Virtual reality 860 Posted April 23, 2022 No point in being back here again under the current ownership. It’s been tried, failed and humiliated now too many times 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Green Army 248 Posted April 23, 2022 No point in us being in the premiership with this setup/ownership. Been there multiple times and failed miserably each time. Not even close to making a success of it. The self sustaining model is a wonderful idea but in reality doesn’t work when competing with the wealthiest. Money talks in football I’m afraid, it buys that extra bit of quality that we just don’t have. We will not bounce back so easy next time and I fear we may see Championship mediocrity for some time. Went into battle with an unloaded gun again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GodlyOtsemobor 2,830 Posted April 23, 2022 If we finish in a promotion place next season maybe we can just take the money but refuse the promotion and just play another season in the champs for another trophy 😉 😂 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paint Me Yellow 200 Posted April 23, 2022 Honestly will be disappointed to finish higher than 7th next year. Enough is enough. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazzaJet 267 Posted April 23, 2022 In my opinion it’s not the ownership that’s to blame for our poor performance, it’s solely down to money wrecking the game - no one was moaning about Delia when we got promoted under Lambert were they? What I would love is for UEFA to change the rules and make all teams in the European top flight leagues self-funded or have a maximum annual expenditure of about £100m (including wages). I’m not keen on the 51% fan majority as we’ve seen the only team that’s benefited from that rule in the Bundesliga is Bayern Munich 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBaldOne66 768 Posted April 23, 2022 Rubbish! It’s funny how the likes of Brentford survived isn’t it? Nothing to do with the EPL at all, it’s about owners who are past their sell by date! How many other clubs have 80 year old owners, who are happy for a Sporting Director to devote 90% to a job? NONE 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 547 Posted April 23, 2022 When you have a club run by National League standard owners any expectation of a quick return to the EPL is fantasy land thinking. Pleading with Webber to stay when he’s spending his time more concerned with non-football interests shows how deluded our owners are. The positive is that we should avoid a relegation battle next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 957 Posted April 23, 2022 Even though we were promised that lessons had been learned from last time, and that things would be different this time, the bottom line is, as we keep on a proving, you can't make a silk purse out of a pigs ear.

Little Old Norwich syndrome strikes again 🙈 He's correct though isnt he. They don't run the club badly, they want it to succeed, they have put their money and effort in. They are far from incompetent. On a relatively level playing field financially, Norwich would do well under the current owners.What they don't have is the money to compete with the globe's billionaires. That doesn't make them terrible and it's a shame that a person living locally and who cares deeply for the club can't make it work in the top division because the premier league is essentially a collection of 'super yachts' for the worlds richest to parade around with. Now I might welcome new ownership that could help us compete in the premier league. I would like us to be owned by someone with more money as it's clear it's the only option in this day and age. However the vitriol they receive on here is just ridiculous. It's just a load of frustrated, angry men taking it out on two genuinely well meaning people because they feel a sense of humiliation at losing to teams funded by, in quite a few cases, a load of shady money. For **** sake, we got beaten today by the combined oil wealth of the Saudi state, I find that sad but not embarrassing in the slightest. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No point even bothering to get wound up about it now tbh. I’m surprised 27k people can be arsed turning up anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdncfc 28 Posted April 23, 2022 If you're competetive the Prem is excellent, problem is we're not and under the current owners we never will be. Don't like where Newcastles money has come from but once again it proves that money is king at this level, they would almost certainly have gone down without it.
