Can you imagine the meltdown if Mike pulled the plug on the sale citing Saudi's human rights record?

They'd hate Mike, but it would be hard to argue with him!

I think he is already sticking two fingers up at them with the announcement today that the property development on the land he sold is ready to go ahead. The natives aren’t happy

Exactly how I cook them let is sit for an hour outside of fridge then spray dash of oil on it with some salt and pepper.
Leave that for another 30 mins then fry the bad boy up, lush!

Not "he"
 
It will go through but its pretty much signalling the end of football that anyone used to enjoy. The days when an entire country can run a football club is a sad day, and that goes for any club not just because its the Mags.
 
Needs a lot of investment Newcastle mind and I say this as Geordie.. 🤦‍♂️

Are we not recently getting some massive wheel?

It’s a joke to be honest, I can see why Newcastle fans are excited as its essentially a lottery win for fans in footballing terms but it will just be another nail in the coffin for the game.

Once the novelty wears off of having an unlimited amount of cash, Where is the enjoyment of your own football club, based in the North East of England being used buy your owners, as an advert for Premiership football to those in the Middle East. It’s so backward its unbelievable.

I think people are way ahead of things when they talk about unlimited cash, I think we first need to wait and see if it goes through first. Looks like it's going to but I wouldn't exactly be shocked if Ashley did a U turn.
Second thing is we need to wait and see what the mission statement is. Just because you have a shit ton of money it doesn't mean you are going to spend it.

It may well be a case of them using the club for image in which case they will chuck a ton of money at it as a bang average team won't be the image they want.
For all we know this could be a Staveley and Reuben brothers project and the Saudi's might just be providing the liquid cash needed in return for a decent return on the money. They might have no interest in the club other than selling the shares back to staveley at cost plus X% over the next couple of years.

Guess we will just wait and see, Just once they are tied into the club you cant ever see them going when money is no object.

Yer I agree wait and see.
Are they doing a PSG or just looking for a decent return on 240 million, the mission statement when/if the takeover goes through will tell us more.
