A long thread of how Newcastle United continue to operate at turtle speed:
The Stadium
🐢The idea of a new stadium under PIF was being examined internally from late 2024
🐢Supporter consultation was scheduled for early 2025
➡️ No updates. No announcement. No briefings.

So thought balloons put out by someone at the Premier League or club involved regarding a big point deduction this reason and something next.
Sum total?
No titles rescinded.
City back in 2-3 seasons
They'll keep plenty of players to compete plus academy.
So 20 trophies, elevation from nationally big-ish club to globally big club, owners carry on regardless, nothing to see regarding last few years including fees, player and former managers contracts.
Seems fair.
If that's the punishment then I genuinely hope Newcastle United in particular just blow everyone out of the water and overheat the system in England so much that it will be impossible to compete at all. That they win every major trophy every season for 50 years and destroy English football, bankrupting 50+ clubs as they chase the impossible.
Because if the punishment for a decade plus of deliberate corrupt practice is 2 or 3 seasons out of the Premier League then I'll cheer on any club in this land who does the same in the future.
We've been absolute pish so far this season. It'll be time to properly worry if things haven't picked up by Christmas.
Depsite our unconvincing start, there are currently NINE teams somehow below us and Spurs have shown the past two seasons just how long you can be crap for.
We've launched Newcastle 2.0 with a temu Eddie Howe.
Oh to have a team that knows how to keep the ball, play with cohesiveness and technical ability and be solid at the back.

This has nothing to do with the summer, this is coaching.
I have never seen this version of a 3-1-6 before, anywhere!
And Villa took 30 mins to work out our man-marking high press, constantly finding the free man.
Worrying stuff.
It's been nearly three years now since we had a manager who played his best XI in a formation that suits the players he has.
Still no control. Still can't keep possession. Still boring to watch. Still no clear plan or identity.
It's been a long run of mediocrity & it's tiring.

Joelinton should have been sold this summer.
Pardo is not a striker.
Murphy and Elanga at RW was a problem.
No number 10.
No new CB to replace Botman.
I could keep going.
Murphy and Willock simply should not be starting Premier League games in 2026.
The sample size to prove this is depressingly large and definitive.
Also play players in their best positions please boss.
