How Will Almiron Fair In The Newcastle Revolution?(Poll)
-
I've seen this happen so many times. A significant development at a club and player rises everywhere. Id be interested to see how people view one of Newcastle's better player with this exciting change of ownership.
-
The jury is so far out with this fella imo that I can't even vote. One week I'm calling him worse than owt and the next I'm thinking what a great game he had...Suppose if he'd scored a load of goals he'd be a world beater?
-
They won't have a massive budget, can't spend more that bring in, books still need to be balanced, they will struggle getting players up there to
-
@MUFC All you need is a world record deal for the stadiums naming rights and bang you've got a transfer budget. I thought that's what all the wealthy teams do.
-
I'm not getting a good vibe about almiron. I thought there might be some Geordie feel good factor.
-
I wouldn’t bet on Newcastle making any massive signings will take a year or two to build attraction
-
ASM is the player probably best placed to rise after a takeover, has been rising steadily since this broke last week.
-
They can spend a fair bit. They’ve not made losses recently and (perhaps ironically) Ashley has them in a great position for a new buyer for ffp.
Their commercial revenue can shoot up as well, even without dodgy world record deals. Most basic example, their shirt deal is relatively low and could jump 20m this summer without any questions being asked, as would still be lower than most the big six for commercials. Both sponsor and kit are up for renewal I think.
That’s without official tyre sponsors and all that creative stuff that I swear never existed a few years ago. Their commercial revenue has been seen as a massive failure for a long time so loads of room to plough in cash that way without anything the league will take exception to.
Doubt they’ll rename the ground anytime soon though, maybe the training grounds and such like.
On Almiron, given the sheer lack of attackers at the club, even if they did spend big on a couple of forwards, him and ASM will be around the first xi

Well Man City managed it, and I don't think they were near as attractive as Newcastle. Money talks.
For the joke they've been in recent years, Newcastle are an incredibly impressive club with a passionate fanbase. Any player being taken to a match day at St James will probably be blown away.

The takeover deal is no way over the line yet. The would-be buyers of Newcastle have been accused of pirating free Premium League games for Saudi Arabia, with the backing of the Saudi government. That accusation has be around for a few years: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/bein-sports-urges-premier-league-to-block-newcastle-united-takeover-–-reports/ar-BB131J5z

@kristiang85 just for the pure fact that in the owners and directors meeting they are due with the fa they’ve put in for 200m for transfers and club improvements including youth facitlity and and training arena I’m sure you could knock off 50m for improvements needed/wanted , probly going to have a budget of 130m

£130m will likely buy about 3x as much as it would have done a year ago in terms of players, to be honest.

The Newcastle takeover will be interesting to see what happens for sure. With Almiron - I think he needs the right manager to develop him, same with ASM. The kids have undoubtedly got bags of potential and if a figure like Potch were to go there - now that would be interesting. Again depending if and how much Newcastle spent - good additions around them would do no harm
-
The last few games where Almiron has been moved to his suited position of no. 10 he has been absolute class .. check the reviews after the games... here's what bruce said https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-miguel-almiron-position-17875180.amp
