So will Beheady be self isolating again for the Arsenal game?

Can trace symptoms back 4 days (IIRC). Presume he tested positive on Friday so can trace back to Monday. 10 days would take him to Thursday. But a bit dicey saying he had symptoms all week and took training.
 

Do you think minimus will stick around in the championship? Or will he get his move to one of the European giants more befitting of his self declared talents?
No way will he stick around in the championship. I could see him at inter next season and to be fair think he'd do well in the Italian league
 
I’m not convinced the Saudi money will be hoyed about as expected. They’ve haggled over the price, gone in with partners rather than the whole 100%, and apparently baulked over £200k towards the backroom staff.

Even if they do, these elite players have got to want to go there too. The top level players will want to be in Europe, unless they get daft money but that tells you their heart isn’t really in it a la Robinho to Man City.
 
Completely agree, if they arent going to fling cash at it the mags are in trouble. All I'm saying is that, if they are going to, a relegation won't be the end of the world for them. Didn't expect it to be such a controversial opinion tbh!

Your right in that many of them will take relegation in their stride after a few tweets from the two lunatics who are running the show - expects tweets along the lines of:

" Ashley and Bruce left us in a position we couldn't escape from - it's still our house and we are going to build it from the foundations up and it will be the biggest and best house that the toon army has ever seen "

They want a profit, will sell up in about 4 year with a good bit of infrastructure in place for a buyer

Let’s face it they never have and never will blame Benitez for getting them relegated so they aren’t going to blame their new overlords

What we don’t know for certain is how far into this the KSA want to get. My opinion is it’s sportswashing pure and simple. If they wanted to make a shit ton of money there are better things to invest in and they know it. They will have an idea of how much it costs and how long it may take to get champions league qualification. The only other question is how much money they are willing to squander to clean up their image. One thing to remember while we are talking about image is that they weren’t well,liked before this and now most fans will use the Saudis against them, in spite of the media telling us all to love them. So, to effectively sports wash it would have to be their image in Europe and the Far East. Which brings us back to champions league qualification.
Interesting times ahead.
