Newcastle are currently lingering near bottom after countless years in the footballing wilderness, at least in terms of success. They're struggling against third tier opponents.
It is quite possible, some would say likely, that over the next decade Newcastle will rise to relevance and possibly compete in the champions league or even win a title. In doing so, they will leapfrog clubs like west ham and Leicester and likely make clubs like arsenal, spurs and dare i say it, possibly even us, less and less likely to compete.
Simply put - their utter embarrassment today, their lowly position and their global irrelevance does not matter. They are about to buy it.
People like to pretend that without clubs backed by dodgy countries, clubs like United and barca would be just winning constantly, never threatened. But, just look at United and barca now. Look at any of the big Italian clubs at one point or another. Big clubs all fall naturally. Leaving space for another.
Without city and chelsea, Tottenham Liverpool and Leicester might have 1 or more titles in recent years. Without psg plenty of french clubs would.
My point is that Newcastle today are what City once were and yet they can still try to argue with a straight face that they are anything more than a plastic toy, who bought relevance and that there is a jot of true sporting merit to their ascendancy. Or that they havent inflated the markets and accelerated the soul destroying of the sport. (Uniteds corporate side do this too) That they somehow played a role in upsetting the status quo, despite every big club for one reason or another naturally going through highs and lows.
These clubs are simply unnatural, non sporting and, when you look and newscastle today and then imagine the next decade goes as they plan, it is clear they are ruining the game.
They're essentially fake clubs, using former clubs names and brands, to make money and propaganda for murky countries. Nothing more
