Hold on, they were just piggy backing the rich blokes then, you were crowing about them being worth 18Bn!

They can still invest and build then club.

Obviously they're in it for other reasons.. worth a lit of money.. I'm guessing they will be involved in development of area and once the club's worth x amount they will sell their 10% to the Saudis.

wouldn’t the 18bn they bring make Newcastle the richest club owners in the PL anyway. Then nobody could complain/pl risk it’s income streams and sponsorships over pirate viewing

Yeah **** it....lets do that. The Saudi's can then sponsor our kit and stadium and pay us £500m a year for the privilege !! **** YOU PL, **** YOU MONKEY GLOVES!

I’m not sure what you’re referring to there. What I know is that he told me about Newcastle and the Saudis well before it was in the public domain, and I have no reason to doubt that he was passing on info in good faith.

Referring to the rumours associated with the Saudi Royals buying United relatively recently and Stan distancing himself from the club in disgust. If he knew they were buying Newcastle he’d have just ignored the rumour.
 
I dare say the stuff I’ve read does make it incredibly difficult for the premier league to allow the takeover to go through without any negative consequences to them.

I can’t see how they can resolve it. Allow it and BEIN sports sue the premier league. By allowing the takeover it’s effectively like the premier league saying that Saudi can broadcast illegally. This then makes the deal they have with BEIN a complete shambles.

The deal imo is not done at all.

I don’t remember him saying anything with regards to that, so you’ll have to direct me to the posts.

Why are they just not investing in developing the area then? At least we all knew that Moshiri was in it with Usmanov to make more cash on the redevelopment than the club
 
Manquillos contract ends in a month and is agent is talking to La Liga teams.
Good luck to the lad, fans don't seem to want to keep him so if I were him I'd go home. I reckon he'll get to a decent team and in a few years he'll make the Spain squad as a back up player and most of our fans will go on about how amazing it is as he was sh!t for us.
