    Im pretty sure Newcastle is a good sports washing opportunity mate!

    Funny thing about Man U is not a lot will change. They already hugely overspend. They might get a kick of paint at Carrington/OT but I don’t think any new owners will make a huge difference as they’re already near the top of the tree and always a threat.

    Indeed , but the reality is Newcastle was bought for **** all with the intention of turning 300 million into 3 to 6 billion over 5 to 10 years.

    Buying man united for 6 billion is nothing but sportswashing as it represents no opportunity to be anything else.

    The media will never highlight that huge difference of course.

    Man united would be able to go insane in the summer... Newcastle cannot

    Ha, agreed! The “look out world, Man U are back” will drown out any tiny noise to the contrary.

    Pathetic, double standard bollocks. But who ****ing cares - we have a club full of hope and will just go about our business under no pressure.

    Basically this. We are an absolute perfect football club to grow value. Which means we may as well enjoy the ride.

    Compared to what we have had in prior ownerships I can take that.

    Additionally it looks like Man City and Liverpool are ****ed and out of the equation.

    Manu will be our main competitor along with Arsenal.

    Like the good old days.

    Bring it on.

    Man united will blow newcastle out of the atmosphere if this goes through unless ffp is scrapped.

    We really need ffp scrapped.

    No they won’t. No need to panic. There’s more than 25 good players in the World. Plenty for more than a few top teams.

    Of course they would... they unlike newcastle can take spending to an unrivalled level from day 1.

    You're talking about whether Newcastle can compete on the pitch which is unlikely on most occasions already.

    Even if they did take spending higher there are still more good players in the world than one club can buy. Buy the others and a good coach and manager will see them compete. No problem.

    At present we haven’t even started so yes City and so on should blow us out of the water but so far they didn’t, nor did United, nor did Liverpool etc simply proving my point.

    You're focused on players on the pitch I'm taking off it ..man united already can blow newcastle united out the water and then getting a 350 billion pounds owner takes them into an entirely new atmosphere.

    There's no panic either thats just the way it is unless ffp is removed

    If you’re not talking about on the pitch then who cares? I don’t care if they blow us out of the water off the pitch. That’s not what matters if we are competing on the pitch.

    They'll not likely compete on the pitch if they're bulldozing it off the pitch ..Newcastle would try to compete which is not impossible but highly unlikely.

    For every flash in the pan season there's decades of reality.

    You do realise what man United would be immediately I'd they got the kind of ownership? They could take spending to a new atmosphere.

    It's next level for an already existing super power.

    And I go back to there are more than 25 good players in the world. Why have City never won the CL? They have more money than anyone else until last year for over a decade. Having the most money is a big help but it’s not the be all and end all.

    I go back to man united blowing newcastle out of the atmosphere with a 350 billion pound takeover. I never indicated anything was the be all and end all mate.

    Let's agree to disagree

    Why on earth are you suggesting I'm panicking ? I don't care about competing with man united anyway I'm just highlighting a truth .

    Why is it whenever I say something unpopular people respond with how happy they are ?

    Everything is great I keep saying it myself .

    You can but you can't at the same time tell me I'm unhappy or panicking just because I'm highlighting something you don't like or that you disagree with.

    Well I mean you can it just makes no sense...

    In reality its a huge misread.

    That’s fine. I’m just concerned that you sounded unhappy and were panicking.
