Paullow Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 7 hours ago, Johnny said: If all of this is true, at least it will be a good move form bussiness point of view. An Nashr social media followers double in number after Ronaldo announcement. And shirt sales go up in number too. If that happen to small Saudi club, what will happen to us? The social media thing obviously isn't for everyone and can quickly be dismissed, but I've often wondered why Newcastle's following is so low, relatively. Newcastle's IG followers have increased from 724k pre takeover to 1.3m today, and Twitter from 1.7m to 2.4m, and both will likely continue to increase the better we do, but in terms of IG numbers, West Ham are on 2.3m, Wolves are on 2.1m, Palace 1.5m, Southampton 1.2m. Leicester being on far more (7.1m) is somewhat understandable given they won the league and FA Cup in recent years, plus will likely have had a sizable increase from Thailand since their takeover. I guess it highlights the massive lack of commercial activity and progression during the Ashley reign, and general fan apathy at the time, but I still thought we'd have significantly more followers than say Palace or Southampton who have largely been operating in the bottom half with no European football.

Thomson Mouse Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 10 hours ago, Skeletor said: I was worried something like this would happen sooner or later. Saudis have shown with their WWE investment that they want big names, even if they're old or been dead for decades. Can very much see him being forced upon the team next season and completely upsetting the harmony and balance we have. It's sus as fuck that he's gone to some crap Saudi team if he hasn't been made some kind of promise. Not a chance this will happen, wouldn’t waste any time on it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Maybe Ronaldo wanted the clause rather than the other way round, as he wants CL football as an out. Either way, he’s never coming here. Would never be able to get behind him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing them round for free to get around FFP rules is what I'm thinking will be frowned upon. I haven't examined Watford's transfer dealings in detail but I presume a reasonably acceptable amount of money exchanges hands between clubs to keep everyone happy when the players move.

Think it may more be to do with Miggys emergence as a god among mere mortals meaning a CM has jumped up the priority order compared to a wide forward type.

Possibly, but we are still massively short in the wide areas imo, if we wanted Trossard I do feel he would have been obtainable this month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Was rather hoping we'd have something extra for the two cup ties. Especially with three competitions on the go. Just cant shake the all hands on deck feel and nervousness about suspensions and injuries. Margins are fine at this vantage point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
