There are only so many good players in the world. If Newcastle buy a brilliant player it means one less brilliant player at Man City.
I still think they will struggle to buy the very best. Newcastle is cold and grey and the city (though I love it) is not going to appeal to a player used to a glamorous lifestyle.
As for the scumbag owners, the club will be a great focus for protest for those of us who are sickened by these regimes and the football authorities' cowardly response to them.

Let's face it. This is gutting because we had our chance and blew it. We could have pushed on and won titles, but chose to be risk-averse. And now, it doesn't actually matter how well-run we are, because as someone outside the big clubs these days you need to be well-run and stumble across a lot of luck to actually win - and it's just got even harder. You can't just decide to wait a couple of years while the stadium's finished or until Covid's open, because while you're regressing everyone else is investing. And now we feel firmly out of that elite level and with a shrinking prospect of ever having the Champions League back at the Lane, let alone major trophies.

Yep no more tickets available. Fuck
I understand the celebrations. No doubt Newcastle fans have suffered a great deal under Ashley and success would never come any other way.
However this is a very bad deal for football - quite likely that in the next ten years or so we will have another Chelsea and Man City to compete with.

Man City are possibly regretting destroying FFP now.

I think it’s not about buying players, it’s what it says about the game and the authorities running it. If you have enough money we will turn a blind eye to the utterly repugnant things you are involved in. The game is heading to the gutter and there is little to be proud of.

See for me it's not just another mega rich club who can buy success, it's the owners themselves. The fact it is a state. A state that is so against human rights it isn't even funny. I've seen "chopping" jokes already. The fact they passed the fit and proper test says it all. The PL and the FA have a platform where they can take a stand against such things and have done in racism, rainbow laces and raising the women's game. But then you get this. I don't know. Just makes me feel sick toy stomach that it is no longer a sport to enjoy at the top level. The same fans where were against rich owners bankrolling clubs are now celebrating their own.

pleased for the Newcastle fans, they've been through some shit.
but, to seriously oppose the Superleague and then have a deal like this go through is top level hypocrosy.

They won't struggle through. Newcastle is now the only club in the world that can actually pay Haaland's ludicrous demand of £820k a week. The players won't live in Newcastle. Look at the Manchester clubs most of their big names live in towns and villages around Manchester.
As for the protests, the owners won't care. Sky won't cover it and the international TV audience (who matter a lot more to the PL than us local match attending fans) won't see it.

The cognitive dissonance is actually astonishing
I dislike the way Levy is running the club right now as much as the next person but I'm genuinely thankful that this club hasn't been taken over like Newcastle or City because that would be it for me I think. I know the Newcastle fans have had a shit run under Ashley but surely at least some of them have stopped celebrating for one moment to realise what they're actually supporting here.

People on social media saying 'good for them, they deserve it'???!!? What the actual? Deserve it? The last trophy they won was 1969. They have been largely average bar a couple of seasons. Spend more time in relegation fights than most. They have a good size stadium. That's it. Why do they deserve anything? Surely teams like Tottenham and dare I say it Arsenal deserve success due to the way our clubs are run – Organically. But that's the modern media, totally hypocritical, they spend their time preaching to us, virtue signalling their social justice agendas, then they praise regimes that take over clubs that have horrific human rights against homosexuality. Pricks.

Newcastle United deserve better than Mike Ashley. They also deserve better than the consortium that have taken over their football club.
Grim day for football.

Because all of that doesn't cost them money. Remember when Ozil angered China by highlighting what's happening to Uighurs. Arsenal and the PL distanced themselves from Ozil while EA removed him from the Chinese version of FIFA. If taking a stand against racism hurt the league's profits taking the knee wouldn't be a thing.
