Why do some think this is a good thing?

I'm honestly interested. Newcastle didn't seem to do a whole lot last season. 🤷🏻‍♂️
I think its a shit thing, Saudis have a very short period of interest and then move on!

I want those who invest in the club to love the club.

Would you want the job of deciding who is definitely going to be successful enough to justify a transfer of tens of millions and a salary of almost £100m over a five year period? That would melt my brain.

The only way that you can make decisions like that is to know you’ve a squad full of similar players, so if anyone fails, the effect is less. We aren’t anywhere near that and it’ll be years before we can be.

Players are definitely paid too much. My season ticket shouldn’t cost a grand. They’re taking money out of people’s hard earned pockets.
I saw some stats a couple of weeks ago, where they compared ticket prices by league!

And damned if I can´t find it now(maybe someone can dig it up?). But the PL was by far the most expensive league to watch in world football.

Now I don´t remember what league came second(it must have been one of Serie A, La Liga, or Bundesliga), but the PL was more than double as expensive to watch than the league that came second.

So basically, all PL clubs could cut their ticket prices in half, and still be the most expensive league in the world to watch, and that is fucking sickening!

And everything goes down the players pockets with insane wages. And in the process making it almost impossible to get rid of the dross, because other leagues can´t come even close to matching their wages!

So something must- and probably will change in English football, now that the rest of Europes clubs have problems with their economies.

Are we finally seeing FFP coming into play as it was meant to be??? If so, I think we will benefit from it.

This is where the football regulator needs to come in. Their first port of call should be to put a limit on ticket prices.

That's a bit melodramatic Bill. And a tad disingenuous...Any fans who abused her like you suggest are probably the same fans that would prefer to stick with ENIC and have Daniel Levy posters on their walls.

They went from Steve Bruce relegation fodder, to qualifying for the CL in their first full season.
They signed Isak, Guimeres, Tonali, Botman, Gordon, Barnes and Liveremento for a couple of hundred mil.

Last season they made our defacto excuse of "ooh we had a few injury winjeries" look like nothing in comparison and they still battered us and finished a whopping 2 places below us. That despite having 6 games in the Champions League and getting to the quarters in both domestic cups.

And from where they were under Ashley in less than 2 years.

It took ENIC what, 11 years to finally nail a CL place? And that was with less domestic competition for a CL than there is now.
 
This is where the football regulator needs to come in. Their first port of call should be to put a limit on ticket prices.
Remember when the Covid 19 regulations were being lifted and a limited number of fans were allowed in to each clubs final home match of the season.
19 clubs either let their fans in for free or massively reduced ticket prices by 50% or more as a goodwill gesture to their long suffering fans.

One club charged full price and put the fans up in the Gods to maximise advertising revenue.

Guess which one?
