This. They might just hang on to them to keep them ticking along as a PL club ..which id take over risking getting proper owners.

Agreed,
They don't even bother visiting the club anymore. It was always a case of just owning a club in the PL, rather than making them serious contenders.
They could give a toss.

At no point are Newcastle or even football mentioned by the Saudis in that statement

I don’t think the PIF will pull out of the mags anytime soon but they lost interest a while back really.

Domestic entertainment, for tourism.
Once they got the World Cup, the Saudis had everything they wanted.

I'd be disappointed if they sold. There's plenty of American hedge funds who would be desperate to throw some money at it and could run them better.

Yep. Plus the fact UEFA seems to be open to offering the Saudi league a spot in the champions league at some point.

Inject it into my veins when PIF do fuck all this summer with them and the Mags start saying they should never have been accepted as owners due to who they are

It will end up like the Eurovision Song Contest.
Everyone will be in and we will get nil points.

There are but it’s worth remembering the mags are pretty fucked financially.
Definitely Maybe

Said for ages the worst thing to happen to the Mags was Ronaldo falling out with Ten Hag. He became a free agent, nobody other than the Saudis could afford/wanted him and him going there led to thousands of kids walking around in snidey Al Nassr tops from DHGate. The following summer the PIF decided to plough money into the Saudi league - if you're going to throw money at football with the aim of increasing tourism into SA, why would you prioritise a non-elite club in North East England when you could bring aging superstars into your own country and draw international viewers onto the domestic league? They've barely given the Mags a second thought since.

Yep and they begged for this. They chased Mike Ashley out of town but would just have to stew in their own filth and accept this
This lads hilarious….

Just heard that the "NUFC Against Sportswashing" group have just cleaned Amazon out of printer ink with the latest news.
Going to need it with all the application forms they'll need in the coming months
By the end of the summer every mag in the Strawberry will be claiming they were a founder member.
