Yeah it's awful to see tbh as a fan.
I don’t mind if we take it to the flag and manage it.
But the stopping of play is just awful.
And pope can pack it in with the Pickford cosplay.

Newcastle's net spend in 2022 has been the highest out of all premier league clubs.
Hah wasn't as bad as the Liverpool game tho.
Soldato
What is it over the past 5 years out of interest. The teams been devoid of investment for quite some time

What's you point? You really wanna argue about spending looking at United's over the last 5 years?
Isak on 130k I think he became our highest earner.
I do think Bruno been offered a bumper contract to keep Real Madrid at bay
Interesting. Just had a look there. £10 million more than Chelsea and £14 million more than Man U.
I wouldn't say our squad was that close to either of those two before spending.
Yeah but you had a season of spunking nearly 800k a week on 2 players.Pogba is costing us nothing and whatever Ronaldo is costing us is too much.
So don’t cry like man united are at some disadvantage in spending
happy to stand corrected.
The point is we don't pay astronomical wages for players, which never gets factored in when people discuss the squad costs.

What has Manchester United got anything to do with Newcastle having the highest net spend in the year 2022 and suddenly they are doing fantastic in the league?
Eddie Howe and having no Europe definitely helps their cause but cash injection is always the most important. Just look at Liverpool and Spurs. I would wish as a United fan to have the capital that both City and Newcastle have. Enjoy it but don't try and justify Newcastle's new found form as being something magical.
My point is solid investment can do wonders to a football club in such a short time. Everyone said it would take years for Newcastle to get up like City but the difference is Newcastle are a big club and City are not. I said before they would get Europe this season.

Hopefully in Jan we can sort the depth, and keep both Wilson and Isak fit.
Yes, the money has helped immensely.
I think there's been a little bit of the message rubbing the wrong way, where we (nufc fans) are being told we're buying the league.
The large investment this year has only been required thanks to the lack of investment in the many years prior. Going forward I doubt we'll spend anywhere near as much per window, then fall into the pattern of spending of other PL teams.
The fans are pointing out that there are a number of players in key roles where are now performing much better under Howe (and we could see that in the stats of last season) than under the previous incompetence, and are trying to acknowledge that the manger is playing a key role.
Give the 200+ mil to Bruce and we'd still be relegation fodder.
