Ffs it's not one bloke travelling around the world checking in on his own investments. He will have ppl working for him day to day at the club. They will then report to somebody higher how it's all going and they will likely report to one of his advisors etc. You know how business works right? Mr Tesco doesn't stock all the shelves and work on every til...

yes they will have people at the club reporting to the higehr ups..my point is..stavely could well be that person at the club..and then she mwill report to someone,..who reports to someone..
the guy who controls the fund..wot be getting daily or even weekly reports..his underlings underlings will..its much too small for anything more than that..my day job is as a wealth manager for someone who is richer than (for example) ellis short..now this guy is well known for his main business..i have nowt to do with that business..i maage the other stuff, but its a amount well over £100m..and i only speak to him once a month..and yet its 10 per cent of his wealth..
tnewcastle would be less than one tenth of a percent of the saudis wealth..you do the maths from there..
 
@Grumpy Old Man I'd imagine at least in the interim they will ask Charnley to stay on and run the club. In current climate it will be impossible to get the likely structure they will want in place and have proper handovers etc. Again that's me guessing, all of this is guesswork.

I think youre absolutely right. But then again who has the same level of investment Man City has had? I dont think any club in the world has and dont expect Newcastle to.

However, thats not to say that the level of investment wont be of a level that 99.99% of clubs in the world can only dream of and a more than adequate amount (whilst remaining within FFP rules) to make a difference to a lower table premier league club like Newcastle, and turn them into contenders for a European place in 12-24 months.

Total guesswork.

Based on facts. Not sky sports news. Reporter soundbites but facts you don't know that.
 
If this happens, I don't think Newcastle will be at St James Park in 6-7 years time, if there is a glimmer of success, there will be a new stadium built to house the additional demand, i'm not an expert on it but I do believe that the current ground can't be extended. Didn't Ashley own (or sell off) the land next to the train station too?

You'd hope the development of Strawberry place has been added to the deal to allow expansion. If not I'd imagine you are right.

We made cup finals, played regularly in Europe and got to the Europa League Quarter finals in my life. It's not ridiculous when we were quite far ahead of teams like Tottenham to expect not to get relegated. Ashley was a shocking owner without ambition and without a clue - look at fuckers like Wise and Kinnear ffs. Like I've already stated in the comment you quoted, I'm happy with midtable.

Semi Final, Drogba murdered us

Louise Taylor in the Guardian say that Yasir al-Ramayyan, the governor of PIF, is expected to become chairman, with David Reuben on the board (once he resigns from QPR, of course). Charnley may be too closely tied to Ashley to want to stay or for the Saudis to keep, though he undoubtedly has the knowledge of the club. Also, is he not toxic as far as your fans are concerned?

I don't think she'll be scouting players, mate.

You'll have to remind me of Khaldoon Al Mubarak's involvement in football before he became chairman of Manchester City.

I didn't see they will sign them, I am saying they have the spending power to try and get them.

Don't just think that because they are based in the N/E, Top, top players won't want to go there, that is complete bollocks.

Top players won’t want to come up here it’s facts. Say if Newcastle wanted a player with a London team, Milan or someone in Basque- they won’t want to move up here. Like it or not it’s a massive influence.
