Speaking of which I always thought not grooming Keith Burkinshaw to take over from Harvey was a big mistake by the club. The spurs team under him always seemed exciting during that period.
It depends if NUFC spend the money wisely when Isak is peddled to the highest bidder this coming close season. If NUFC buy three gems, then we'll be ok, if not, then who knows! And Eddie needs to be supported, even during our odd, but inevitable, rocky patches.
I agree, the club is being run on a more professional basis than in previous decades. However, rather than a lack of foresight and an unwillingness to progress in the boardroom to contend with, we now have the manipulation of the rules governing the Premier League by the cartel potentially holding us back.
That’s a lovely piece, Wallace, and a great reminder of how Newcastle - even when winning cups - almost always got the next step wrong. Hopefully those days are well and truly over.
Nice brief history lesson Wallace 👍

Excellent piece that, Wallace. Good to know we've always been short-sighted buggers and it's not just a recent trait of the club!
CL qualification, a couple of reinforcements and the future should be a lot brighter than in previous trophy-winning seasons.
