    Seeing that it’s went to a tribunal about how it was stopped and accusing other clubs of stopping it and influencing the league about it.

    If that’s found true, think it could be a major, major thing to curtail English football. Got the potential for far more oversight to be brought in on the clubs.

    Look at Barca and Real just now that La Liga’s done it. Could be one of the biggest things to happen, if found true. Which looks obvious to me that it is.

    Not the point mate, the other clubs looked scared of it happening and put a stop to it, allegedly.

    If that’s proven there’s no way a lot more oversight won’t come into play, and usually with that comes a whole draft of different changes.

    I thought the owners were loaded? Now people are saying they can't afford a good manager?

    Always liked Newcastle, proper working class city.

    They’ll probably become arrogant * that have forgotten their auld * quite sharply but at least they have real fans and will fill their stadium every week unlike City.

    With the clubs trying to stop it, and the rumoured scrapping of FFP then the spending from them could be wild pretty soon.


    Imagine they’ll end up with either a mew stadium or an extension to St James’ Park for about 80k.

    Thy tried to buy the Premier league in the 90s, I bet they'll * that up again. To be honest football will be * by Saudis buying clubs, ruins football. If they are struggling come January they will start chucking money at that team.

    Always had a healthy loathing for Newcastle United and this will only accentuate my hatred even more.

    Shower of * and I loved watching their * fans greeting every time they * up during the head to head with Man Utd back in the day.

    Would rather spend a weekend in Mogadishu than Newcastle.

    Don’t really have any feelings towards them as a club, not a fan but don’t hate them (some of there ex players I hate) too young to remember them as a decent team although I loved Shay Given. Glad to see Mike Ashley gone, but don’t want to see them become a Man City.

    Surprised at the hatred for Newcastle tbh. Their fans have been shafted for years now.

    Mental going from Ashley to being the richest club, by a distance, in the league. The vast majority of their fans must be in dreamland.

    I find the way their fans are all celebrating this quite depressing…. Ashley may be gone but was inevitable eventually anyway. English football gradually being taken over by middle-east oil states and assorted oligarchs is taking the game to where it should never be…. Then there’s the US based sports consortiums and owners - (even affecting Scottish clubs now) - it’s ruining the sport and stupid gullible fans desperate for success at any cost can’t see it.

    What happens once they are all owned by multi billion £££ foreign investment groups ?
