Newcastle Takeover Done

[The Lone Gunman]

Will they ever win anything?

Within the last ten years, Wigan and Leicester have won the FA Cup, Swansea have won the EFL Cup and Leicester have won the Premier League, while a mediocre Arsenal side has won the FA Cup three times, so there's no reason why Newcastle can't win something.

Going by your logic with wigan and Leicester, they could have already……they never seem too. I don’t even recall if they’ve made it to a cup final in the last 30 years? Have they? Or semi?

It's not my 'logic'. They were facts.

Newcastle were FA Cup runners-up in 97/98 and 98/99. They finished as Premier League runners-up in 95/96 and 96/97, and finished third in 93/94 and 2002/03.

The Manchester City comparison is a valid one. They had been nowhere near winning anything for decades until their current ownership took over.
