Football needs to get a grip, fans are just too fickle. What’s the point anymore? What is there to achieve if you’re not bankrolled with unlimited money? Part of me wishes they did make the super league a closed shop and give us back the game we enjoyed. As far as Newcastle fans go some of them are already unbearable on social media giving it the ‘no club deserves it more than us’ line. I hope it goes balls up myself. The rise of finances in football was inevitable. It’s the most popular sport in the world. We’re in a different world to the 1980s economically Edited October 7, 2021 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I’m ok with it. Puts the cat amongst the pigeons for the top 6 clubs. The good thing for Newcastle fans is they’ll get some success… hopefully they can still afford to get tickets if prices increase. The bad thing is people will start to dislike them like PSG etc and all the other stuff that comes with being bankrolled to that extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southie_Owl Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Can see Conte being the next boss at Newcastle. Eddie Howe is an early favourite with bookies but think the new owners will be aiming for a bigger name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl Be Back Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Yep. Effectively bought out by a country that engages in terrorism, assassinates journalists and political opponents and treats women appallingly; and the f*ckwit fans are cheering in the street. ... just waiting for my mothership to come get me; sick of this f*cking planet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otley Owl Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I'm sure there'll be loads to read about this takeover, but I really enjoyed this. Newcastle have been on a bit of a rollercoaster it seems. Lived in Sunderland for a while when I was younger, always enjoyed the rivalry between 2 proper football clubs. And Newcastle's away end is amazing, probably my favourite football ground after Hillsborough. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/oct/07/mike-ashley-from-newcastle-hero-to-hate-figure-in-14-eventful-years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DobbinTheDonkey Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 The hypocrisy of writing about Saudi Arabia human rights record on Chinese made tech. However people are always able to conveniently forget what goes on in other places as long as it doesn't affect them. The Geordies will be able to do it easily, like most would. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
