Newcastle United Saudi Takeover (6 Viewers)

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Fucking hell tighter than a ducks arse

Yes but Coventry City isn’t her only project. Barnsley owner is top of the list but the group owns another 6 clubs I think

What else does she do out of interest that you know of

 

[shepardo01]

Using this we'd be the 13th richest in the prem ..doesn't work like that though

Too right. Course it doesn't.
Where the hell is that 2bn figure from I wonder!?!
Typo!???!!!

Speaking of which has there been any indication from Newcastles new owners are going to go on a Man City / Chelsea style spending spree? Just because they've got it doesn't necessarily mean they'll be chucking it at Newcastle.

This supposed increase in club value is a nonsense, complete bollocks but it makes a good headline.

These clubs have no right to the owners wealth but the owner has the right to the clubs wealth ...... not the same thing at all. The club is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. In this case £305m. The owners may decide to put funds in but the club cannot assume it is their right.

Complete rubbish to appropriate the billions to each club

Well they want to buy Inter too so would be pretty amusing if after all this they just used Newcastle as a feeder club.

There is already talk of them buying Kane and Mbappe in January (I suppose all the big names will now be linked)

 

[SIR ERNIE]

It has been approved by the Premier League

The same PL who claimed the high moral ground by encouraging teams to take the knee for BLM.

That isn't going to happen

You are probably right, they will wait until the summer.

 

[Sick Boy]

The whole 'cans' thinking is cringing - tossers.

 

[David O'Day]

not going to happen either

the club seems more realistic and are talking 10 year plans to get to that level

If they want to keep from overstepping the FFP rules, then it’s a very gradual process. Something their “fans” seem to be forgetting.

Not sure they have to because under Ashley they made a profit and have been sold with a positive bank balance. Under FFP they can lose something ridiculous like £135m over 3 seasons so they can probably splash out a considerable amount in January and before next season. It won't be easy to attract top players without qualifying for European competition and it won't be easy to attract a top manager with the squad they have. Will probably have to be a gradual process upgrading players and managers as necessary.

Premier League: Saudi Arabia-backed Newcastle takeover complained about by other clubs - Clubs complain about Newcastle takeover

Concerns or jealousy?

The ship sailed ages ago. Jealousy in some cases, hypocrisy in others.

Exactly this - what the 'big' clubs are afraid of is that somebody else is going to get their nose in the Champions League trough, and that one of them will miss out as a result. It's naff all about football, fair competition, and they are taking a stance akin to that of themselves not wanting to redirect any of the PL income to support the clubs in the leagues below. Money, and self interest. Nothing else. I'm glad it's happened if it upsets the 'cartel'

Forgetting the other clubs for a minute, we’ve now got a quasi state owned club in the league, and not a particularly benevolent one. Is that no cause for concern in its own right?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Frightening.....

So Norwich will want a competitive championship next year so will be waiving their parachute payments, if they are that bothered they should try for new owners themselves.

At least only one of them has been involved in organised murder

it’s private enterprise so in the real world it happens

 

[robbiekeane]

it’s private enterprise so in the real world it happens

But there’s no point comparing it to real world private enterprise. If it was just real world business we’d have franchise teams moving all over the place like the US of A

Football is supposed to be different. Not sure for how much longer

Well I’m some ways it has - the company I worked for made profit about twice in 20 years and many suitors were prepared to pump billions in

Their fans are utterly deluded. Expecting signings of Haaland, Salah, Bellingham in January.

Just had a bloke on itv talking about it. Apparent football blogger.

Came on saying how the takeover was amazing and then the other guy said about some of the negatives and he shit himself and did a quick u turn.

Sky promoting the spurs game as "Newcastle's first game"

They did exist before.
