Davkaus Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 9 minutes ago, villa4europe said: again that's nonsense they are in investment fund, they dont have £260bn sat in a bank, they have investments, shares and assets, of that £260bn portfolio newcastle will be £300m, £45bn of it is in SoftBank, £3.5bn of it is in Uber, they own a bit of Disney, facebook, IBM, boeing, citigroup, BP...they've have their fingers absolutely everywhere its like our owners money is tied up in NS ownership of adidas, he's not going to sell adidas to fun us any time soon, the saudi's wont be selling their share of uber to buy mbappe Man City's owners didn't need to put all £26bn of their assets in to the club to take it to the top. Just about a billion so far, apparently. A certain amount of that £260bn, almost certainly the majority, will be fairly illiquid and tied up in assets. But at that level of wealth a couple of billion becomes loose change. They won't need to sell anything to buy Mbappe, they'll have more than enough disposable cash to buy whatever the hell they like. The only thing stopping them is FFP... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Nasseff has 5 billion cash in the bank. He's "worth" 5BN. All of his would be tied up in assets too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Also the Reuben brothers have a 10% share and are worth 16bil themselves so .. Anyone thinking they won't be challengers only need to look at City and PSG who not only have become constant league winners , they also dragged Real,Barca etc into spending more and more who had no oil money backing have have left them bankrupt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stevo985 Posted October 7, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2021 Everyone saying "don't worry they'll hire the wrong people" etc Sorry but you're kidding yourself. That much money will find a way. They'll chuck money at it until they're at the top. They're the next Man City if this goes through. make no mistake 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City have shown just how toothless FFP is if you’ve the cash to just push on. Spend what’s needed on lawyers and fight it all the way. You’ll eventually get a slap on the wrists and a fine, which doesn’t bother you anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Be interesting to see which top players will be convinced to jump on this bonanza by their agents. Best, best case scenario for them they will be in the CL the season after next. Not everyone will be willing to come there for the rebuild playing with Longstaffs for a season and a half, no matter how much they get paid. A lot of player will of course. Raiola is promising to make Haaland the first £1m a week player but Haaland is super dedicated and professional and I suspect he'd want to join Real or maybe but probably not Man City. He's young so he can always join Newcastle in 3 years if this project gets going in the right direction. For me Haaland is THE player they should go for if possible, and they do love a #9 up there... Hope he goes elsewhere thou. M'bappé is another one I doubt will take a massive step down at this time. Wonder who they'll bring in to run the stuff and if they'll go the galacticos route or the smart one. Some quality players in Pedri, Fati, Kessie, Pogba, M'bappé, Dybala, Rudiger and so on who have not signed new deals yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit at first but yeah I'm not too bothered. It will just be another abnoxious fan base to replace one of the existing ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt the PL would find something to keep them in the league. Be it a promoted team that done something wrong or one of the clubs that avoided the drop. Or they'll just expand the league temporarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually think they would, but it doesn't matter anyway, they'll just spend a year battering the Championship and then win the PL the year after.

I have little doubt that the PL looked the other way when it comes to literally everything to do with SA and this deal, but this conspiracy theory about unprecedented action in a hypothetical scenario is a bit much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
