I think it’s extremely difficult to crack the top 4 let alone dominate. With this amount of money. Actually yes, it is a given. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only need to get enough people to fill their stadium each home game, after that it doesn't matter how big it is. They have a massive catchment in order to fill the stadium each game Another question though is why did Mansoor buy Man City, when arguably the biggest most successful football club in the world was a stones throw.

What is the difference between the amount of money they have and NSWE has. It is not a given. The club needs to be managed correctly and the owners need to be prepared to invest the money.

OutByEaster? Posted October 7, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2021 We now have both #ENICout and #FSGout trending on Twitter. If the collective arseholes of those fanbases are flapping to this extent, imagine what's happening in their boardrooms. The next couple of weeks will be fascinating to watch - both in terms of what Newcastle decide to do next and in terms of what reaction comes from those sides that will feel most threatened.

Yes it is Sportswashing and the human rights aspect is disgusting but there is also a huge amount of jealousy and blinkering of what NSWE are doing at Villa Yes, I’m not worried about our position, I trust NSWE wholeheartedly - the plan doesn’t change. Neither does our ambition. I don’t know why some want Newcastle to suddenly do so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll enjoy having good crowds on matchday, but it's not a financial game changer for the Saudi's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 1 hour ago, foreveryoung said: So you wouldn't have them take over Villa. Get the **** out of here pal Absolutely not. Same with UAE and Qatar. Nation states, especially with dubious to abysmal human rights records should not be allowed to own clubs - that includes PSG and City. There’s bigger principles at stake in a morally bankrupt sport. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted October 7, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2021 Newcastle will have a sponsored training ground, car partner, tyre partner, energy partner, brewing partner, telecoms partner, construction partner et al in very quick time. There will be companies queuing up right now to associate themselves with Newcastle and get into the good books of the Saudi royal family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
