As much as I hate any clubs being owned by countries, Newcastle has been performing very well without excess spending. They have used great scouting, management, and coaching to get to where they are. Yes, they did start spending more on salaries, but they haven’t dumped a ton into the transfer market like other billionaire teams.
All the players they have brought in since the takeover are established players mostly from other clubs competing in Europe, agree they haven’t tried to sign Mbappe or Lewandowski but they still spent far above their past and current table position and stature.
City, United, Villa against. Chelsea abstained.
Yeah, that tracks. Surprised Newcastle voted in favour

I agree, but I woulda figured some more ambition(?)
Although I always presumed that the PIF didn’t wanna rush success, just to sportswash by running the club sustainably(?)
I’m not happy with these words but I don’t have the right ones

Am I missing something or is Villa the odd one out here?
Why would they vote against?
I believe they’re backed by a big American firm, they want to be able to spend what they want
Tory club innit
