Genie Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Is it a done deal? I remember the last deal was “done” and “24 hours away” for about 3 months before it collapsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know if it was happening at Villa I wouldn't be finding any joy in it. I bet if the same buyers came along when we were languishing under Lerner then most villa fans would have been for it.

Jareth Posted October 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 7, 2021 I can't fault the NUFC fans, they had no power to change things under Ashley, and now no power under the Saudis - yet Ashley = intense misery and Saudis = dreamland. They've every right to enjoy this. If they start defending human rights abuses though that's a different ball game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 It’s amazing how the press are just falling over themselves about it. It’s the public investment fund of the bloody Saudi state! All they want is some BS narrative about long suffering Newcastle fans and playing fantasy football with transfer rumours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 My biggest frustration is that it's another team with shit loads of money that we need to compete with. I wouldn't be surprised if Conte is their manager by the end of the month and then they manage to spend £150m in January. Pretty sure they will have many ways of circumnavigating FFP.

His Name Is Death Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I mean... good grief. They're about to become an even more loathsome club than Man City. I'm sure the fans will just respond with "boring" or "cry more" when taken up on it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it as 6 points a season that'll be harder to get (and it's not like we always got them before). My biggest concern is on transfers, they will be going after our targets so that'll add another layer of difficulty. But I see an opportunity here - NUFC will disrupt the order and weaken a few teams around them, less so us. And maybe it'll be a psychological blow to the likes of Spurs, and cause less investment at some other top 10 clubs who may now fall back to being happy in the prem but nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Game's been gone a long time but it's gone over the edge of the waterfall now with the Saudis involved. Abu Dhabi and Saudis both pouring bottomless pits of dirty money into a league where clubs like Norwich routinely struggle to spend enough to even survive. Disgusting. Such a shame Newcastle weren't relegated before this could happen, not that it would have made a huge difference, but the EFL is way more serious about FFP than the Premier League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
