Watched the game yesterday and they were very poor. A club who’s owner has wanted out for some time and has only been prepared to invest the minimum needed to keep them up. Sound familiar?

It’s a no win situation for a manager. If you do succeed in keeping them up, it’s so far below fan expectations that you are branded a failure anyway.

I agree with Jamie Rednapp that Bruce looks like he can’t wait to get out and will probably be relieved when the phone call comes, probably this week.

They recon the new owners will splash out 2 to 3 hundred million in January. Looks to me like they need to spend wisely to keep up.

They can splash what they want in January but the damage will likely be done by then. It’s also rare that high quality, named players move in January…I suspect it’ll take even longer than it did at City to come to fruition.

Lee Clarke was on the wireless on Sunday saying that investment elsewhere is needed immediately if they’re to fulfil their ambition of big names players. He said the training ground is looking tired for that level which has a knock on for development squads etc.

Albeit different levels of cash, some stark similarities between Fenty and Ashley…I still believe the fans and their unrealistic expectations are part of the issue at Newcastle. The fact they’ve claimed they’ve their club back says a lot…success won’t just happen, especially at a club that’s never had any.

It was weird listening and seeing them just assuming they’d get a win on Sunday, it was like they forgot a new owner doesn’t mean your squad is suddenly less excrement. A side that laid £40m and pays 6 figure salaries to the likes of Joelinton deserves all the failure they get…

Money doesn't buy immediate success, look at Wrexham, etc, in our league.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

It'd be funny if it turns into a Venkysesque farce at Blackburn were the owners thought they were just buying a Premier League club. They didn't understand the club could be relegated.

Culminated with a chicken invading the pitch, I seem to recall. Of course, if the same were to happen under Newcastle’s new owners, it would soon be a headless chicken…

I think it has been proven to be fact.

If you get chance, listen to the SPORF podcast with Nick Harris on Blackburn.  Proper behind the curtain stuff.
