Grebfromgrebland Posted 7 October 2021 Share Posted 7 October 2021 With the Saudis coming into football I can see them forcing through rule changes to benefit super rich clubs. Everything they do has a political and financial price with it usually to do with arms, soldiers or oil. They have the power to make anyone bend to their will and we usually do.

Whats scary about this is that they have so much power over our govenrment.

Leicesterpool Posted 7 October 2021 Share Posted 7 October 2021 Interesting thing is Newcastle have got somes tricky games to come with loads of injuries even with a new manager coming in, by January time they could be like Norwich quite a drift and even with the big bucks to spend would any player want to join a club that's at the time could be in a relegation scrap.

Popular Post OntarioFox Posted 7 October 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 7 October 2021 (edited) It's amazing how at the stroke of a pen Newcastle have turned from a relatively likeable entity (long-suffering, passionate fans against twat owner kinda thing) into the most hated club in England. Please please PLEASE let them get relegated. They are still a doggo squad and it's going to take more than one window of spaffing blood money to turn them around, even with a quality manager. Will be fascinating to see them try to juggle their bottomless finances with the tighter regulations of the EFL.

Popular Post coolhandfox Posted 7 October 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 7 October 2021 (edited) The PL has no integrity....... How can it hold campaigns to support equality for LGBT, and allow Newcastle to be owned by state that outlaws it. Which is just scatching thr surface of Mohammad Bin Salman Al Saud stewardship of Saudi Arabia. Sad day for football.

Whilst we'll gnash about this particular takeover the problem is the precedent. It's opened a door for genuine villains. What takeover ISN'T acceptable? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 7 October 2021 Share Posted 7 October 2021 I don't blame their fans for enjoying it- they've a great chance to won trophies which the majority of their fanbase won't have seen. I do worry about the knock-on effect and the ever increasing cost of transfer fees and wages as teams try to compete. I think, for ourselves, it's just not worth it. You can see how hard it is to build something with comparatively low financing (though certainly not shoestring) and how it can be blown out of the water in one go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 7 October 2021 Share Posted 7 October 2021 Newcastle fans probably hoping this ain't some sort of wind up and the cheques bounced. Not another Portsmouth or Notts County takeover situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmono84 Posted 7 October 2021 Share Posted 7 October 2021 I think I’m gonna start boycotting. I can’t stand another Man C / Man U billion pound squads especially now these guys who treat lives so cheaply have taken charge. I love my Leicester but I can’t stand thinking I am contributing to these guys getting more money and power. Most of these owners couldn’t give a toss about football and only in the Prem because of how big is it. I actually hope the bubble bursts now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
