The whole thing at Newcastle will be interesting to see how it goes.

A few players will go there just for the money and leave if they go down.
Other clubs are already saying they won`t do business with Newcastle due to their owners.
Be really interesting to see how it pans out.
Also looks like Villa will be announcing Gerrard soon who I believe was touted as a successor to Bielsa.

They'll have to look abroad for players. Most PL teams are refusing to do business with them, apparently. But we'll see how long that lasts when they start throwing money around.

Gerrard confirmed as Villa manager too. It's one of the best jobs outside the top 4, and perfect for a manager like Gerrard.

That won't last once they offer silly money for players.

Good appointment all round for Villa and Gerrard. Think he could do well there, will have a tonne of cash to spend again too.

I've friends who are Newcastle fans but i really hope the owners fail. Don't like it personally. They are in every way state owned apart from on paper.

To be honest i think the Arabs will pile funds in but allow Staveley to run the show and thats where it could get interesting i think.

Newcastle fans deserve success tho so i hope it works out for them. It wont be as smooth an operation as Man City tho i fear cos the fund wont run Newcastle.

I thought Gerrard might have been a good option for us.
But I think Orta has his eyes already set on another option.
Can`t think of the guys name but he has moved to England to learn the lingo.
Wasn`t he another Bielsa disciple?

I reckon we would have gone for Gerrard in a couple of years, but a couple of years is an age in sport.

He might have brought Ryan Kent with him seeing we`re short of good wingers
