Nothing mate, obviously.

In a weird kind of perverted way, I actually trust her to get it right in the long run. If she doesn't get it right she's gone soon.

I know people have said previously on here but the Saudi state (yes that's PIF) want to be the best in everything they do, if you've ever worked for them or been there, that's the mentally drilled into everyone.

I appreciate your honesty on here.
I know someone who knows her, and she is absolutely ruthless in business apparently. However..... does she know football ? I'd be having severe doubts if I was a Newcastle fan

Sorry to piss on chips here but the Inter thing won't be happening, at most it'll be a small percentage stake. I'm sure Grumpy will clear this up.

What's obvious, is they will buy other clubs eventually, but they'll be away from the European leagues. For now.

On what basis do you have such confidence? Suning are reluctant sellers and PIF will pick it up cheap. There are far greater connections between Serie A than EPL. PIF would be flipping both in 5 years in any case, and no chance mags will be in Europe in 5 years.

I have confidence. That's all I'll say.

If you think Suning are willing sellers of a majority stake put a bet on some obscure betting site, seriously.

Like I've said previously Marseille is the club to watch.

And if you think the Saudis are going to "flip" a club just before 2030 vision, more fool you. That's the reason they've purchased a club in the first place
 
I fully expected Howe now with the stupid Cow to be holding a Saudi flag outside the number 9 bar by now.
I really would love it, I tell you love it if this falls through :D

I'll back myself thank you as I have worked with PIF. The Jan window will be telling. If they spend big its sportswashing and may not be flipped. If it is "modest" it's an investment and will be out in 5 years. Eddie Howe, Elliot Dickman and haggling over contracts for backroom staff tell me its the latter.

p.s. I said Suning are reluctant sellers but you have changed that to "willing sellers".

It does prove that money doesn't give you the ability to run a football club. It's been a complete shambles from day 1
What the hell does Stavely know about football ?

Newcastle are a bit like a tramp finding a pound and buying a winning lottery ticket with it. Despite now having money, they’re still struggling to pull the smart lasses.
 
Could be the Tindall wants big money as he thinks he is at a manager grade level.
Whilst the richest club in the World? or not, will not pay out on principle of Mandy saving her pennies.
