They’re happy Ashley is out. Nearly 15 years of him milking them.I have checked out Newcastle fan forum to see their reactions. Almost everyone seems happy about the take over.

this take over won't affect Arsenal. We have been in midtable for 2 seasons already.Well, feck. That's us dropping out of the top four unless we get better than Pool.
Chelsea, City, Newcastle, <wildcard>. That's 3/4 top four spaces locked down.
Of course it is. If you have enough money then you can get to the top quite easily. City did it in 4 or 5 years. Everton and Villa aren’t comparable in the slightest.I think you are wrong. It really isn't easy to buy your way to the top of the PL. Everton and Aston Villa can testify to that.
FFP is a live and kicking and it has stopped City, otherwise Kane and a whole host of others would be playing for them.
What FFP hasn't stopped is Pep. When he goes the playing field will be much more level imo.
In all liklihood it will take Newcastle a good few years to challenge for the top 4. It will take significant funds and good management and it may take many years.
My last post today.
And they’ll do great too! Problem with us is will the glazers spend the money if we sell the fringe lads and after them we nearly have no fringe players (read excuses) leftLingard, VdB, Martial all headed there in Jan
You basically wrote what I was about to type. It will take Newcastle a while to get going but, once they do, it’s two doped teams plus the rest fighting for the crumbs. Imagine a Champions League semi-final quartet including PSG, City and Newcastle…I assume they’ll follow a similar trajectory to Man City. A few years of bumming about throwing large fees at big club rejects and being better known for noise in the transfer market than on the pitch. Then they‘ll hire a half decent manager, become more established and start to win trophies.
Ultimately it becomes a big three trinity of oil clubs in them, city and Chelsea who are immune to all the transgressions and vagaries of the market and capable of paying through the nose for any talented footballer out there.
Leaving Liverpool and United fighting for 4th and Arsenal, Tottenham etc languishing perpetually in mid table. It’s tragic.
Yeah, these are much better owners. Hurray for murderers!Congrats to them. They deserve it after the shite they've had to put up with Mike Ashley. Hate owners like them, completely gutting the club. Like Arsenal.
It's like our fanbase is in denial about how much we spend ourselvesWell, feck. That's us dropping out of the top four unless we get better than Pool.

I'm waiting for the Taliban to buy a club in the EPL, probably some colombian drug kingpins as wel might be interested in buying an english club.One Russian mafia and two oil countries in the Premier League. It will be finished in 8-10 years.
Football is over. Chelsea and City accelerated it's death, city in particular as they were an absolute nothing club. Chelsea at least had put in the groundwork of becoming a competitive team.
If you're a team like Brentford or villa or any club that's been working so hard to build and progress then this is like being booted off the 'pyramid' and being told to be grateful to be let back on. Newcastle are a floundering shambles of a club and through no sporting merit at all are about to overtake clubs who have had projects in place for years with blood sweat and tears in it.
Abu Dhabi v Saudi Arabia. They should be made to change names to reflect reality. They're not football clubs anymore.
I know right....there's gonna be a meltdown in here tonight!It's like our fanbase is in denial about how much we spend ourselves
Leeds. They’re a prime candidate for some oil state to buy.Well, feck. That's us dropping out of the top four unless we get better than Pool.

Murderous monsters make for much better owners!Congrats to them. They deserve it after the shite they've had to put up with Mike Ashley. Hate owners like them, completely gutting the club. Like Arsenal.
You think they’ll keep Steve Bruce? He’s a goner.This is actually great news. Bruce can do us a favour an sign Lingard, Martial, Jones this winter window. Great upgrade for Newcastle and we get rid of players hogging up space and wages.
PS I love Martial, but comes a time when a player with great potential hasn’t fulfilled it and you have to let him go knowing he might be very good elsewhere

Yeh, Daniel Levy could have took over and theyd have celebrated. Mike Ashley was held in disdain up thereThey’re happy Ashley is out. Nearly 15 years of him milking them.
absolutely. Money on Conte for me. He'll make them very good, but i imagine hes a royal pain for owners/chairman because he always wants new players.You think they’ll keep Steve Bruce? He’s a goner.
Well the sugar daddy owners like Abromovich, the oil owners all do it massively.how many owners worldwide do this though (Bayern, Real, Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, ? if clubs generate loads in revenue do owners often inject cash?
To be honest I would guess a large majority of United fans outside of the caf wouldn’t care either.No doubt, and Newcastle fans more than most don't seem to give a feck.
The depths people would stoop to for some sport trophies...
I’m not saying they won’t spend that much, they have the potential to splash much more than a billion over the next few years. But if they’re clever they could feasibly put together a team challenging for the CL spots for less than that. When they reach Europe is when you start to see the big vanity transfers.Maybe I am, but I think you are kidding yourself if you think they will be able to get to top for anything less than a billion.
City's owners have spent 2bn - to win the league/league cup, haven't won the CL yet.
Chelsea have spent 2bn since Roman came in - few leagues, couple of CL titles.
Utd have spent a billion in 10 years, nothing much to show for it.
Arsenal have spent half billion and are shit
Aston Villa and Everton have rich owners, they've outspent nearly every club in the league and most of Europe's top clubs - roughly half a billion each in the last few years - what have they got for it?
And the fact the case failed because their cheating was time barred due to ineptitude on UEFA's front...Of course it is. If you have enough money then you can get to the top quite easily. City did it in 4 or 5 years. Everton and Villa aren’t comparable in the slightest.
And you conveniently leave out the billion or so Pep has spent in his time there.
Barcelona spent a lot too, so did Real Madrid. You’re being naive if you think a legitimate football club relying on fair market price sponsorship deals, gate tickets, and tv revenue can in the long term compete with state-backed clubs.It's like our fanbase is in denial about how much we spend ourselves
