I kind of agree. they could be a much improved side next season with the right owners at the helm prepared to invest properly in the club. Maybe it would make it easier for us if they take the drop this season.

Andy Carroll will ride to their rescue.
The only place he’ll ride to is the knackers yard.

Losing those 3 players is a huge blow - it would be like us not having Lamptey then losing Maupay, Webster and Veltman simultaneously for 8 weeks.
All this on the back of Newcastle letting Yedlin join Galatasaray in the January window too. Ouch!

But that's been the case for years - for decades - yet, they've won no domestic competition for more than 70 years (and only threatened winning anything for a couple of those). Everyone can see that the potential is there and yet they constantly fail to deliver

For sure. Hence my comment about next owner. ManCity were duds since forever. Pump / Launder enough money into any EPL project and it will pathetically predictably have the desired effect
Well, Man City had won trophies more recently than Newcastle (and that was before dodgy money) but what you're saying is true of any team. If Jeff Bezos wanted to pump billions into Accrington Stanley or AFC Wimbledon, they could win trophies too.

Well two Hollywood bozos just took over Wrexham for no real reason at all. We'll see how that pans out
The problem was lardy local man-made-good owners who used their local status to lubricate their local business arrangements, and probably dazzle some local totty when they still had a bit of lead in their pencils.
What they really needed was a shrewd business mann, not local, and possibly with a greater affinity with another club, who.....
Oh, crap. Whoops!

That Palace injury list is hilarious.
Those aren't complete lists are they? We don't have Izzy or Andone on ours

Andone is on our list and Izquierdo has been named on our bench for a few matches now so just be fully fit
Who is the F.Andone ?
But they have ther right Scott in charge (look up Thunderbirds if you're unfamiliar; we'll train you to be a proper Brit yet; you already speak the language better than 50% of NSC
)
You just reminded me of that Blackadder episode, when Baldrick announced a cunning plan of playing word games before their execution to pass the time, to which Blackadder replied:
"Arrange the following words into a simple sentence: Mouth your sodding shut".
I think you meant 'who the F is Andone'. Correct if me I'm wrong.
The answer to my question, if not yours, my friend, is not blowing in the wind, it is a Brighton forward, waiting, final checks ongoing, in the wings
