How can you spend so much money & be so bad?
The recruitment is awful.

Agree with you about Bruno,& he’s wasted his best years at UTD imo.
And that’s not a dig at UTD.
It’s a strange one coz we tend to have these conversations every year. The teams that have performed above and beyond, and the teams that have really struggled. I have said this before. City years ago seriously spent some money. But it don’t guarantee success or attractive football. Chelsea and Liverpool have both been abysmal re what they have spent and where they are.
But at the same time, the five teams that are only 2 points max behind Chelsea are doing really well.
The surprise team for me that have turned there season around are Utd. The stick the took before Varrick took over was unreal, and to finish above Liverpool is astonishing.
 
6 points separates 6th to 14th. And many of those teams from 10th have a game or 2 in hand.

The fight for the last few European spots could be between many clubs
Which is just rubbing salt, lemon and battery acid into the open wounds of Newcastle fans....just turning two of those utterly abject performances we have tossed off recently against Palace, Blunderland and Bournemouth, into wins, and we would be firmly in the driving seat to grab a place in Europe....hell 4 points and the table would look a lot rosier....but no the playing staff have downed tools and management cant seem to motivate them....11 hours sat on trains today, 1 hour on a rail replacement bus, train delays meant no pre-match beer as I only got in to Newcastle about 25 minutes before kick-off....and the buffet car had ran out of beer by the time it got to Peterborough where we sat for the best part of 50 minutes.

Only bright side is that I'm likely to get most of my train fares refunded under the Train Delay compo scheme.....mind you, most of the potential refund was spent in a bottle shop on Newcastle station.
