Was annoyed when I first heard, the more I think about it the less bothered I am. That’ll be 7 clubs instead of six. ( if they get 100s of millions). There’s only so many players at the top level so it would more than likely just dilute City and Chelsea’s options. What next, Leeds, Villa, Everton ( they sort of have already) and West Ham? it doesn’t matter anymore . Chelsea had their money when it made the biggest difference, they literally bought trophies, City the same but anymore and it doesn’t matter.
Anyway this time next week we’ll be Champions of Europe.

FFP is much stricter now and their revenue is pretty shit. Plus there’s always an issue getting players to live in Newcastle. They’d obviously improve but don’t think would be another City.

I think I agree with this. We've done a pretty decent job despite City and Chelsea etc so if another team can steal players before City get them then it might be ok in the long run

I was saying to my mate who supports them that im surprised a billionaire doesnt buy them because they have a lot of potential. Looks like it might be happening.

Whether you spin it off as something that has it's benefits or not, to me the last thing we need is another moneybags team. Is never a good thing IMO.

It won't end there either.

Well I guess that's one way of looking at it in that I don't mind Newcastle as a club. Would be terrible if this was West Ham.
