Pliskin Posted 8 October 2021 Share Posted 8 October 2021 7 hours ago, The whole world smiles said: I don't really understand the uproar about this. Is it really any different to Abu Dhabi owning City? Good luck being a homasexual or speaking out publicly against the regime there! Just another oil rich, highly un democractic, fundamentalist country owning a football club. The horse has well and truly bolted as others have said. Why not let Newcastle fans have a bit of fun too they deserve it suffering Ashley and that terrible football all these years. There will be human rights abusing scum bags in Saudi Arabia wheather they buy Newcastle or not. But at least like with our owners there will be some investment in the North East and some job creation. god knows they need because they won't be getting any crumbs from this stingy government. This one is ever so slightly different in that the consortium is headed by Saudi royals, whom happily sit there earning their billions whilst certain members of society and women suffer. They recently ‘permitted’ women to drive, but again it comes with strict guidelines, you can also be killed for being a member of the LGBTQ+ group….. Whilst there are probably a lot of similarities between them and the Man City owners beliefs, the Saudi royals have an actual say in their countries affairs. The premier league has literally made themselves look like willy pullers, in one hand they show support to the various groups that within the country and then in the other they allow a modern day medieval tyrant buy a football club…. It is all a bit twisted. Furthermore Newcastle fans are just annoying…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian__marshall Posted 8 October 2021 Share Posted 8 October 2021 Still not sure why everyone thinks that just because Newcastle now have a lot of money that all the rest will just roll over and let them scoop up every trophy in the land. Yes, they have more money than anyone else but the numbers are irrelevant, let's not pretend that the others are paupers nor assume that just because they have a lot of money that they intend to spend every penny on Newcastle United. Anyone thinking that those sitting at the top table currently won't put up a fight are deluded. I wouldn't under estimate the political power that these clubs have with the football authorities to implement rule changes protecting their dynasty.

ARM1968 Posted 8 October 2021 Share Posted 8 October 2021 Think the Toon should go for Pearson - that would be epic on many levels. Back in the real world it will likely be Conte or someone of that level. Be absolutely buzzing if they tap up Pep for the Nooo project like.

kingkisnorbo Posted 8 October 2021 Share Posted 8 October 2021 All this only makes me pine more for the fan ownership systems seen in Germany etc. Would absolutely love to implement something like that.

And, it’s still Newcastle, no disrespect but Man City had a power rival to overtake, and Chelsea had a degree of pedigree prior to Romans arrival. Newcastle are at this time genuinely shit, there’s nothing they can do immediately to turn things around. I genuinely think they will end up getting relegated, which would be ****ing hilarious!

Popular Post lcfc_forever Posted 8 October 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 8 October 2021 Generally, I'm happy with big investors coming into the league. It means clubs are more likely to get bigger fees for their players, which they can reinvest into players, wages, infrastructure etc. We have a really good model, using major sales to address weaknesses, secure better contracts for key players, build the training ground. So smarter, more efficient clubs benefit as well. Like Lille beating PSG to Ligue 1 the previous season. And it helps to break up the monopoly of the big 6. The likes of Liverpool, Man Utd bang on about heritage and how their financial success was founded by historical results but at some point they invested heavily in players with debt, especially Man U. It'll be interesting to see how they react to this and whether they push for tightening of financial regulations. However, Newcastle being bought by Saudi Arabia is a disgrace. The PL had to let it through because their rules are so flimsy around human rights violations and they knew they'd probably lose the court case. If Newcastle succeed, it's with blood money - for example, there are claims that the fund provided the plane for the assassination of Khoshaggi. I'd seriously reconsider following us if that kind of regime ever took over our club, probably supporting the City in a different sport. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post EnderbyFox Posted 8 October 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 8 October 2021 To be honest I'm somewhat warming to the idea of murderous regimes buying up under-performing clubs. The Taliban may have just re-taken Afghanistan, but how would they fare getting Sunderland out of League 1? Kim Jong-Un & Stoke seem like a match too good to be true. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it a mile away, whoever goes there now will be sacked by the end of the season when they are still struggling in the bottom half. The smart move is to let someone go in and start the project and then come in when they are in a better position to move up the table. My money is on Unai Emery coming in. Interesting looking at their fans forum and who they want in. Some want Rafa back, some have suggested Eddie Howe, and more than one want a certain KK back as DoF. Wtf?

Incentive to stay around for increased wages might temp a few to put more effort in. Plus they'll have a new manager to prove themselves to soon enough with a fresh start. It must be strange though for many players because they know they won't be part of the plans no matter how much they improve or try to improve.

Leicesterpool Posted 8 October 2021 Share Posted 8 October 2021 Sounds like from Amanda's interview that Steve Bruce could be gone before the next game. I dont expect Newcastle will go for world class manager yet due to league position. Think it could be Gerrard, they'll look at him to build the foundations for a couple of years.
