RamNut Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 The sooner this gets done the better. clearly Mel has no desire to prolong his stewardship. We just have to go with the flow. He has given it 100%. His development of the academy will be the positive legacy. the financial problems and loss of the stadium is a negative legacy. How this takeover changes the ffp position would be interesting to know. ultimately the first team has suffered and we are nowhere near the level we were at when he took over, but it is what is. It’s been a rollercoaster ride. the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I personally hope that we keep faith with the plan to maximise the development of academy players, and don’t go off on another silly spending spree but we do need to find wriggle room for some further investment in the team. Hopefully we can continue to build a new and exciting young team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness if the last window was any evidence we have moved forward in that regard but I do wonder how much of that was a symptom of manager having been here for a season and had time to properly identify targets.

I’m sure that Mel wouldn’t just hand us over to old shyster, despite the need to get out! I’ve been looking through a few articles and it seems the bid for Newcastle was partly funded by borrowing from an American firm, basically trying to buy it the same way the glazers did with United but on a lesser scale. Lets pray he’s found the best person to sell to, he’s had 6/7 chances at finding a good manager none of which have worked out let’s hope he’s got this one right.

Yes agreed though I was more alluding to the value for money aspect of our transfer dealings over the previous few seasons where the money shelled out or contract length issued comparitive to the players realised performances have been very poor.

If it's weeks/months our club is left in limbo. For the good it needs to be sorted out sooner rather than later. It's already official and will be completed within the next few days.

Oh absolutely, before this season there a numerous examples of really silly decisions. Even some of the players that turned out ok we vastly overpayed for e.g. Johnson and Vydra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
