The plan will surely be to replicate exactly what Man City did, as a textbook almost. To begin in 08/09 City made a few "marquee" signings like how they immediately nabbed Robinho, but at first mostly pinching expensive players from their rivals like Lescott and Gareth Barry etc to increase the overall quality of the squad - then once they establish in the top 4 they had the clout to attract seriously big name players like Aguero etc. If the owner really is one of the UAE ruling families, Newcastle will become Man City and a very short space of time - was only three years from takeover to league title for Man City.

Assuming he really is a real sheik and not a fake sheik of cours.e

Then there was a ‘big 4’ now there is a ‘big 6’, theres also financial fair play and clubs even in the bottom half can turn the big boys down as they get insane money just for finishing 17th. The landscape has dramatically changed in 10 years.

Football will not exist as we know it now in 10 to 15 years. Those clubs relying on 1 backer will be in serious trouble then.

By that I mean these rich sheiks will be able to pull out of clubs without being worried about recouping the cash they invested. Those same clubs will then be absolutely up shit creek without a paddle

Not to mention the irony lost on him posting about how quickly fortune can change. What happens when these sheiks pull out of owning clubs in 10/15 years?

no irony lost on me mate.
there appears to be more belief on this thread amongst you lot that this could happen than I've got.

much more likely we'll still be putting up with the fat twat in 10 years than worrying about sheiks f***ing off!
 
Dont get why so many are hand wringing about "the next generation" going to the mags, assuming this is true and they become "geet class hew" then the same result would happen even if we were still in the premier League plodding along in the bottom half.

Haven't we been here before with Amanda Stavely?

Of course this could be another classic Ashley smokescreen during the talks with Rafa.

And like I said even if they become humongous billionaires like that awab man what's doon at Man City, then yes a large number of fans will jump ship.
Which would happen whatever league they and we are in.

The only way you can compete with the megabucks clubs is with megabucks yourself.
