Yep. The MGW thing should have given them a kick up the arse. It should have been a fuck you moment of ok, we'll just go and sign a better player then and do what it takes to get Eze. They are so meek, wet and dithering. It looks like all eggs were in that basket, they expected it to go through and they now come across like they have had their lunch money stolen.

It's when they post "highlights" on Facebook when we lost appalling matches week after week that makes me wonder.
Wonder if they even know what football is.
You're right, we could end up with Manure's owners, but equally, we can't stay where we are. Standing still is going backwards. We're going to have to roll that dice.
I do get the optics aren’t great, but I also get that I don’t know how conversation flows within the team. Maybe Frank likes having Lange around so they can chat new players and strategies over a coffee, or on the side of the training pitch. This in person contact is maybe more important than in person contact with other clubs or players that aren’t ours yet. Fuck knows why he’s there, but I have to assume there’s a good reason.
Phones. Internet. They have them there, you know...
If that's the rationale, then it's fucked up. They can they can chat new players and strategies over the phone. Surely, face to face is more important when making deals and convincing potential acquisitions on the project?
If we go into the start of the season signing one player as European champions it's beyond a disgrace. The fans need to make a stance like nothing we seen before we finished 17th for god sake.
This is you when Fabrizio Romano posts a tweet

Willing to make a bet with anyone, we don’t make a senior signing during the tour.
We didn’t last time, we won’t this time.
Fuck me we are having such a shite transfer window we're having a COVID cunt off in the Transfer thread. In 2025.
Good god.
Good god.
Hate when people have to outright lie to prove their point.
It’s because he doesn’t have a point.
I think Frank is saying... look, I'm going this way... there is the exit so can you just FUCK OFF!!! <<small pause>> Oh great, you're still fucking following me!!!

Don’t know who this is, but the point stands;
Pay wages, get players.
Big clubs sign big players on big wages
Oversimplified but pretty much proven time and time again
Newcastle have the added problem that no one wants to be in Newcastle.
From a finance perspective Newcastle are the richest club in the world but are PSR fucked, we just have no investors or owners with any money but have great PSR.
Maybe it is. We don’t know. I’m possibly remembering, with rose tinted glasses, the talk of “Big Ange called me and convinced me to come” talk from previous windows. Maybe Frank requested Lange come on the trip?
I do know that in my business, if one of the most important members of my team wants to travel somewhere, he’d better have a fucking good reason and not just be going for a jolly. Doubt we operate differently to that. Is there a world where the famously tight arsed Levy says to Lange “aye, just come along - we’ll have a few drinks and a bit of a laugh, don’t be worrying about the day job”.
Whereas Chelsea would just slip her some rohypnol and tie her down to a 10 year deal.
We have everything going for us, premier league, champions league, London, stadium, training facilities, PSR wiggle room, the lowest wage to turnover in the prem. We are just choosing to act this way.
Newcastle are stiffed because of PSR and being in Newcastle.
Only yesterday I wrote the CL thing is a myth. Long since been the case. Only idiots think it matters.
I'm unimpressed by our activity so far and whilst I think our squad is decent, it's nowhere near good enough to provide expectation of glory.
It's not just money that players want. I think some of any desire to join a club is a sense of direction of travel and intention.
Frank will have to undo some of the perception, but needs better resources to bring that about.
