Newcastle United

[wiw]

Their sovereign wealth fund is supposed to make City’s owners look like paupers.....just what we need

It's criminal that we've allowed this to happen, but what do you expect when the governing bodies are corrupt

[fabinho]

They'll go all out for Salah to make a statement I think.

Brace yourselves...

Could this be the tipping point for FSG to bow out, or will it be a case of making the EPL the biggest league by far, therefore increasing the value of teams in the league?

[Fivex]

They can give us £500m for Mane & Ox

[Angryred]

Then Bruce won't be around for long but will get a nice pay off. So which manager they will go for?... Conte is available & his track record is good but he will have to build the club & squad so gonna need 2-3 years before any semblance of a decent squad like City / Chelsea.

[Fivex]

Curveball, but wouldn't rule out someone like Gerrard going there tbh.

Pretty low risk for both parties considering the budget they'd give & they'll probably need to go through a transition period anyway like Citeh did with the Shinawatra signings where they throw money about incoherently until some of them start to stick.

Not sure the highest calibre managers would want to get the ball rolling on the first stage of a 5-10year rebuild project. 2nd stage, yeah someone like Conte could come in when a quality squad is in place & make it his own with a few extra world class signings.

Rafa is 16/1 and I'm surprised he's so big. Fans love him, proven winner, decent first 'stepping stone' manager. Be funny as **** if they took him off Everton already.

[Fivex]

You'd think Steve Bruce would need to go in the opposite direction to balance that particular universe

[Shaggy]

I've had a little go at 16s.

[baitman]

Bodgers, guaranteed

[Norbs]

It'll be a chequebook manager surely I can't see past

Guardiola
Mourinho or
Conte

[frank the tank]

Zidane perhaps????

He could say in his presser that it is the same jersey as Juventus.....

[Bender]

think Jose would relish this

[Rafa Justice]

If you're the richest owners in the world, you'd want a box office name. Multiple CL winning Zidane fits that, or Conte. Couldn't see Pep or Klopp going there ever.

Gerrard or Bodge would be a big gamble. When they spend big, which they will, they'll want the best manager they can get spending the money. Staveley might have a good relationship with Rafa but I don't see them sacking Bruce for Rafa. He'd have got time under the new guys if he was already there but not now.

[spud_gun]

It'd be a laugh if they gave Bruce quarter of a billion to spend in the summer.

He'd blow it on Harry McGuire, Eric Dier and Fabian Delph

[Norbs]

I think Guardiola is looking for a new challenge and being able to deny his nemesis for a few more years would be his dream
