Why are Newcastle allowed to finish 12th & spend more than Fulham, Bournemouth, Brighton, Everton, Brentford & Sunderland which they almost definitely will do this summer?
It’s insane to me that people can’t differentiate league finish with how much money a club generates every year without fail.
Newcastle just signed a shirt sponsorship for £20m a year. Tottenham’s is £40m a year. United’s is £60m a year. Extrapolate that gap in finances across all areas of the club & the financial gap is massive.
Clubs who generate the most money can spend the most money, it’s not some conspiracy. Chelsea & City were cheats and that’s frustrating but you can’t just allow everyone to financially cheat for the rest of time because two clubs got away with it.
It’s why football will slowly die out.
You’ve got Villa and Newcastle absolutely huge clubs and arguably on a par with Spurs, playing in Europe regularly not able to spend, but Spurs can finish x2 17th and spend what they want.
Same with Man United.
Broken system
