I actually had thought of that. Toffee fans were all complaining when Rafa joined and wanted him out. If Amanda seduces Rafa to return to the Toon the Toffee fans will no doubt be moaning at the club for letting him go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 The athletic are reporting that they've got £250 million set a side for the next few years. I'm not 100% convinced they are going to go crazy or actually can go crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be perfect if the 'investment fund' actually functioned as an investment - 17th place the target every yer - perpetual Ashley 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Sadly it's not an investment as much as a promotional piece. It's sportswash 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal is done, and that's not gonig to change, but currently 19 clubs are united against this and the last thing the new owners will want is any form of rule changes to investment that shifts the goalposts.

The Saudi dynasty were in control of the majority of the current Saudi Arabia before America was even founded, it is probably understandable why people who follow Saudi Arabia and the Royal family get wound up with you if you refer to it as occupied Arabia.

Quick Google suggests it's largely due to Riise signing for them and roughly 1% of their population supports them. Nah, it goes back further than that. Loads of middle aged Norwegian men used to (still do?) wear Kevin Keegan/Kenny Dalgliesh pajamas, and have passed their perversions on to their offspring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
