Yea, I wish there was an actual footballing staff in place, I'd feel much more confident in my statement but since Howe seems to and I say seems to have the final say how on earth could he agree to torpedoing his squad and sending it to the bottom of the North Sea?

The dude running the transfers is indisputably even more impatient than the fans to strengthen his squad. If he could have gotten four more players in by offering more money he probably would have done so already. Edited July 28, 2025 by oldtype Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone in the hierarchy is making VFM assessments of players' fees by the looks of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's deeper than that honestly, I don't even think it's much of a value for money issue as it is a budget issue. We simply don't have the revenue to pay these fees and wages required for the profile of player we want. We are in this no mans land of revenue whereby we are bigger than the midtable pack however much smaller than the cartel lot. As I know you and so others have been questioning our work on the commercial side had been underwhelming, and the club can spout about has increased x% but the floor, it was the lowest hanging or low fruit. TLDR our revenues hold us back massively, we are more of a statute to be cartel clubs dumping ground for the stiffs they have rather than competing with them.

Mattoon Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 This is where I think we miss Amanda a lot, someone at the helm who had a personal stake in the club, albeit a small one, who threw everything into making us the best version of ourselves. I know people say she likes to spend other people's money and yes she probably did make a few mistakes in the risks she took, it put us in a position of losing two highly thought of youth prospects and unable to spend for a lengthy time, but it also brought us 2 CL seasons and our first trophy in most of our lifetimes. When we lost her we lost someone with a vested interest. We need more Eddie's and Amanda's higher up, we've failed at that so far with Mitchell and Ashworth, we need to make the right appointment soon and I think everything else falls into place.

Toon No9 Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 I think we have increased our revenue and stand much stronger within the PSR rules than a year ago. We had a plan to sign 3-4 very good players for £40M or even up to £50M each. But the market has gone up, so theese players today actually goes for £60-70M. Something we didn't see coming. We also saw ourself as a much more attractive club to come to than we really are. I think we should be looking for more "unknown" or up and coming players who doesn't have the option to sign for the "biggest" clubs yet and who really sees coming to Newcastle as a dream move. Maybe we're aiming to high to early? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our 2nd CL campaign in 3 years and a domestic trophy win I think its fair to say we've arrived but we have to sustain that in order for players and agents to take notice, for them we could still just be a flash in the pan.
