Newcastle United Takeover

[AndyY]

Dimwit- stupid or silly person. Jordan can be called many things but stupid or silly? I find him erudite,informed,interesting etc. My opinion of course.

The only person worth listening to on TalkSport.
I am sure that if I met him I would not like him, but he does know his stuff with respect to the football industry.

Must be exciting for their fans now regardless of anything. Fosun have the funds to get us in a position to make a big impact in the top flight just like Newcastles owners, for whatever reason they arent doing it. It looked so promising for the first 2 seasons and it appears to me they have got complacent.

Complacency would mean they feel we have enough to push to the next level with what we have. I just dont buy that. IMO they've gone as far as they want to go and will cash in given the right opportunity.

I think they thought our upward trajectory would keep going like it did, thats where i think they got complacent. I dont see them cashing in tbh, they are developing so many areas of the club it wouldnt make sense for them to just walk away.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

So who reckons Newcastle will be after some of our players in the next few windows?

Adama I would think maybe 50m won’t sign a new deal here!!

 

[JohnMatrix]

I cant argue with your comment but my points are against the hypocricy and selective double standards of some of our political lefty fans who seek to take massive umbrage (and spread a lot of fake news) about Saudi/Qatari/Emirati regimes while closer to our Molineux home they are quite happy to completely turn a blind eye to the many wrongs of the Chinese regime that tacitly supports our own club owners.

Personally I'm a lot happier watching quality players like Moutinho & Co plying their trade at Molineux than I was watching Neill Collins & co. I'm quite happy what Fosun have done so far at Wolves and if Newcastle rock up at Molineux next season with a star studded line up funded by Saudi petrodollars then I'll just stand there and enjoy the game alongside 30,000 others without attempting to put the world to rights.

You're insane.

I honestly think Fosun have realised that unless you build up the self sustainable elements of the club (alongside an injection of cash) then you will just continually be funding a dream and the money soon runs out (ask Derby)
I expect the geordies to do a mix of both (like we are) however their fan base and world appeal after years in the prem gives them a huge head start… apparently they can splurge £190M and be within FFP rules

They can spend 190m but that effects their knock on spend the following season..... Just like when fulham spent over 100m if they are in a relegation scrap still come January newcastle have to play this very carefully

or jumping in to steal players we are interested in signing, Man City and United's money stole top players we near enough had signed.
can see this happening again,

 

[sc91]

From spurs forum but a valid point
View attachment 24325

We are one of the culprits as I've said before, just Fosun have done the PR drive in a different way.

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

so say they spend 190mill, then the following season get into Europa league, i expect they would then get slapped as we did and that their next few transfer windows would be uneventful?

 

[MasWolf]

I would be less nervous about them taking our players but more nervous about them taking our targets. Boubacar Kamara was linked with them on transfer deadline day like we were. Could imagine the likes of Botman would also be more interested in them than us.

That's an excellent point!

 

[MasWolf]

Swap Saint-Maximin for Adama? Not such a bad deal.

Never!

 

[Sammy Chungs Tracksuit]

I think the political views have been done to death on this thread, so I'll just respond Foxtrot Oscar to your echo chamber where everybody agrees with you.

You can tell they know **** all about running a football club as everyone knows they should be promoting a youth team coach to the position.

Sacked and gets 8million.. Just car understand what he's worried about.FFS.

I agree, Steve Bruce has absolutely nothing to worry about! Possibly a fractious working relationship with Mike Ashley coupled with the fact their fans hate him.

We’ll played Mr Bruce!

Conspiracy theory isn't a political view.

 

[AndyWolves]

If they do come in for any of our players then we should get more than top dollar for them.

Newcastle may even help spark a bidding war

Been linked with the Dippers again in the Liverpool press.

Ashley essentially ran Newcastle in a similar manner to Jizz running Wolves. In both cases that made the club attractive to buy with respect to FFP.

If Ashley pitches up at Derby l doubt that Shrek will stay too long.... Next job for Bruce?

But he’s crap with no end product.

Has been past 3 years still ain’t coughed up the cash.......

 

[wwbug]

If you have to have a top four then why not Newcastle , Man City , Chelsea and another .
Like to see Man Utd , Liverpool and Arsenal fighting to avoid being also rans.
Having lived with Ashley for 14 years , who was worse than Moxey , they deserve some respite.

Brucie is 60 and apparently will get an £8 million pay off if Newcastle sack him. I'd retire and enjoy myself, what about you?

What a sporting director ? no club with decent ambitions should have a sporting director ……

Point proven - Jeff

Perhaps the Saudis could appoint Sellars

I would personally but Bruce seems to have the football bug... Just look at Woy retiring in his 80s and Colin still managing well into his 70s... I suspect Mick is another who will work as long as he can....

I cant see Brucie having to get in the line for the food bank can you.

 

[wwbug]

Yes, it was tribal.... in the7th century! Things have moved on a bit in the intervening 13 centuries, though, mate.

Tell that to a Baggies fan.

Football today has passed that generation and the likes of the Bruces' etc, Think I'd say thanks and head for my pipe and slippers.

It feels to me like what happened at Sunderland and Villa under their previous owners. New men come in with lots of talk about winning things. Spend loads of money and finish well in the Premier League. Then dawns the realisation that they need to spend the amount they've spent again AT LEAST to have any chance of improving, and interest starts to wane,

Please God! I wanna see Newcastle 0 Spurs 5. I think that Amanda Whatsername has been talking total crap, Sounds like she knows about as much about football as.... Jeff Shi?

 

[JOSWolf]

I've got to say I would love it if Spurs took Newcastle apart next weekend. I am getting sick and tired of all this crap on them now. If you think we have entitled fans then think again. Take a look at Newcastle fans!

 

[sc91]

I just want the whole thing to pop and if that means Wolves are collateral then so be it, the whole thing is just blah.
