Tony Mowbray opens mouth and confirms he is an idiot.

Newcastle are a soap opera and have a structure like a house of cards. The OF are already the same size as Newcastle with a fraction of the income.

 

As WS says, we could be potentially a top 5 club after a few seasons.

The man is an idiot. The only place Newcastle are a big club is in their fans heads. The reason they can attract better players than us is due to Sky tv money and playing in the Premiership. And even in spite of that, due to our pulling power we actuallu compete better than perhaps we should in terms of attracting and recruiting players. If it was just about the money we would not have signed any of the decent players we have in recent years. So if you put us on a level playing field, in financial terms, with the EPL clubs I don't see how you could argue that we could not attract a higher standard of player and after a few years be very competitive in the league. Certainly more competitive than that huge club Newcastle are right now.

I have to agree with him. We'd struggle in the Championship nevermind the EPL.

Cant agree with that Gav. Ok the Championship is a good league and most of the sides in that division would beat the 10 other SPL sides, but I cant believe the likes of West Brom, Middlesboro, Hull, Portsmouth and Bolton are better than Rangers and Celtic.

 

Plus Newcastle are linked with half of our players every summer and January window.

 

I think we would be 3 or 4 players (and maybe a new manager) away from being a comfortable top 10 side.

I can't see how the tactics employed by our current management regime, home and away will bring us any success in England.
