They are not worse than most of the bottom half and you can see that he is a huge downgrade on Benetiz.With that shitty squad, sure he did. Keeping them twice in the PL.

So Newcastle owners are richer than all other owners combined. Will be interesting to see how they build the club.So the rank by wealth of the owners in the Premier League is as follows:
1. Newcastle United - Saudi investment Fund - £320b
2. Man City – Sheikh Mansour (£22.9bn)
3. Chelsea – Roman Abramovich (£9.6bn)
4. Arsenal – Stan Kroenke (£6.35bn)
5. Aston Villa – Nassef Sawiris (£5.3bn)
6. Wolves – Guo Guangchang (£4.5bn)
7. Tottenham – Joe Lewis (£3.6bn)
8. Manchester United – The Glazers (£3.5bn)
9. Crystal Palace – Joshua Harris (£3.36bn)
10. Leicester – Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha (£2.9bn)
11. Southampton – Gao Jisheng (£2.3bn)
12. Liverpool – John Henry (£2.14bn)
13. Everton – Farhad Moshiri (£1.9bn)
14. West Ham – David Sullivan and David Gold (£1.62bn)
15. Brighton – Tony Bloom (£765m)
16. Leeds – Andrea Radrizzani (£344m)
17. Watford – Gino Pozzo (£93m)
18. Burnley – Mike Garlick (£62m)
19. Norwich – Delia Smith and Michael Wynn-Jones (£23m)
20. Brentford – Matthew Benham (£3m)
I don't think it would be Klopp's style. Pep on the other hand I could easily see going there, although I'd expect him to get a large exit payment from City on the condition of not joining Newcastle or PSG.They'll probably start by buying the likes of Rice and other player outside of the CL teams. Would Sterling go there? Imagine if Klopp joined.

I don't think they'll get anyone particularly high profile to begin with. They'll get a considerable upgrade on Bruce and get their star name manager when they're knocking on the door of the CL places. There's still a relegation scrap and scramble up the table to get through first before they're an attractive proposition for the very best. But yeah, it would be interesting to see Klopp or Zidane jump onboard at the very beginning.Indeed, it's not Klopp but I'd like to see what he could do with a blank cheque. Zidane would lift their profile.
Must admit I'm looking forward to see what they can do. I think they'll upgrade the stadium too.I don't think they'll get anyone particularly high profile to begin with.

Won't be interesting at all. They'll murder football.So Newcastle owners are richer than all other owners combined. Will be interesting to see how they build the club.
Yeah, although I see it as another nail in the coffin for football at a time when I'm increasingly apathetic towards football, it's still better than f***ing City winning the league every year.Must admit I'm looking forward to see what they can do. I think they'll upgrade the stadium too.
Nothing new then isn't it. It's already done by City and PSG. Also it's not as if other club fans hated them. Liverpool fans cheered for them when they completed with ManUtd for title, likewise ManUtd fans wanted them to win instead of Liverpool.Won't be interesting at all. They'll murder football.
That is true. PSG were, and thankfully remain, an irrelevance packaged away in their farmer's league. City were amusing and yes I sold my soul supporting them against Ferguson. Chelsea too I suppose but at least, joyfully, Abramovic lost many billions and his visa. However, now I'm sure in a few years I'll care as much for PL football as I do international cricket (used to be an avid fan before the match fixing killed me totally inside).Nothing new then isn't it.

Now we both have one more team to cheer for when our clubs won't be winning the title.
At this stage I think it's safe to say that Abu Dhabi the country (through Mansour and ABUG) actually own and run Manchester City. So their owners are worth a lot more than that.So the rank by wealth of the owners in the Premier League is as follows:

2. Man City – Sheikh Mansour (£22.9bn)

Yeah, likewise Newcastle will get enough support from the club fans who want new winners or from the clubs who won't be in the race.That is true.

It's timed well as new Plough Lane has opened up near me so I might get myself involved in watching lower league.
One of my biggest nightmares would have been this lot buying Arsenal or Liverpool. It seemed like they were always going to buy a club and it was a matter of when, not if. As far as the potential clubs they could have bought goes, Newcastle is one of the choices I'm happy with.Yeah, although I see it as another nail in the coffin for football at a time when I'm increasingly apathetic towards football, it's still better than f***ing City winning the league every year.

Agreed. They're a club I think most people have some affection for which makes it an easier pill to swallow, however I'm sure that will wear off when they start winning everything. Also, it could very easily have been LeedsOne of my biggest nightmares would have been this lot buying Arsenal or Liverpool.

But they cannot offer those players Champions League football, not even Europa, but potentially a relegation dogfight.They can sign Mbappe, Pogba and Lingard for ZERO in a few months.
Haaland for £75m
And that's just the start
Who cares for Champions League? At this point it's basically the FA cup. Milan, Inter, Juve and Barcelona are all in shambles. Only continental teams that still has some bite is Bayern, PSG and Real Madrid.But they cannot offer those players Champions League football, not even Europa, but potentially a relegation dogfight.
Personally, I don't think that they can run before they can walk..
Just curious, did you sign up specifically to come on here and defend Newcastle? Do you have any other interests on the forum or is it just this? Genuine question.Who cares for Champions League?

Those players do not have a problem with transferring to a club where they get a mediocre season, they are advised by top-business minded agents.
Everyone thinks that it will be the same as City, forgetting that excatly Because of city, and PSG, it wont be like that, they know Newcastle will be the dominant force in english Football in just a couple of years, might as well join now, rather then get caught up in some club struggling to finish 4. Espacially considering that the competetiveness of the league is ever decreasing.
Which is the scariest part about it tbh. The Newcastle path to establishing themselves as one of the biggest clubs in the world could be a lot easier than City's.One thing is for sure with this Newcastle takeover. At least the spending and new players will be cheered on by a full stadium, not scarves and empty and seats.
So the rank by wealth of the owners in the Premier League is as follows:
8. Manchester United – The Glazers (£3.5bn)
You are asking this and you are a United fan since 78 or is the username about something else?Why are Man Utd in debt if they have that kind of money?

I do not wish to defend Newcastle, they are just another club, that sold the sport and their cultural heritage for some immediate succes, based on economics, rather than sports.Just curious, did you sign up specifically to come on here and defend Newcastle?

I have never cheered Chelsea, City and I will never cheer Newcastle, as far as I am concerned all points are null are void and the real peoples champions and champions that I recognise, over the last few seasons are:Nothing new then isn't it.

Sure they can, out of the last 4 finalists in the CL 3 of them is PSG, City and Chelsea, then you have Bayern that has the German league in an unprecedented stranglehold.CL matters.
FA cup? City can't win UCL, neither PSG.
I don't think the likes of Mbappé and Haaland will go to a team that doesn't play UCL, they are way too high profile for that.
I reckon Newcastle can get the likes Lacazette, Dembele,Martial,Kimmich,Jota,etc but no way they are getting Mbappé and Haaland....way too high profile to not play UCL.
I don't believe that for one minute. They are sport washing plain and simple. Get their name associated with the EPL, a global brand, televised throughout the entire world, across China, India, USA, other parts of Asia directing attention away from their human rights record.Just remember that the Saudis are investing to get a return, to make more money. Makes you wonder how much money is enough if you can’t get by on a couple of trillions. They will take their time and don’t expect fireworks for at least two seasons. Still don’t think the top drawer players and their wags will fancy the North East although it is really lovely up there, but the weather is worse than Manchester.
