PIF sports funding


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 :lol:

This is already happening

From a mag forum:

"Can't spend their money so what's the point? May at well have less insanely wealthy but far less morally reprehensible owners 👍



We've had our trophy, we've had our fun, now fuck off back to the desert."
 
As per mag thread on parsnip, they'll get more than rat boy is worth, is the problem. Still funny he who rates himself so highly , wishes to leave though.

That interview after we kicked their arses again, he said he had 2 men on him but the others couldn't find the extra man , that was sure sign.
That’s relative though. If reinvested, they will be spending it on a signing who will likely cost, in the current market, more than they are worth.
 
"The Newcastle United Code was introduced as the foundation of the club’s culture. It comprises the core values of One Club, Excellence, Relentless, Accountable and Integrity, supported by behaviours and principles designed to apply to all staff across the organisation. LM provided an update on the one-hundred-day review, noting that the new chief executive is now in place and that the Newcastle United Code emerged from this process."

A few weeks later they sold the Stadium to a Saudi controlled company that sits entirely outside of the group which owns nufc. The excellence, integrity and principles are positively flowing. The whoppers that follow the team don't appear to realise what a potentially shit move it is for the football club to become totally detached from the stadium. Puts them in the same company as other notable and troubled outfits such as Derby County, Wimbledon, Bolton Wanderers and Coventry City.
Fucks sake:lol: That ‘code’ is a crime against the English language. They can’t even do wanky corporatism properly:lol::lol:

Are they selling a stake to themselves?

They’re fucked when it comes to transfers. They harp on about being the richest club in the world etc so when a selling clubs says “fine we’ll have an extra 20-30 mil on top of his actual price please if you’re so rich”they piss and moan on
Deservedly so
 
He has been this season, alongside Hall, I would say.
I thought that, but then watched you's a couple of times lately (including the derby as one of them) and thought Barnes was a bit anonymous whereas Gordon (for all his faults and he's a dick) was at least involved.

Few mags I know think Barnes is someone who scores a few - not a skill to be critiqued - but if he isn't getting a goal he's got no influence on the game.

Obviously you'll know better than me like.
 
The Visitors man, god help them, this is quoted in the article;

"Lee Marshall presented the Club’s long-term vision, outlining the ambition to become the number one football club in the world."

And the idiot fans and Saudi ownership swallow it.

Evidence of how that club is ran shows otherwise and indeed actually the opposite.

It's Short mark 2 up there just with even more waste. 🍿 🍿 🍿
To be fair, when you’ve got disinterested owners, restrictions on spend, an ageing squad with depreciating assets and your better players wanting away, a ground you’ve sold to yourself on land that neither of you own, no plans to change that, Jack Ross, Eddies cousin spending shit loads on poor players, a deluded and mentally ill fanbase, a fawning press that adds daily fuel to the delusion, a famus third rate cup win (I heard on Radio Newcastle yesterday that Gordon’s price would be even higher as he’d won a trophy!!!!), etc, etc, etc then surely they only need to sit and wait and keep bumping their gums about being ‘massive’ and they’ll surely become the biggest club in the world in 4 years time! 😳

Great summary👏
The classic empty corporate upsell from the execs to a stupid boss so they can keep their salaries for 2-3 years before they find another mug to take them on. Just like a popular Netflix show we all watched ..
