"There are worries at other clubs that the Saudis will take the same approach as Manchester City’s Emirati owners and spend freely in an attempt to compete at the top of the league and in Europe but those close to the consortium insist that this will not happen. They are keen to play down the expectations of fans and maintain that buying Newcastle is an investment for PIF and not a Saudi vanity project. Emulating Abu Dhabi’s expenditure in Manchester is not part of their plans"


From the independent. Won't go down well if true

Couldn’t give a fuck if they don’t spend millions and millions , having owners that have even a tiny a bit of ambition for the first time in 15 years will be unbelievable.

Was hoping it would go on a little bit longer but sadly all good things must come to an end.

Is that half time ? where's the big noose hanging from the crossbar for halftime entertainment

Aye it's done apparently

Bloody hell. Wow. I'm shocked. I mean it's not done yet but wow.

I did notice that. Not sure committing genocide in Yemen is the best move but each to their own

What's the worry in genocide if the transfer kitty gets a boost. Turning a blind eye is easier than turning away from the clerb. It's all a bit like Nazi Germany.

The Toonliban.

Unfortunately the Saudis already have toe holds in the game. With Sheffield Utd?

See what happens. Not fussed at the minute. Even if it happens it doesn't mean it will be like Abu Dhabi. Could they get the best players to the North east even if it was? And as owners not the nicest to have is it? The Head Choppers?

But do I blame the Mag fans for dreaming of billions being spent? Not really.

Morals have very sadly gone from football like. Money has ruined the game forever. I think the bubble will burst one day.

The PL have already passed it

Wouldn’t be at all surprised if that’s the case.

 

[Roker Mackem]

Even Money Mike has confirmed it. Must be true

 

[Sabre Mag]

So it appears the piracy was the main issue all along.

How much are our owners worth? Out of Intrest.

You can see it happening in Spain now, after a few weeks their league looks a lot more competitive

Couple of bill.

This is why I jacked in going to watch professional football.

I found I was less and less bothered by it and was leaving games at half time just before COVID. I used to get really wound up by it but now I couldn’t really give that much of a toss. I love to see Sunderland win but it is only a game.

 

[Eric gates hair]

Couple of bill.

But isn’t his brother on board now ?

 

[Sabre Mag]

Yeah, football is just a ridiculously unique business in which you can seemingly operate in continuing debt and leverage a historical institution for the chance of a trophy. Its madness really.

Bruce will be gone by the mags next game

 

[Jenks]

My mates in production at Sky and has just messaged me to say it’s imminent. They’ve had media ready to roll at short notice for ages.
