Have Newcastle United just done what any club could have done with good decision-makers? Did they even need the Saudi money? Send your views to theeditorfootball365.com...
I’ve told most my story here before: how as a graduate student who’d fallen for a Cornish science student in the US, I moved to Bristol on what they called a blue card, permitting me to take a job while I “completed my studies” in 1995. My studies were already complete; the blue card was just a way to follow my girl home. I worked for a temp agency, then for a hospital kitchen and pub.
To give him his due, Ashley didn’t leave NUFC in the worst shape. The squad wasn’t worth much – though those players are likely worth more now – but they hadn’t posted a working loss in so long that the new owners had a free hand with FFP. Which, obviously, they have used well. The success this team has earned this season is astonishing. Eddie Howe could run for President, as far as I’m concerned.
But, while there are perfectly acceptable questions over our ownership, what Newcastle have done in the past 18 months is possible by nearly all Premier League clubs. We started Monday’s game against Leicester with two Academy kids in midfield, a back four with a big money signing and four who were well within the budget of any club in the league. Our wage offers are supposedly not too high either .
And so Newcastle will be a frustration, but also showcase the opportunity for other clubs. Do it right and you can now compete, without dropping a ton of cash. Yes, you may not beat City over 38 games as they are a league above, but we can compete in a one-off game with them. To see all the Geordies bonding together after ridding themselves of the odious figure of Mike Ashley should bring us all a little bit of vicarious pleasure. I am sure there will be many dissenting voices, but I think respect and credit is due here.If City success is hollow then…
