its not complete yet mind , so as an nufc fan it wont surprise me if something stoos it, but if a pandemic hasnt they really really do want it
Yes mate... The Sun have confirmed that Sheikh Ratil bin Rohl is the figurehead behind the second group
... harsh ... but probably true ... Keegan should have stuck with what had put them up there. Ranieri did just that with us and the bond built within that 15 or so players carried us through.
can someone go on the sunderland board and offer them my most sincere condolences please ... their lives just spiritually ended
Looks like a big chunk of money has changed hands, for it to fall through now would be odd. Welcome to the big time, nothing’s changed since the 90’s bro, you still report to us.
I think if a global pandemic didnt stop put this off then they really really want nufc. tbh I think it would take a good number of years before we compete for top 6 and really to just have a go at top half .. 8th to 10th and try and win a cup will do for us mate... cheers fella
The money that appears to have changed hands is from Ashley to the consortium..... Seems odd to me, as does the Saudis wanting or needing a partner and buying the club as a consortium.
Saudi’s needing a partner makes sense, as they’d possibly hit some stumbling blocks going solo with regards to FPP. Still don’t see a Saudi link though in all the stuff I skimmed over. Loan is more than likely a transfer of debt owing to Mike Ashley. He’s effectively loaning the new owner the funds and not Newcastle United anymore. Seems legit. Apparently a deposit has been placed as well, not sure by who like.
it's the debt nufc owes ashley most likely... It's pretty much a done deal,but as a nufc fan it wont surprise me if ashley changes his mind or gets greedy. still paying the 350 , so its defo the saudis ...
Still don’t get it. Why would a supposed multi Billionaire set of owners need to take a transfer of the loan?
