If UK plc can sell the Saudis helicopter gunships, fighter jets, bullets and bombs why shouldn’t they invest in one of our football clubs?


I wonder how many people complaining about the takeover are closet big six fans and are really just concerned about more competition

I think within 3 years Newcastle will be part of an expanded Big 5 with Chelsea, Liverpool, United & City.


I reckon they'll be buying into a repeated attempt at getting a European Super League going which undoubtedly is going to happen.

I think the big 6 might be about to become the big 5 with Arsenal and Spurs just also rans unable to compete financially.

I have to say the coverage in the last 24 hours has really got on my mammaries. It’s not like their club has been saved from the edge of extinction, if memory serves me right all barring two seasons most of the Ashley resign has been in the Premier league, though they have smaller support bases there are a number of supporters of lower league clubs who have had it much worse.

Everyone in the media seems to assume that NUFC are everyone’s second favourite team, I’m not sure this is the case. I also love the way some of their supporters are saying they’re not bothered about big signings etc.. well that’s bull sh1t if I ever heard it.

I’m pleased for their supporters that they have got rid of their version of JSF but I’m not convinced the media need to bug it up, then again they have to report something don’t they and I guess it’s better than the fuel crisis, petrol supplies, food poverty, £20 cut in Universal Credit, nobody to drive lorries etc… etc… etc…


I agree, it's this whole 'Newcastle is a massive club' sh*t but they haven't won anything for bloody years.

It's like Liverpool and Man Utd calling the years when they didn't win a trophy the Crisis Years or whatever.

A sense of perspective.


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

Have to say, despite the fact that they're in the premier league the comparisons with the Fenty reign are relevant in my opinion.
It's been about putting the minimum in to get the maximum out, and the objective is to survive in the premier league. Every now and then when you set out to finish fourth bottom it goes wrong but they always bounce back quickly.
I lived up there for 8 years and the club is an institution, the potential is huge with the right leadership. It's just a bigger version of GTFC and the transition from Fenty to JS/AP may be an indicator of what it's like going from MA to whoever now owns Newcastle

I particularly like all these 'Newcastle are a big club whose fans deserve success' types that are popping up everywhere?

Have they forgotten the 7,134 that bothered to turn up at St James's Park back in 1979, or the 9,419 in 1982 or the 10,057 in 1992?


Coming from a Lincoln supporter this is hilarious referencing old attendances.

When have I ever stated that Lincoln are a big club?

Then again averaging over 16,700 in the early 50’s isn’t to be sniffed at.

You didn’t but your attendances where p1ss poor before Clive Nates came in and to his and the club’s credit transformed things.
