Sorry if this has already been shared (been fast flicking between tabs at work)
A source with knowledge of the situation in the Middle East, who has previously been contacted by the Bin Zayed Group, claims Sheikh Khaled 'definitely does not have the kind of money the press is touting about'.
Initial giddiness - a Newcastle player's representative went as far to say his client 'will sign a new contract and they will make a great team' on Monday - has given way to caution on Tyneside.
Newcastle fans have been here before and do not want to be let down. It is up to Sheikh Khaled to prove he is what he says. A man to take the Magpies forward.
Why does he have to prove himself to NUFC? What on earth does he even owe them having merely shown interest, nothing more has been proven to have happened.
Going on as if they are a mighty nation state demanding that a Sheikh has to prove himself to them.
Beyond embarrassing, that and the rest of that article from the sh1te wiping rag that is the Chronicle.

Because tire kickers are a pain in the arse, and yes he either puts up or shuts up.. I genuinely don't see the issue with that statement. It's not saying all potential suitors have to prove their worth to Newcastle fans or hierarchy, it is saying, if you are claiming to be a billionaire that is genuinely interested in buying a football club, prove it. Since according various press statements he couldn't afford to stump up 25mil for Liverpool.
So no, it's not because we think we are some kind of nation demanding that a Sheikh proves himself.. You jumped to that conclusion from the words of one man.

Hope not to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't want millions upon millions spent above our means but would be nice to have some investment into the training facilities and youth set up. Would also like a revenue stream via sponsorship.

Honestly, It's everything wrong with football. I should also say that if it did happen and we were the next Man City, I wouldn't Shed a tear for football. It will be a case of "can't beat them, join them" but I genuinely wished teams lived within their means.

Even that creates imbalances though. There will always be the teams who are a more saleable brand and as such generate higher sponsorship, merchandise and other non-football related revenue. The real issue with these billionaire owners is that once they decide to stop, where do your Chelsea/ Man City/ PSG type clubs go from there?

Hold on,
If this bloke is a chancer and hasn’t got that much cash, surely we want the deal to go ahead?

Regardless of whether the deal goes through or not they are still 2 leagues above us, forgive me if I find it a little hard to get excited over a failed takeover

They decline, as has happened countless times in history. If you go back long enough, there's always been ups and downs of a club's fortunes - just as there is in real world businesses - IBM / Nokia / General Motors etc all had their moments, then declined (not necessarily dead though).
But is that such a bad thing if for a while, you get a glimpse of what it's like to win things? If you look at the table of all time most successful British clubs, you soon realise A) how the overwhelming majority of success is enjoyed by about 10 clubs - not a lot for over a century of football and B) how many names like Wolves, Blackburn, Sunderland, Huddersfield are still up the top 20.
Not much has really changed in the world with the advent of sugar daddies - they've always been around. The stakes are bigger now, but the principle remains - not much changes in the grands cheme.
