There’s summit seriously off with this “takeover”

Staveley predicted they would be challenging for the league title in 5 years but they won’t pay the going rate for players.

Not a good look at all….

It was that distinction that persuaded the Premier League to . When it held up the Saudi-led takeover last year, the league had not, it turned out, been worried that Saudi Arabia was pirating its content through a rogue television broadcaster, or that it had banned BeIN Sports, one of league’s key network partners, from operating in its territory, or even about the kingdom’s jailing of women’s rights activists or the persecution of dissidents or the chemical castration of gay people or the brutal, unrelenting war in Yemen or the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

No, the Premier League just needed to be reassured that the Mohammed bin Salman would not interfere with the decisions of the Mohammed bin Salman who .

At a second division side at 17/18 he scored 22 goals and 6 assists in 2457 mins so a goal or assist every 87 mins. Clearly a talent.

I also see it's a quote from the player himself being compared to Haaland

"Such comparisons motivate me and give me energy," Sesko told reporters in Slovenia when asked about comparisons to Haaland. "They do not represent pressure. I will listen and learn so I can be even better than he is.

"My team-mates at the club tell me that

and I are very similar, especially in terms of speed. Most of them even tell me that I'm better than him!"

This sums up the scruffy fckers that come on here.

But there are plenty more — a supporters’ trust survey last year found that

of the Saudi takeover — who are willing to turn a blind eye to that ethical dilemma, to assert that their new owner is no worse than Manchester City’s, or to point out that Liverpool is sponsored by a bank that has been accused of laundering the profits of drug cartels, or to suggest that since Britain is happy to sell arms to the Saudis, it might as well sell its soccer teams, to claim that when everything is rotten there is nothing to do but succumb to putrefaction.

And there are others still — the ones in the thobes, the ones with the Saudi flag in their social media avatars, the ones who have issued scrawls of abuse to Khashoggi’s widow for daring to challenge the morality of the takeover — who are perfectly happy to embrace it, to do precisely what the Saudis want them to do.

Great with numbers this lad. £200k a week is 1.4m per year.

She did say that, however the judge in her Barclays court case also described her as having a “tendency to exaggerate” and no one ever arrives at your football club announcing that they’re about to completely fuck it over.

The way the mags, a group largely made up of grown adults, have absolutely fawned over her is ridiculous. Just look at the sort people who are always getting involved in football, and look at the sort of company she’s kept for most of her life. You’d have to be born yesterday to take someone like that at her word. Either that or you’d have to be a north east sports reporter like George Caulkin

Love this from the NYT about Newcastle fans: “They have developed a reputation for being equal parts demanding and delusional, for believing their club uniquely deserving of a restoration to a place of prominence in English soccer’s firmament that it never, really, occupied in the first place.”

Cannot beat that as a description.

Any mags on here want to argue otherwise?
 
When Project Saud is languishing in 15th position they'll be in complete denial about their love for MBS and Queen Stav.
It will happen as it certainly looks at the moment that golf is getting all of the love and attention and not to mention the money. If MBS was genuinely looking to boost this lot he would have spent the money he's spent on some has been golfer on a true marquee player.
