It's disgraceful that the English and European football authorities are allowing this investment. If I were a Geordie I would never be back to St James's Park. Newcastle United have sold their soul to the devil. I take it you don't live in the UK?

Niemi’s gloves Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58921000 interesting piece from the BBC web site on the thoughts of Mike Rigg, technical director of Man City during their transformation, on how Newcastle might or might not be able to follow suit in becoming a global force. One or two bits in it are sort of relevant to what any club in Scotland wanting to build a challenge to the OF would have to do. With rose tinted specs on, you might even think that we have being going along the right path in recent months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hagar the Horrible Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 There are about 13 games before the transfer window opens, by then they could be cemented to the drop. How then are they going to attract these superstars in a relegation battle rather that a league challenge. Even if they avoid relegation its goint to be 2/3 seasons before Champions league football. But If you are a superstar you are going to go to a club thats guaranteed it. Piggy back on other mugs efforts. Man City did it the right way, but they were not a basket case to begin with. Its a chicken and egg situation. Shearer, Ant and Dec, Terry and Bob, Sharon and Tracy...your Toon is gang doon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Surprised you aren't arguing that for that actually; thought the desire for equality of opportunity was a large part of the point.
