    Oh it has because it can't be done like it used... nobody has done it since.

    I recall villa and Everton fans telling Newcastle fans this takeover will join the long list of owners thst have failed so far to fulfill what it promised and desires.

    Strange because I can remember them saying it would never happen but not that the owners would fail. Is this one of those 99% of statistics are made up type facts?

    I'll simplify it for you because you're very sensitive.

    which billionaire takeover had succeeded in breaking up the top 6 since ffp came in?

    ffp came in 2011 .. City were bought 2008

    Leicester are now ****ed... they can't sustain it because of ffp... having the odd flash in the pan isn't the same

    Ffp is an obstacle

    What happened to "let's just enjoy the good times". Things are good for the club, now and most likely in the foreseeable future.

    Always remember, it could be a lot worse, we could be Mackems.

    Nobody said not too, but I'm pointing out a few home truths.

    I would make a case that the people using mental gymnastics aren't happy with just a club that tries afterall.

    Ffp has so far been a very effective obstacle and unfortunately newcastle won't be any different..... they're the next group to try and break into something nobody has managed to since its creation.

    Hopefully they succeed.

    Strange you would respond that way as opposed to that you did hear them say that.

    And as ScotMag said, Man City. Also Leicester City but they haven’t sustained it. Oh, and Newcastle United. Currently broken in to the top 6 and in a Cup Final for the first time this century.

    I probably am ‘very sensitive’ but that’s what dealing with facts does to you.

    So, these Everton and Villa fans…..<whistle>

    I'm perfectly happy with what we have right now. IF we can further disrupt the big boys then it's all just a big bonus to me, and makes for a good laugh at those crying about us ruining their little clique.

    Of course I WANT silverware and success, every fan does, but in terms of my expectations, things are bloody fantastic right now.

    Man City bought 2008

    Ffp ? 2011

    What's prevented Leicester from staying up there despite a miracle?? Ffp.

    Err, because your post said fans are no longer happy just with a club that tries.

    And I'm saying "Yes I am".

    Does that simplify it enough for you?

    Right so now we've established many city we're bought before ffp and Leicester are not a top 6 club can we move on.

    I know people don't like being wrong, but hey it's OK.

    Guess who was a big player behind ffp coming ?

    Another fact for you Mike Ashley

    Why ? He was happy with the order and worried about losing his position.

    I never said you were using mental gymnastics unless your name is 'the people using mental gymnastics '

    My name change is seeing a large number of tears .. not helping me that's for sure ..

    Where did I said he wasn't allowed?

    Oh wait I didn't.

    What's happened is people didn't know their dates , didn't like my view of ffp and started trying to twist that into be unhappy with the situation.
