Can you see us in the Champions league?

by Gus the teenage cow » 28 Jun 2012 17:00

Newcastle gave it a good go last season even against big spenders, it will be tough as there are now six big hitters there in man u, citeh, spurs, arsenal, liverpool and chelsea, we would need to bypass three of them to get a spot but AND I STRESS there should be no limit to our ambitions

that should be our goal and if we spend wisely and the scouts do their job and invest 20-30 million a year then it is not out of the question that we could achieve that goal in 3-5 years

however being a nouveau riche club we have already displayed the classic mistake of grabbing widely for anything that is available, paying big wages for a guy in his late twenties who is not very mobile and will not score much is not a good start

more papiss cisse's and cabaye's please and less pogrebnyaks and carlos sanchez's please, we need hungry young gems, not overpaid mercenaries - disappointed in hammond's eagerness to swallow the cake down, we must remain conaisseurs despite the fact that the bar is open now

No. It's unrealistic. But I could see us in the Europa League occasionally.

If it ever happened it would probably be on ESPN so the answer would still be "No".

I think we have as much chance of playing Champions League football in the next 5 years, as we have of playing League Two football in that time.

Yes Gus, but i do suspect you are suffering a 'mid season boredom crisis'.

10 years maybe. Things can, and will change. I expect Wigan to win the league within 20 years.

Yes!

Just placed a tenner on us at 50/1 to finish top 6. Unlikely but those odds are ridiculous

Why go 6th for 50/1? I got champions 5000/1. Utterly no chance of either.

5000/1!!! It was only 2000/1 last time we were promoted.

although seriously, why would anyone put that bet on? You've got more chance of seeing your money again if you give it to a tramp.
