Disagree.
Really ? Mike bought 40 million Joelinton 20 million Wilson 25 million willock and 16 million saint max in his last 2 seasons.

Cool, so you think we'll still make another couple of big signings then. Nice
Aside from ASM, we don't have many saleable assets (that we want to get rid of) so we will find ourselves in a pickle transfer wise. Of course we could offload some dross and raise some additional funds but who will sign the likes of Lascelles and Lewis?I think they'll sign players after Barnes yes ...I don't see them being big signings like we've started getting too used to.
The prices are almost irrelevant tbh....who says they can't find a couple of gems.
I feel like I'm under attack for suggesting newcastle need to wheel and deal, but that's what the evidence suggests doesn't it ?

As ice said before, once we up the commercial aspects, we will fly. We can't just offload players to Saudi, that would look dodgy as hell (for those who ask that question!)
£250m over 5 years, I’ll tell you all again, £250m over 5 years. In case you didn’t read my previous 243 posts telling you all we only have £250m over 5 yearsObviously you haven't because you don't seem to want to acknowledge the money has dried up for a while.
It'll be a test of the new owners ability to buy cheaper players.

Just the wheeling and dealing left .... it'll be like Ashley times for a short time
What Joe Kinnear replacing Howe, the stadium renamed, and Isak sold and replaced with Shefki Kuqi?
We were screwed over by fat Mike. So much so, we actually went backwards commercially. Sure, we had no debt but commercial deals were and are our limiting factor. Percentage of wages to turnover might also be an issue, courtesy if fatso.There's no telling a % of the fanbase mate because no matter what they're told and no matter how many sources tell them they simply choose to ignore all the evidence.
They find an excuse to believe it's all just fake news and Newcastle will buy more big name players at high prices.

I'm here for the ride, like yourself. I look at our squad and the improvements over such a short space of time is crazy! The owners always stressed this was a slow process. I believe that, even if top 4 kind of put pressure to rush things
There is certainly a % of the fanbase that don't understand the financial aspects, but I think broadly, on here we're appreciative of the fact.There's no telling a % of the fanbase mate because no matter what they're told and no matter how many sources tell them they simply choose to ignore all the evidence.

He means we will be on the look out for promising youth that won't cost a bomb. Players like Kuol and Minteh for example. I'm happy with ambitious youth signings like that to be fair mateBut, but, but, CC said we were going back to those days again, he said "it'll be like Ashley times".
