    We’re going down that road again are we <laugh>
    You’ve had over a 100 years to stake your claim and a seat at the top table. The fact you haven’t isn’t the fault of the clubs you mention. Like many clubs, you’ve had decades of limited, to no success, whilst being able to compete on an equal footing.
    You have had more “black marks” for your off-field activities than the “gold stars” for success on it, but somehow that’s every other club’s fault <laugh>

    I disagree, they follow the success or at least the chance of it.

    Yeah, sorry about your wish of attacking football.

    maybe when you are back in division 2 it will be something you can see.

    I'm olny 65 mate ...

    ... and you're entitled to your opinion(s) - even if they are largely bollocks - which is mine ...

    As to staking our claim - 4th most successful club in Britain over the last decade and a half will do for me ... particularly as it was achieved on a fraction of the spend of those around us <cheers>

    why didn’t Newcastle build on the modest success of the 90’s.
    They expanded the stadium, signed a striker for a world record fee etc.

    Paid big money fees and wages.

    Because they were coming from a league below initially, it wasn't sustained and over a longer period other clubs spent more.

    Nobody has won anything using local talent from local areas alone since long before the moon landing though, so anyone pretending they've won anything without spending large sums of money is an Ostrich.

    They were already trying to meet the horseshit of financial regulations before relegation.

    Whilst not all born in Manchester, Utd were quite successful with the talent they bought through their academy <whistle>

    Goes a small way to making up for the time they went bust and took advantage of the lack of rules at the time. Meh.

    Having already spent money and continued. I know people like to bullshit themselves, but without money none of that ever happens.

    There's a reason why certain clubs wanted to run away from competition and its because they know fine well they ain't running classes.
