This new regime was welcomed with open arms, just like Ashley was. The reason for that welcome is / was money.
Had Ashley sold to a consortium of NE business men, thus removing Ashley, with less expendable capital than Ashley made available would the welcome have been as universal?

As an outsider, yes as far as I am concerned. I don’t get all this faux outrage where you are saying it is only because it is Newcastle. Your brethren need to stop being so precious.

Isak averages a goal every 2.5 games across his career. He's 22 and will only get better.

Plenty of people have heard of him - you only have to watch the Euros, Champions League and La Liga. If you haven't heard of him, that's more your issue than his.

There's some on here who hadn't heard of Kalvin Phillips...

Ross Stewart, just prior to his move to Sunderland, scored 2 in 19 league games for Ross County...

Delighted for you mate, we'll stick with Ross Stewart thanks.

1 goal every 2.5 games for a £60M striker isn't great. Darwin Nunez is a goal every other game for example.

Ross Stewart has scored 31 goals in 60 games for Sunderland. He's a late developer. He played non league in Scotland as a teenager and he signed for a professional club at 20.

You’ve spent the last 5 seasons outside of the premier league, of course you lot have never heard of anyone other than the most recent 11 cloggers turning out in red and white. Whether or not you have heard of a player has absolute no bearing on their quality.

Still got our club though.

Enjoy being a sportswashing vehicle for the Saudis.

Funny thing is you’ve missed the boat to get right to the top by these means by about 10 year and sold your club and all its history and tradition for a few Fa cups at the very best.

So fans of teams not in the Premier have no knowledge of football outside the league their team plays in? What a load of shite!

Just going off their run in from last season as well, definitely getting things right on the pitch. The appointment of Howe has been a masterstroke really very good manager.

Howe is average by premier league standards. Pep, Klopp, Tuchel, Conte etc. aren't exactly quaking in their boots.

Hopefully a nice bad run is just around the corner and then the pressure will be on the manager and the team.
