Upheaval this summer

[cornish mackem]

That’s the spirit !

African nations was going to knack us apparently. Some if not most of our players won’t progress from the group stages. Which is nice

 

[Turnip from the Tip]

You could quite easily imagine Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea and Spurs being stronger next season. I don’t think Aston a Villa are going anywhere either.

Top 10 with a good run in Europe and one of the cups would be an outstanding achievement for us.

We're doing a Leicester.


(desperate to get on Deluded World of RTG)

We have already done a Leicester (get relegated stright to League One from the PL).

 

[Redandwhitedust]

A lot of our players will be practically without a break 'til Xmas. We'll need to buy sensible to keep our heads above water.

Corrected for you

 

[look out piano]

Huge huge summer for some clubs, hopefully we just quietly add to the squad and push on

Yup, this is what I'm hoping for. A couple of decent signings and no drama, for us just to go about our business and stay classy.

 

[LambethMackem]

Liverpool will be in a bit of a rebuild phase I reckon. A lot of their old timers are going/gone, new manager.

You’d have thought the visitors would have sacked Howe by now if they wanted rid. Delighted.

 

[Black_Cats1879]

Big changes next season

New managers at
City
Chelsea
Liverpool
Bournemouth
Fulham
Palace

Big spending rebuilds at
Man U
Scum
Spurs
Forest? (Who knows)

On top of 3 new promoted clubs

Could be chaos going into next season with the world cup delaying things potentially - I read only 9 managers kept their job out of 20 in the PL last season as well.

Seems madness. Maybe an opportunity for us?

Beheaddie gone by August surely?

 

[Tony Towers Fanclub]

Scharr has signed a contract extension !

At one time Everton we’re part of the big six
Are spurs part of this?

Apparently so. Again. Don’t blame me!

 

[zidanny]

Carrick will spunk lots of money on shite players just like when he was at Boro.

 

[Rokeroar]

Huge huge summer for some clubs, hopefully we just quietly add to the squad and push on

All the “experts” will have us finishing 4th bottom, and we’ll prove them wrong again

Scharr has signed a contract

That tells us all we need to know know about Mag’s plans.
No more “marque signings for them”

 

[Local Lad]

The mags scurrying round to attract the sort of players that will further enhance their continuing demise.

Even better if they try to copy what we done last season and balls it up completely

 

[Boredom]

If the last 4 years have taught us nothing, it’s the value of steady progress over upheaval.

Evolution, not revolution. Patience over petulance.

 

[waddy999]

A great team spirit,leadership and the joint commitment was a key to our success last season.
This must be maintained.
I’m confident it will be. ️

 

[Redandwhitedust]

Tonali will leave & one of Livarmento or Hall imo.

They’ll get big money, but as we saw after they sold Isak - they’re not the best at spending it correctly.

Dont see Livramento going. Loads of talk about him, and being in the England squad will boost profile and price beyond most clubs. Man City rumoured? But if they dont come in, who does?
Mind Barcelona buying Gordon makes no sense so who knows

Hall is a fans favourite, could go but would rile the fans unless they get big money. Again, is the buyer out there prepared to pay what Newcastle would want?

At the end of the day Newcastle always hype up these players. But realistically they finished bottom half of the table, but the club will want Champions League money and that will put a lot off.

That said they have a history of flogging mediocre players for big money, only for them to have a career collapse, so who knows

 

[contrarian]

Too many being disdainful about the prospects of the promoted clubs ( same people enraged about us being written off ) .
For all the plaudits RLB received for last season we have seen nothing to indicate that we are other than a damp squib without Xhaka in the line up. This is clearly borne out by PPG with him starting and when not available
It is very stark and we can only assume Ghisolfi has something up his sleeve
A serious injury in the WC and it will be squeaky bum time

 

[Qoelet]

What we have shown is that structure, patience, planning, and careful recruitment are all essential to success.

Chelsea and Liverpool both invested heavily in their squads and have little to show for it. Chelsea spent approx 300m and Liverpool 450m and didnt get the success they anticipated

 

[Richie K]

Depends who leaves

Diana has gone
If Tonali/Gummibears goes they'll have to spend

H'way fella, could have at least made a funny name for Tonali as well!

 

[Vicham]

I dont think the mags are going to spend big. Mind I don't think theyll lose many either.

PIF are changing their investment strategies, starting to pull out of sports, like they have on LIV Golf. I think the mags will soon se, that investments won't reflect them having the richest owners in their back

 

[ChicagoCat]

We're doing a Leicester.


(desperate to get on Deluded World of RTG)

Leicester plus+ comes with a European trophy.

We’re just a Mahrez / Amad replacement away.

 

[Mickdundee]

If the last 4 years have taught us nothing, it’s the value of steady progress over upheaval.

Evolution, not revolution. Patience over petulance.

We brought in 14 players and broke the record for the most spent by a newly promoted club. We definitely went for upheaval last summer and it got us into the Europa!
