The real Swans man.
RDZ is one of the very few who might (in time) be able to do so. He is special.

Guardiola has said he’ll be there for years to come. He back tracked on earlier plans, including the interview where he said he’d walk if it was proven that the owners had lied on FFP.

For a Spaniard I'd have thought he'd have done his time under Manc's slate grey skies by now. He's also made digs at their fanbase before. Can't see him there much longer, especially as he tends not to let the grass grow under his feet.

Why?
There are 20m reasons why he stays there...............
Spending £b’s in fees and wages, part funded by rule breaking faux sponsorships and illegal additional remuneration to players/staff via Abu Dhabi entities. Charges proven, but time barred once it went to CAS. Abu Dhabi had dragged it out for years to achieve that, using several top firms of lawyers to lead UEFA a merry dance.
Right down Guardiola’s alley.
Barcelona, Bayern, Abu Dhabi. He’s only manages where trophies are a near cert.

Lazy choice, I could win the league with Man City

Dangerous Idiot
I wonder when fans will start to get pissed off ‘enjoying the ride’ and enjoying players why they are here. It’s natural progression for supporters to want more success when some comes your way. We are already dreaming of some decent success in Europe league.

Howe’s leading. He performed a miracle by getting 9 more points than us.
(Excluding Owen obvs).

Fans of the big spending clubs don’t really get the very valid point you’re making @Weststander - to them it’s perfectly reasonable to spend so much.
I have been a tad surprised(though of course I shouldn’t be) that the pundits praising Howe never seem to notice just how much they’ve spent since the Saudi takeover - fair play he’s also done an excellent job but don’t ignore the money they’ve spent!

Yep - the media making out like Newcastle reaching the Champions Lge is some kind of miracle underdog story is nauseating - ok they've not spent Chelsea levels of money (yet) but its come as no surprise to absolutely anyone bar the media it seems that they've been taken over by a state and are now in the Champions League
The Guardian wrote that our play was "appointment to view" football
I think they spent £164m this season. Not chicken feed is it.
With high wages too. Isak, Guimaraes and mates would be on good money. Newcastle's 2021/22 wages/amortisation costs are based on Ashley era spending.
