I admire his optimism and he was great for the club, maybe 20 years ago they could have got to that level but they missed their chance, you are talking about one of the top 5 clubs in the world in terms of size and appeal.
They might get and overtake their level on the pitch but off it they won’t be able to touch them. |  | | |  |

Geordies in general are great but Newcastle fans are some of the most chronically deluded football fans its possible to find. |  |

Why can't they be? They have a massive ground... (bigger than the Etihad) and the support base to fill it. They have the potential to be a very marketable identity.. unique black and white stripes.. a recognisable and fervent fan base. If they did go on to win a title and a few domestic and European cups consistently what is stopping them from taking over from Man U? |  | | |

Their ground is smaller than the Etihad, and the Etihad has loads more room to expand further.
Anything is possible I guess, but they would need to get owners on the level of Citys or PSG's for any of that to happen... not just some shark from the US, or prince from Saudi.
Gaining parity off the field / globally with United would probably take 30-40 years, and would require Utd to go backwards. |  |

Well obviously that is not looking realistic but as a club the potential is there to be as big as United. More so than if Southampton or Swindon won the premier league title and European success etc. [Post edited 18 Oct 2017 13:11]

A heck of a lot of money and good planning. See Man City | | | |

Yeah you've got me on the stadium size after checking my facts.
In an alternative universe and the owners of Man City plumped for Newcastle instead.. I don't see why being as big as united as such a far off statement to make. [Post edited 18 Oct 2017 13:15]

Man City had more potential than Newcastle, thats why the owners chose them.
1. A big ground that has room to expand to a capacity of 80,000+ if needed (or larger probably).
2. Even more surrounding land allowing them to create the best football campus in the world.
3. Manchester is already a HUGE brand known around the world. You cant say the same about Newcastle.
Newcastle can grow to be a huge club, but very very very unlikely it will compete with the scale of Man United on the global stage. | |

Worth adding that Man City are still nowhere near the size of United also
I don’t think anyone can realistically disagree that Newcastle do have the potential to be a big club, but Man U are on an entirely different level to anyone bar Real Madrid and Barcelona really |  |

when you say "potential to be a very marketable identity" - did you feel your soul shrinking up inside you, never to be felt again? |  |
