Not a single big sponsor will pull out the league due to the Saudis, not one .

No idea how it works with gambling sponsorship in the middle east / muslim countries. I know the Asian countries love a gamble so not an issue for them. I read KSA wanted to buy out the nufc sponsors with it being a gambling company but isn't that a bit pointless if fun888 went out and sponsored their next opponents. So fun888 could be bought out but think you are right nobody will pull out.

His normal patter is to come on here and "be contrary and keep posting and posting and posting until he takes over and kills the thread".

This time (presumably because 'being contrary' is an unwinnable argument?) his patter is to be "incredibly reasonable and post and post and post until he takes over the thread".

But if he REALLY is pissed off at the KSA taking over his club?
Why on earth is he on a SAFC message board day after day being "incredibly reasonable"?
Why isn't he posting on NUFC websites about how upset he is?

And now he is posting on a NUFC board?
His patter is "how can we abuse and manipulate FFP".

None of this adds up unless you believe he's here trolling?

I'll bet you one thing - I don't believe he'll carry through his promise to set up a cross supporter group to demonstrate against the owners.

A rich awab man is what they always wanted. Not a team that tries because they where unhappy at finishing 4 th under robson and 5 th under pardew. The only reason they turned on Ashley was because he didn’t buy the league like Chelsea did that’s what they expected him to do. They only turned on him when they seen what happened to Man City and they wanted Ashley out because they thought if they can do it so can we.

And if the Arabs don't do that? Then what?

There's an tiny, ugly, rubbernecking part of me that always wants tornados to be bigger, a huge volcano to go off somewhere populated, or some solar storm to cause utter chaos. That's kind of how I feel about the NUFC takeover. Not hoping for it, but that it's happened.

I have relatively limited but sufficient 1st hand experience of KSA money when they show interest in something, and it is... interesting. In the Pratchett sense of the word. And that's over like £n0 000 investments; NUFC is literal orders of magnitude weirder.

I absolutely do hope this goes horribly and spectacularly tits up. It may make the slicers and dicers think again before doing it somewhere where they haven’t got the government bought and paid for. It being the mags is just an added benefit.

Oh shit if you think KSA don't own our government's back teeth, you're in for a rotten surprise.

You’ve made my day, mate. Sorry for the late reply, I’m rarely on here these days. It’s really nice of you to ask after me. I’m sort of OK, that’s as good as it gets but I’m thankful for it! I think everyone’s had a crap time these past couple of years, it’s been horrendous, hasn’t it! I’m thankful that my family hasn’t been seriously affected by the pandemic, and I sincerely hope that you, your family, and all posters on here get through this with minimum damage.

I’m not sure what’s wrong with messaging, tbh I never check there.

Thanks again for asking after me, I hope you and your family are well.

This is genuinely a kick in the stots for the Mags really, If the Inter and/or Marseille goes through, it just emphasises they are using this entirely as a vehicle to promote themselves within the footballing world. The Mags will definitely be stronger than they have been before, thats undeniable, but it isn't going to be the takeover they really thought. Essentially a franchise of footballing groups, sold their soul.

Teams KSA in the top leagues of Italy, France and England. You're absolutely correct mate this would be a f***ing monumental drop kick in the stots with a massive big run up and all kinds.
 
This a Sunderland lad winding up Newcastle, sent a tweet saying Newcastle had offered him a free season ticket (he was mocking Keith and Wraith) Liam Kennedy the stupid twat thought it was genuine great journalism :lol:

It’ll be funooo when they cut the 8’s heeds off.
 
Love to know what these legal assurances are, in detail, and how are they vetted?

Impossible too check on these barstewards. Also, how often are checks made regards their dealings, every day, every month, every season?

Why hasn't the premier league management been asked this in detail.
