Sorry but if you WANT to spend £500 million on players at a club like Newcastle, who the hell are you going to buy? If the player is good enough they will go to one of the top 6 in England, Barca, Real, PSG, Juve or Munich. If they aren't going to be good enough for them you won't catch them with a team full of them will you? It's a bit like saying Real Madrid are worth £3 billion, you might as well buy us then chuck £2 billion in the transfer kitty.
Who did Man City buy when Mansour took over? Players were willing to go there even though they were (at the time) a mid table premier league side. Newcastle would just go for the biggest names they could sign at the time and then grow from there. Same as City did.
Yes a player would prefer to go to the big clubs you've mentioned but it's not always the case that those clubs need that player at that time. Say (for example) a striker becomes available and he's going to be the star of the team at Newcastle, what other sides you've named would need him? He's not going to want to compete with the likes of Suarez, Lewandowski, Salah, Aguero, Kane, Mbappe and Ronaldo is he?
So frustrating that these takeovers happen so quickly yet ours drags on for years
Haven't Newcastle been on the market for years?
The owner there has RDVBD.....Roland Degenerative Valuation Brain Disorder..... he has had Newcastle for sale since 2015 but set the price high enough that no real offers came in until now.
Harsh. I’m just glad that anyone in the know feel able to give us a glimmer of hope. Criticising someone who posts in good faith is imho out of order. Would you prefer we hear nothing ?
To be fair to both Airman & The Red Robin......no-one has said anything of importance. Until someone goes on the record with something then nothing is just about where we are.

Murray and Duchatelet have both gone on the record about the takeover, as has LDT. But has that given you any assurance as to “where we are”?
The silence from the club is deafening, what’s going on, starting to get concerning. If Duchatelet wasn’t running the club I wouldn’t be concerned, but he is .

You - and all of us -have every right to be concerned in my opinion. Does anyone know if there is a press conference today? If so, if what I have been told is correct, I'm not expecting good news.

These days, i'd give about as much credence to a takeover update from Murray as i would a transfer rumour from Acworth.
