Not saying for a second the teams mentioned don’t spend big but they have the history to match and a worldwide following. The toon don’t. They’re an Everton, an Aston vIlla. Celtic are a much bigger club but play in the wrong country imo. Was all I meant. You're right in that way, but I think they could be, they've got a strong, distinct brand, much stronger than the Everton's or Villas IMO.

A large fanbase, loyal as anything and desperate for a bit of success. Chelsea had only ever won 1 league title before the 2000s, they've won leagues, domestic cups, european trophies since. Newcastle have won 4 league titles. In 1999 when Keegan and Ferguson were battling it out for the league Newcastle were the 5th highest earning club on the planet. I honestly can't think of many clubs with more potential. Keegan left Newcastle in 97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of what you've said above can be aimed at Chelsea & Man City who are now talked about as world wide brands, they shouldn't be, they are rich clubs, they were not big clubs...If Newcastle get anywhere near the investment those two have had then they will be bigger than both of those two (imo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams that were never great and money falsely inflated them. Remove the cash and they sink back to where they were before the huge injections of cash. Newcastle it’s long been said aren’t in the right region. Players see further south and the London clubs as more desirable. They’ve long had that issue.

Guest ToqueJambo Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Tierney is a good player but he was vastly overhyped simply because of who he played for, while Andy Robertson was largely overlooked while in Scotland. His attitude around playing for Scotland showed the hype had gone to his head. I think he genuinely believed he was better than Robertson. If Hickey pushes on Tierney could become 3rd choice LB for Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you manage to have a generation of reasonable success, whereby fathers pass their support on to their son then clubs like Chelsea and City could become established big clubs. Prior to the the rich owners you would never have seen a kid in Scotland or an adult in China wearing one of their tops... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a weird way, the massive increase in Sky money was bad for Newcastle as it allowed clubs like Palace and Fulham to match offers for players that Newcastle were trying to sign. A number of them decided that lifestyle i.e. living in London and having easy transport links to home was more important than playing for a bigger club as the money was now the same and neither club were challenging for the Champion's League.
