      @@pedropierre9594 Chelsea and City don't outspend the likes of United and when they do it isn't by much. That's why they can somewhat get away with it. The league doesn't step in because united don't feel like they are in a position to fully throw their toys out of the pram. If Newcastle start spending to a point that united can't financially compete then they will start complaining about it. That forces the PL to intervene cause once the naturally richest club in the league starts complaining then everyone else and the fans follow suit and the PL is looking at a superleague level backlash from the footballing community. That's why Newcastle will only spend around the same amount as city, United and Chelsea cause they know they can't push it much further without major backlash

    I don’t like the guy but I actually think he’s done a good job at Newcastle in spite of limited resources. Tonnes of teams like Sheffield United have way richer foreign owners yet can’t stay in the prem, yet Newcastle have done it for some time now. I can understand fans wanting a really wealthy foreign owner to compete with the Man Cities etc but it’s actually refreshing to see a club being resourceful and still managing to maintain their prem status.

Nowadays clubs can only spend what they earn. Newcastle will presumably get a new fat sponsorship deal with Aramco or something, but after that, what can they do? All that happens now is they either cheat and get caught in a few years time, or they start spending modestly, slowly working up to the heights of City and PSG.

    I never understood their problem with him! He did nothing wrong and was pragmatic with the funds! What more did they want??

      A trophy, a title, hope, ambition, a future, I mean what is the point of buying a football club if all you’re gonna do is stand there and say “ you see that, that lump of concrete and grass, I OWN that “ if you’re gonna go into the football business be aware VERY aware that if you want to be successful you are going to have to spend BIG money, don’t do it cause you want a new toy ! And that my friend is the MISTAKE that Ashley made.

    Well if you focus more on academy and local talent, you'd cement yourself in the Premier League pretty well

    I think most people misunderstand this concept. Net worth is very different from liquidity. High illiquid net worth is like having money that no one will accept. It doesnt do you much good. Like he put it, its like wall paper.

    This same point still applies to the new owners too. Unless all that worth is in a spendable form, it's meaningless
