Chaos, on behalf of all of us here(I think), I'd like to kneel at your feet. You have always been a beacon of never-ending optimism. Long live the Oracle!!
2nd choice, but maybe.. tbh i dnt think they want defensive football.. they want attention and to grow a worldwide fanbase . instantly all of saudi is a toon fan... good start 33 million fans over night
Staveley's always wanted Rafa and to be honest he's an instantly recognisable figure, more so than Allegri or Poch. Plus the unwashed love Rafa, I can't see any other appointment. He'll get himself out of his Dalian contract easily enough!
im sticking on allegri ... the offer of hundreds of millions in windows toplay with over a few years is a big draw to a manager not to mention a new challenge in the prem and a crazy salary .. its a good project, hes out of work ... could be wrong, but im sticking on him.
I reckon they'll keep Brucie on for a season with players being bought without his say so and obviously being in mind for the next man. Just seems financially silly to sack the manager on top of everything else they're going to be shelling out for, plus there's two tiers of growth when clubs get money. The first wave of players aren't massive but gets you up the table, the second, with the new manager, gets you looking at Europe, etc. I'm thinking a bit like Mark Hughes with City. I'd obviously not mind seeing Rafa return but, if we have the money to build, would be happy to see us take a punt on someone else.
Really good time for Stavely to take over Even without any alteration to FFP regs,you will have 4 years under the new ownership before the books need to have any semblance of balance to them and there will be plenty of bargains to pick up from economically damaged clubs desperate to sell
How long before Newcastle go from being everyone’s 2nd club to state sponsored human rights abusingbastards?
Given we were owned by Mike Ashley the only change there is we get a bit of state sponsorship, which would go down a treat.
Some papers stating we’d have fourth richest owner in the PL. **** that I want to be greedy now, I want us to dwarf Man City & PSG, combined!
