After waking up this morning to the horror of having no clean pants, I now find myself air-drying a pair (azure blue with mustard piping in case you're visualising) by holding them aloft on the balcony. It's in these quiet moments I think about the futility of certain things...

Peter the "socialist" posts his glee at the wealth of his top 6, revenue driven, capitalist club. And appears to support the very rules that keep the poor clubs down while the elite clubs get richer at their expense. Zero irony detected here. 😂 #nufc
Peter #Socialist #COYS @woolhead on bsky.social@CoysPeter

And new spending rules, higher revenues, owner cash injections, and freeing up more money to spend on wages are enabling the club to make that desire a reality - with the potential for a further £250m to be spent this summer. #Coys #AVFC #NUFC #MUFC bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

@Markaccus Why do they always get abusive? It's almost as if their argument is quite weak.

I like Tonali, he's a decent box to box midfielder. But can anyone honestly say, after watching him play for the last couple of seasons that you would be happy if we were paying £100m for him? #nufc

@southernmag365 In theory maybe but in practice it takes a long time to evolve the squad even with a ton of cash. Think of Liverpool with the Coutinho sale and Spurs with Bale - took a while to beat fruit after initial splurge. And they had no restrictions.

This is hard one but IF and it’s a big IF we sell Tonali and Bruno for around 180m and IF we invest in six 20-40m players with high potential the overall squad would improve a lot. No good having 3/4 great players and the rest below average #nufc

@ShellNUFC2006 To be fair I think we sold Elliot due to PL rules but these latest sanctions are based on UEFA rules. If memory serves (I'm too lazy to look it up) the 2 sets of rules will completely align from next season.

@NUFCMurph @rory1542 Ok but like I said, they'll probably do well for a while - maybe a season or even 2 - and then it will go tits up again because they have nothing beneath first team and no plan. Yoyo-ing between 6th and 17th despite their ability to spend at will. For #nufc it's much harder.

@LiamJKennedy23 So...since we missed out on Europe this season, does that mean we get a free pass for a year?

NUFC must also pay another €3m due to breaching UEFA's 70% Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) target in calendar year 2025. This is being viewed as a positive outcome by NUFC given sanctions placed on Chelsea/Villa in recent years.

NUFC reach settlement with UEFA following Financial Sustainability Regulations breach to June 2025. The club accept the three-year settlement, which includes €3m financial penalty, with a further €7m suspended 'pending future compliance'.

@NUFCMurph @rory1542 I've seen no evidence of investing well at Spurs. They've spunked millions just in compo for sacked managers. De Zerbi might do well for a while then it will go south again because they have no plan beyond buying marquee players. Their owners seem more interested in NFL tie ups.

@DomW964 @rory1542 An aim to invest well and get Spurs back into the mix, same as Man Utds was (and it worked) meanwhile our "project" has no wheels and is on fire

@NUFCMurph @rory1542 What "Project" do Spurs have? What are their goals? All I see is a disjointed club focussed on revenue spending hundreds of millions on flavour-of-the-month managers and players that have high ratings on FIFA. Finishing 17th twice is their own doing and mismanagement. #nufc

@NUFCgallowgate Never heard of him before today and neither have any of you lying b'stards. Is he signing for us or not? If yes, he's obviously a fuckin legend. If not, he's total shit. That's all.

Does anyone out there know who was the last player #nufc signed after seeing a tweet that said "Newcastle are interested in...."? Nope, me neither.

I've watched test cricket since I was a kid - Botham, Willis, Gower etc but I admit I'm a casual fan these days...so can someone more knowledgeable explain to me how Ben Stokes retirement means we just throw away a series decider with T20 batting and everyone is smiling?

@Footylnsider Losing Isak so late and replacements being different profile combined with the fact the squad beneath the first 11 is relatively thin when playing 3 games a week. #nufc needs CL football to grow but isn't ready for it yet basically.

So last year, #NUFC supposedly had 100M Tonali, 100M Bruno, 80M Gordon, 80M Lewis Hall, 70M Livramento, all of whom are targetted by big clubs, and another 200M worth of incomings upon that, and still finished 12th? What went wrong? What's going wrong

The Bruno situation goes 1 of 2 ways this summer. 1. Bruno signs a new bumper contract with #NUFC 2. He sold to another club. If its the latter, this is all on Howe and he should be sacked (sooner the better)

@consettphil Just no evidence for any of this. I saw tired displays and an inability to defend a lead. I never saw a team that were not playing for the manager.

@DomW964 It will, the squad have clearly not played for Howe last season. The club backed Howe, so only option left for players is to leave.

Bruno G will soon be 29 and only 2 yrs left on his contract. This is tricky for the club - either we sell him now for big money or we offer him a massive new contract. He might sign (with God knows what clauses) or he stay and run his contract down. Rock and a hard place. #nufc
