Optimistic Nut Posted Sunday at 07:26 Share Posted Sunday at 07:26 10 hours ago, Stifler said: Except both us and Villa are owned by billionaires and are amongst the richest sporting clubs in the world due to ownership wealth. We’ve also both employed very good managers who have now been in their position for 3 years, and had the support of their boards during rough periods. Nottingham Forest struggled for 2 years, and even got a points deduction because of how they had to spend money to rebuild their squad. Brighton repeatedly sell their best players at the first opportunity, and have arguably taken a step backwards since their European qualification a couple of seasons ago. I can’t see their supporters sticking by them in any of those scenarios, nor can I see their owner throwing them the money required to build a squad that could compete further up the Premier League. If they do go up, he’ll likely sell to the first American consortium who get in contact with him. God help them if the club starts charging them ticket prices more in line with the Premier League and they have to start contributing towards their success.

Since the PL form we've spent a combined 5 seasons out the PL. They nearly spent that in L1 alone! We've spent 3 seasons outside the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let alone the other wealthier 17 premier clubs. Our absolutely horrible 90/91 season (rank it as the worst non-Ashley season I personally experienced,) the epitome of midtable, lost at home to Bristol Rovers and Notts County, rock bottom Hull did the double over us etc. We were closer to automatic promotion than these this season. Devon White killed us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they go up they’ll get hammered and the fans will turn on them, if they don’t go up they’ll struggle to match this season and the fans will turn on them. They need to remember they were in League 1 very recently and struggled to get out of it. #FansFault *Which 99% of their problems actually are but they'll never admit it.

He's this generations Lee Cattermole. A massively overhyped clogger that throws himself about a bit to show his passion for the club. As annoying a dickhead you're unlikely to find.

If they go up I'd say there's a massive chance that Louis-Dreyfus sells up. He's not there as a fan, he's there to prove to his family that he's a big boy and by selling up he can show that he can take a distressed asset and flip it for a profit.

Was just an email from Coventry saying as I have attended a home game "recently", sure it was 2 years ago, I have until tomorrow to apply for the play off home leg ticket I'm entitled to. I'm just useless with technology and trying to upload stuff etc so have taken it down. If they go up maybe they'll give me a ticket for the Toon game. Bit too old for sitting undercover with home fans nowadays like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targets putting in a strong tackle on a kid when they're getting thumped and trying to get the crowd going, and pretty much bullying a bloke who was likely getting pelters all game, and who despite being shite, was 10x the player O'Nien ever will be.

et tu brute Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago I see the faux outrage squad are banging their drums, because one of them mentioned about speaking to a Newcastle Councillor about the new possible stadium location. For one there has been virtually nothing coming out, so I don't believe for a second that a high ranking Councillor would just give some mackem confidential information, which would have NDAs in place on any agreement. I love seeing how broken they are now on any mention concerning our club, the sad cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago (edited) This just made me laugh, in a thread explaining why they shouldn't worry about being rubbish in the last 5 games the opening post shared an insight about how PSG have just made it to the final of the Champions League: "Look at Paris St Germain, for example. They won the title and went unbeaten all season. But as they started to prepare the (Champions League) semi-final, they lost two games in a row. Now they're comfortable through to final."
