If this goes through you'd expect them to massively improve in form and buy in January. They aren't going down this season for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money will be there for the PL sooner or later. Then again these guys are used to get away with murder scot-free despite blatant evidence against them.

Jareth Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Gerrard for manager? He's fav at the moment. If so, does that spell out ambition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I just want to see it fall through again and watch the Geordies in a deep melt down again. Too much to ask? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Just look at how the Saudis use WWE for propaganda and sportswashing (from 2019 but it will be even bigger in scale with Newcastle). being LGBT or a feminist is extremism FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I think it's kind of highlighted the absurdity of it all, for me. I don't want to be like Man City. So we'll always play second, third, 4th, or somewhere around 8th fiddle to these bastards. What's the goal, to push on year on year and really "earn it" with our billionaires? Ask the likes of Norwich or Brentford fans, they see us with our mediocre 6th richest owners in very much the same vein as Chelsea and co.We're just not as successful. We can certainly take the moral high ground when it comes to state sanctioned murder, but not on much else. Long story short, I'm going to watch the ice hockey for the first time this weekend 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 So what happens when the Saudis break their ‘legally binding’ agreement? They gonna kick them out of the league? Fines? Shameful, shameful, craven Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Just so we're clear, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have promised they won't do something. And if they break their word there will presumably be a fine. **** lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 One positive to come from this will be that all the Top 6 will push desperately for a strict, enforceable salary/transfer cap. No way are they going to let Newcastle just waltz in and steal a CL spot without a fight. Villa is already built well for when that gets enacted. The key to winning under strict salary limits is to invest heavily in youth since their first couple of contracts will always be significantly less than an equally talented vet. Our youth setup has to be one of the best in the PL right now. UTV! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Be interesting to see how the PL will handle any Jamal Khashoggi banners at stadiums. I hope to see a lot of em. Edited October 7, 2021 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
