@ScottGShore If PIF have any real ambition to take us to the next level, we need to make a change ! Eddie has hit his ceiling and that's alright but letting it stagnate is down to the owners

[The Swedish Rumble 🔰 @SwedishRumble]

This is a curse that really really benefits the top spending clubs like City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.

“You had 700m to spend” — is stated like it’s a lot? Yeah, go a head and fire Howe, it’s all his fault.

🔺His player wage bill is around £160-180m, it’s not miles of United and Tottenham at £170-180m. But it’s basically half of Liverpool, City and Chelsea’s wage bill of £300m.

Newcastle can’t give players like Donnarumma, Semenyo, Guehi and the likes £400-500k like those clubs.

🔺People bring up “net transfer spend” and other misleading stats. Indisputable facts are that Liverpool, City and co spend £140-160m MORE on wages than United, Tottenham, Newcastle and Villa — every single season. This is excluding agent fees and sign-on fees.

🔺What is £700m? It’s a joke to think you can build a top team for £700m in the PL.

Chelsea spent £902m during 22/23 alone.

🔺But they wasted money on Elanga, Wizza and the likes? Everyone wastes money. Liverpool, City, Real, Barca, Bayern.

Any budget must allow for at the very very least 1/3 signing being complete busts.

👉My analysis of Newcastle is very simple. They are over-performing tremendously because they got a completely ferocious inner-mid with Guimares, Tonali and Joelinton. This allows them to (a) compete in games even if they don’t play up from the back, which literary is cost saving because you must not have top quality at GK and CB, (b) they can also pack more physical ability at those positions, like Dan Burns and co.

Guimares is a top 5 signing in the PL the last 10 years.

But — it’s not enough when you play in Europe which means two games a week from September to March. Hence, they will be an every other year team.

But quite rapidly — the ability to spend will increase. What stands out though, more than anything, is that Newcastle aren’t even remotely receiving the same support as City did — to build up like a factory to enable to PL club. Owners can give interest free loans — yet Newcastle is paying £12m in interest payments per year. They have no farm team. Any investments in the academy is excluded from FFP. Newcastle doesn’t have a top academy. Etc etc etc.

Newcastle had to start Karius in a cup final because Dubravka was cup tied, but Man City get to play Semenyo, despite him playing for Bournemouth in the Carabao this season.

Seems totally fair.

[Footy Accumulators @FootyAccums]

Newcastle are playing against FC Barcelona in the Champions League tonight and the bookies have them as (slight) favourites to win the match. ⚫️⚪️

What an incredible job Eddie Howe has done! 🤯

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

On the “Civil Wor” at Newcastle, maybe if Liverpool had acted earlier and offered a proper fee for Alexander Isak, a world-class centre-forward with three years left on his contract, Newcastle would have had time and funds to bring in a suitable replacement. £110m was disrespectful to Newcastle (and Isak). And who are Newcastle going to get at this late stage of the window with suitable targets moved elsewhere? Yoane Wissa is not like for like. Newcastle need two anyway with Callum Wilson gone. It’s very easy to see why Newcastle and their proud, tough owners who don't like losing - or losing face - are playing hard-ball and determined to keep Isak. The saga continues. #NUFC #LFC

@markgoldbridge Not being able to put the ball in the back of the net is what cost you today

[Pitch Side @PitchSideTweets]

A passionate message from @Tgarratt10 to the Newcastle owners over Alexander Isak!

[Toon Polls @ToonPolls]

We are competing against a literal paid campaign for Frank Lampard here.

It is 50/50 in the votes.

Keep doing your bit and RT #NUFC fans.

Above all else, Shearer is the far superior player to Lampard anyway!

[Toon Polls @ToonPolls]

I’ve literally never seen anything like this before 😂😂😂

Someone is literally paying multiple accounts (just 4 examples here) to get Lampard to win this whole competition.

So far we have them at 50/50.

Even if you’re not #NUFC fan, RT to waste this guy’s money.
