The absolute, A-B-S-O-F-U-C-K-I-N-G-L-U-T-E state of this fucking club.

I am so fucking absolutely FUCKING sick of it.

Fucking, fucking hell.

That bald mthrfkng CUNT is a sadistic, sociopathic goblin troll.

Impossible to detest him enough.

Impossible.

He's a fucking curse.

Whilst the sponsorship is a bit cringe (I'm a cat lover), you're not saying we should have turned down the £6.8m are you?

My recollection is somewhat different. He came into the side due to the injury to Udogie, Was a breath of fresh air, A lot of us were like "woah who the fuck is this guy" He was literally our best player for 3-4 games.Then went off the boil for a few games, then Udogie came back.

Spence came in fresh to a squad on life-support. He stood out mostly because he wasn't beaten into the ground like the rest.

Not that i don't think he's a good player, but that's why as he played more, he blended in more with the rest.

Another reason Ange had to go. The squad rotation was brutal.

No, he doesn't. That is plain knee-jerk. We need to buy quality players in the areas that Frank has identified need strengthening. A team doesn't get better by management trying to "appease" a handful of disgruntled fans.

Well it does depending on who you buy!
I'd also question that its just a handful of disgruntled fans?
I understand the now comments around MGW, the typical, "yeah, well didn't really rate him that much anyway" Type of fan who is trying to save face.
Also interesting you don't view Eze as a quality EPL player?

Well we're not interested in signing anyone.

We've added one player to the first team squad... Tokai is likely out for weeks or months already.

We spent a pile of money... to retain substandard nobodies who couldn't lift this exact group of players beyond 17th last year, and stood more to be coverage for an injury crisis

We need a left back, attacking players, no 6... I mean, you could say almost any position is below the standard we say we are and needing the incumbent starter replaced beyond the center backs

The squad we're rolling out on the showcase tour will finish 12th-15th in all probability if it isn't improved.

There is no sense in which it has the depth or quality for CL football, we'll be thumped out of the group stage like some nameless club from the Faroe Islands as things stand

It's a sad state of affairs

Exactly. If they have problems, it's clearly not something an arab state takeover can solve

It's weird, that Saudi backing just isn't filling the credibility gap between Newcastle and the global elite in the way that felt seamless for Man City who, how easily we forget, were once a byword for "shitty Northern banter club".

PSR is a big factor certainly, the early years of the Sheikhs at City they just lit money on fire in stupid deal after stupid deal, but the Saudis aren't even spending up to the ceiling and with this Isak thing it's obvious that they don't even have the full belief within their own building.

It's hard to build a winner and even with all their riches it's in some ways not that weird to see them struggling. What I find really inexplicable though is the seeming lack of sense of urgency.

Most of the PL owners are billionaires now. That whole era is generally over where people pump cash in relentlessly.

Even clubs that have spent a ton, like Villa, haven't done it on someone else's dime - it's debt around their necks.

I wouldn't have thought PIF would have built a club that is kind of a mix of the Burnley and Bournemouth teams of that era, but here we are!
