Rival watch

He's been busy mentioning Sunderland every day since the takeover on the Newcastle board. I'm afraid he's unable to use the 'Rent free' gag.

The bloke is obsessed with us even when his club are having good news.

 

I'm not surprised you don't care about these things known as "books"

 

Enjoy the future

 

Just what the world needs: an Arsenal in the North East...

 

Danny Blind isn;t complementary of Petr Principle

...which just so happens to sound an awful lot like us at any point since January 2019

I just feel there's no words or anything that describes the situation better

 

A man who's pocketed a bunch of dodgy cash from Saudi Arabian murderers strutting around?
Combined with the black and white background, you're probably right.

I doubt it, WWE are in cost-cutting mode at the moment

I hope it's not because their last Saudi cheque bounced...

 

It's getting intolerable having these posters coming out of the woodwork.
Nothing worse than someone having some lucky win and bragging about it as if they are so clever.
This is the Spurs forum to talk about our rivals. Not rival's forum to - I don't even know what they are doing here.

I've said it before: as much as I pile in on ENIC for the number of really bad mis-judgements they've made over the years, I do feel a degree of sympathy for Levy and his team. It must hurt like hell to set about enacting what amounts to a 20-year vision, to get to the cusp of success only for another team to get to the same place in 20 minutes.

That more than anything has demoralised me over the years. As soon as outsiders like us or Leicester started showing promise, Chelsea, City and United simply threw money at the problem until it went away. Give it a few years and we'll have to add Newcastle to that list, which means in essence that the top 4 will be a stitch-up with the odd blip here and there when someone other than those teams makes it.

It is testimony to the job Klopp has done that Liverpool have remained a top force in the face of City, Chelsea and United all spending nearly £200m more than them since they signed VVD and Allison.

We just have to hope that the revenue from the stadium will kick in in a significant way before Newcastle find a winning formula. We have a much larger global fanbase and the allure of London, so i reckon we have 3 years to get it right. If we do, we have a chance. But if ENIC manage the coming 3 years with the same level of competence as the 3 years past, we are totally fecked. Probably permanently.

 

To be blunt, the fact that Chelsea and The Sheikh Mansour Team exploited a global pandemic to spend while other teams' finances were hobbled probably sets us and a few other teams a year or two in that regard already

 

I'm in the school of thought that doesn't even give us 3 years for Newcastle to break into the CL places.
I will not be surprised if it is already next year.
There are enough teams with some decent players who need money. Pogba, Dybala , Coutinho could all be at Tyneside next year.
Throw in a Cavani and possibly Kane ( wash my mouth out ) and they are on the way.

Does anyone seriously think that given the opportunity , Pep would turn down the chance to manage there. He's leaving City and he would 'love' to take on the project of building a 'new team'.

 

This should be on the No S*** Sherlock thread.

 

Judging by his fragile ego, Fraudiola no doubt wants to go back to Barca and "save" them

Aided in no small part by the £90m some nouveau riche relegation fodder from Tyneside paid them for Coutinho in January

 

I give it 4 years expected.
If not done then declare their owners as football morons.
