But, but, but..... the Saudis wanted to invest in the region.

No sportswashing involved, oh no!

Also included is analysis of deals that never came to fruition following an outcry, including a $6m offer to footballers Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to be the face of the Kingdom’s tourism body Visit Saudi and a controversial $400m takeover-bid for Newcastle United.

Not sure I buy that (although I do question a lot of what the original poster said re enjoyment outside of the Premier League).

The two previous times we went down we were fortunate to have a very good squad and a steady hand under Chris Hughton, and a lot of sellable assets, and a good squad builder in Rafa Benitez. I'm not convinced we have either this time around. If we survive, Ashley will keep holding out for that £300m+ and hoping he can push through the Saudi deal. He also will see no need to rock the boat by sacking Bruce. Survival is success under that giant cabbage.

I think, genuinely, for the first-time Ashley is desperate to sell. He wants rid of the hassle of it all. If we go down and don't fly out the traps he'll know it's going to take more time and might just accept a lesser bid. That may be wishful thinking tbh, because I just want him and Bruce fucked off.

It's a fair point, if our millions and millions of fans all chipped in a pound...

That suggestion from Rio Ferdinand did give me a chuckle. I think it works out about £7-9k each for the £350m? To be honest, I would be hesitant about a fan base like ours owning the club. It's very divided at the best of times.

But we keep hearing that Newcastle supposedly have millions of fans around the world. You only need 1 of those millions to chip in £300-£350 each and you can do whatever you want after that.

Was it ever floated as an idea before KLD arrived? I make it about £800 a head based on stadium capacity and rumoured price Donald wanted.

I'm going to be honest, I've heard that brought up a lot here, but I never once saw or heard of people doing that. To that end, I don't really have an answer for you.
