Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted December 13, 2023 Administrator Share Posted December 13, 2023 Which team do you think will be the next 'original' Premier League winners? A side that has never won it before. Last original winners were Liverpool in 2019/20, previous to this was Leicester (2015/16) and Man City (2011/12) then have to go all the way back to 2004/05 season for Chelsea's 1st title. Who's next on the list? Tottenham? Newcastle? Villa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,267 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 You'd have to back Newcastle certainly given the ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush 296 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Maybe within the next 4 years, of that list Villa if they can keep Luiz and Watkins have a good chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reluctant Striker 134 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 It is most likely to be one of those. If someone ever got a Leeds reboot right, they could be another very realistic contender at some stage. The current FFP stuff seems designed to keep Newcastle from doing a straightforward Man City. But, who knows what loopholes & lucrative sponsorship they may find. This time last year I would have said Newcastle. But Big Ange has suddenly made Spurs seem more realistic than I've ever known them. And Emery is looking like a tactical genius & excellent man manager. Both of the qualities needed. And not many seem to have both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ 1,388 Posted December 15, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted December 15, 2023 I’d say it’s quite easily Newcastle, it’s only a matter of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted December 15, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted December 15, 2023 Going to have to say Newcastle too. They are a few signings away from getting there. Have to ditch the manager too while they are at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say certain players need replacing an positions filled with better quality before ditching how for some rockstar manager, there aren't exactly good options available. GK, LB, CB, DM and RW need improvement, GK is the lowest priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a better manager can sometimes bring you the players you need better than having an existing one who is slowly running his course. That said, you're right, there isn't one out there right now so player replacements/position strengthening is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2,276 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Newcastle need a considerable amount of work on that squad to get anywhere near. They also have to bring in a much better manager. At least 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,360 Posted December 17, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted December 17, 2023 If Villa can keep hold of Unai Emery then I think they have a good chance, I see no one (yet) has mentioned Spurs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 It will be Newcastle. Aston Villa are two bad transfer windows away from ending up like Wolves, Leicester, Everton etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted December 17, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted December 17, 2023 I think it probably will be Newcastle as they'll continue to get bankrolled with whatever they need, whenever they need it. Don't actually think it'll be Spurs. They seem to perennially lack the depth needed to mount a serious title challenge. And it's probably too early to tell if they can sustain anything given how short a time Postecoglou has been there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Man United - 10 years since last title, next would be 21st Arsenal - 20 years since last title, next would be 14th Liverpool - 1 title in last 30 years or so, next would be 20th Villa - 40 years since last title, next would be 8th Spurs - 60 years since last title, next would 3rd Newcastle - near 100 years since last title, next would be 5th Spurs have magnificent PR & Newcastle have sexy Saudi Arabia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted December 19, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted December 19, 2023 I can't see Spurs winning it anytime soon. They lack the consistency and depth which are required in the modern game to actually mount a title challenge. Plus they're competing (like everyone else) with clubs funded a lot better than they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
