PIF sports funding

[Just jam]

Ah so its bats thats the issue, not the numerous planning issues, the fact they don't own the land, the grade 1 listing's etc.

Its the bats fault.

You couldn't make it up

They’ll be shouting at the comic shop before the match soon as there’s a Batman poster in the window or something

Actually I take that back about the Gordon thread I can't see that anymore so I have no idea how many posts it has my mistake.

You seem obsessed with the Mags mind ?

Frankly I hope they stay. They seem about as bothered in Newcastle as Keir Starmer is about vetting his members of staff. I.e negligent. If they were to sell then someone shelling out far nigh a billion quid on a football club will probably be significantly more invested. And might actually sort a ground out and buy the werld class playas they want. Far better to keep this lot in place who seem happy with the hands off, mañana mañana, Mike Ashley vibe

I think the same

So much guff online right now about how committed pif are to Newcastle. It’s a proper “who you are trying to convince, me or you” exercise.

Very convenient timing

I think they'd find it hard to get that billion pound asking price for a club as far north as Newcastle.

It would be interesting to see if PIF would be as disinterested as they are now if they had bought someone like Chelsea, and all the prestige of owning a club in London instead.

I'm not pretending and it only took a minute to sign up. And NUFC forums aren't the best place to ask questions to SAFC fans.

Piss off you stupid, gravy-stained gonk

Im making a note of that and intend to use it at work tomorrow.

Ideally in a situation where it might be relevant.... but hey ho. Ill use it elsewhere if needed. Literary genius like that should not be limited to a football forum

Why Aye Man's kryptonite will be leafy greens

His pals he sat next to at the derby will supply him with Greggs sozzij rerls to counter this, his alliance is known as The League of Unhygeinic Gentlemen

 

[ned_werby]

No and No.

Two lies in three words, impressive.

I think the ideal scenario is that PIF continues to own them, but invests the bare minimum to keep them going.

What would be the point of that?

 

[Thatheaderman]

Nee blah blah been on yet.

These mags are not like they used to be .

 

[si73]

Wha've got Vinicius Joonya chasing the bats

And Ousmane Dembélé protecting the newts...well until we swooped in to sign him thanks to KLD.

 

[PickNickering]

Their favourite striker wears wankers hats
They always lose to the Black Cats
They can’t move ground because of bats
What a bunch of sad deluded twats

 

[BoshItLikeBardo]

Typical bloody bats wanting to exist in their natural habitat. They just divvent undastand man.

 

[Roose Bolton]

What would be the point of that?

Funny innit?

 

[Elmers]

Stinks to me of kicking cans down the road
Hope is the mouthpiece probably on the payroll

The names Herpe, Craig Herpe-es

So near and yet sonar…

An article in today's Telegraph spells it out
“It’s not about the PIF pulling back from global investing altogether. But it will become a lot more selective and a lot more tied to domestic priorities.”

This means fewer investments into the likes of Premier League football club Newcastle United, and more into companies that feed back into Saudi Arabia’s internal efforts to reduce its dependence on oil revenue.
