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.

He can and does for them.

I’m not convinced he solves any of our major problems though. Good player but not a deep lying passer and not really a lock picking 10

Our major problem is we dont have any good forward passers who can play in the double-pivot role. Maddison and Kulu are fine in the 10s.

Without a good 8/6 passer, we're gonna be watching a lot of games like the friendly we played vs Luton

They aren't doing absolutely everything they could with their riches even right now, both off the field and on, and this Isak thing is a devastating blow to the credibility of the project.

I think there are serious questions about how committed the Saudis actually are to that club, which should be getting more coverage than it has.

PIF do seem to be having fun with their Saudi Pro League, maybe they're just more interested in that than fat topless horse punchers.

FFP/PSR wasn't a thing when City were formed in 2008. Their prior owners were bent Thai billionaires too IIRC.
They turned up on transfer deadline day incredibly. They immediately tried to hijack United's deal for Berbatov, failed and then spent £30m on Robinho. In 2008. Also spent £18m on Jo that window but he was already there I think.
In 09/10 they went even more mental and got Barry, Santa Cruz, Tevez, Kolo Toure, Adebeyor and Lescott for around £120m in total. In 2009.

City spent heavily in the first few years to improve as rapidly as possible. I don't know if they knew FFP/PSR was coming but they were un-hindered until FFP came about in the 11/12 season. PSR was 13/14
They won their first PL title in 11/12 so were already a force by the time it had kicked in.

Newcastle could need 10+ years to actually benefit from being the richest club in the world. They will need to, IMO, build a new stadium with vastly inflated ticket prices and premium facilities, get a record breaking naming deal, shirt sponsors, qualify for the CL in most seasons, win a few more cups and only then will they be able to start spending extravagantly.

Or, more likely, they'll just say fuck it and do it anyway. City will get off with a fine and, when they do, the rich clubs will go mental and buy everyone.

Have you been to newcastle? it's too far away from the south to get much corporate money (what companies would be fighting to get a box at a new st james' park?) plus newcastle is too far away from anything to get money from casual fans or increase their stadium going fanbase
