I want to talk about whether Newcastle United could achieve the same kind of success Manchester City has in English football. Newcastle has new owners with deep pockets, just like City had in the past. They’re no longer just trying to avoid relegation; they’re aiming high in the Premier League, competing in the champios league. It’s an exciting time for Newcastle, and it’s got me thinking – could they be the next Manchester City?
If the trainwreck that is Chelsea right now taught us nothing, throwing money at a problem is only half the equation. You can have all the money in the world, and buy up all the talent you can find but if they don’t have someone driving the car, it’s still going to wreck. Likewise, you could have the best driver in the world, but if your car ain’t got no gas in it, it’s not going to make it very far.
The case with city is they have pep, who might be the dale Earnhardt of football, and they got the money to drive that car through the finish line for a long time.
