the Foreign office stated to BBC they could not see it being passed by the house committee I got that of an agent in London 3 weeks ago,

if it was stated to the BBC, why would you need to get it from an agent?

WTF would the Foreign Office stop the Saudis from buying a football club? The Prince had dinner with the Queen a few months back.

FFS.

the thing I keep coming back to on all this is Amanda Stavely. My understanding is that she is basically brokering the deal for Saudi investors....

Now, she has been here before. She has dealt with Ashley who snubbed her. Why is she so keen to buy Newcastle knowing what he is like?

Surely if the Saudis are as rich as we believe, there are better buys than Newcastle at this current time
Something is off here.

Staveley is rumoured to be a massive Newcastle fan.

I think the real answer could be her getting a 10% cut for brokering a deal. Is she actually putting in any of her own money?

She is putting in 10% according to the press.

It makes sense for the Saudi's if they don't want to be hands on in the running of the club.

Newcastle are a good sized club, in the Premier League with (historical) history and all that jazz. I'm sure the Saudis would love to buy Man Utd, Liverpool etc. But a) they're not for sale b) they'd cost way way more than Newcastle. Newcastle are comparatively cheap, aren't riddled with external debt and have small wage bills etc.
 
One of the reasons they are attractive is the way Ashley handled transfers ManU owe over 150 M in transfer fees and Newcastle are actually one of a small group of Premier teams actually in credit with transfer fees.

I was going to say this. Wrong government to prevent this from happening.

Newcastle fans were the most offended people ever when we appointed PDC.

Newcastle fans think Mike Ashley is more evil than the Saudi regime.
Football fans eh.

You see and hear what you want to and filter out what you dont

See what they want to see, hear what they want to hear.

We are here to provide balance, otherwise these posts would not be debates but moreover shouts into the echo chamber.
