You'd have thought after all the other clubs that have had dodgy owners (just look at Wigan) they'd be happy to go through a rigorous process.

I think the key quote in that piece was "We thought we were going to be the next Manchester City"

Those grapes are sour.

Obviously their human rights record is abominable, and the PL/FA are right to have concerns. I mean, have you seen what Sports Direct workers go through?

The Geordies are almost as bad as the Mackems. They think they are a Big Club but they have not won a major trophy since 1955 (ignoring the Mickey Mouse European Cup in 1969).

I don't base a 'big club' on trophies won. To me it is far more than that. History, fan base, catchment, stadium and potential could all be factors in defining a big club. Therefore, on that basis I would say that Newcastle are a big club, maybe sleeping giants. I am not saying they are as big as Man Utd but I would say they are on par with the likes of Tottenham.

Also, the Mackems are a big club for the third tier of English football. As are we.
