    So I've taken some time out today to investigate this bloke Mauriss. He appears to live on a suburb in Brea, California, on an estate in a detached house. Not a ranch, not Beverly Hills.

    He set up ClearTV in the UK using a bloke who I'm actually connected to on LinkedIn. That bloke's net worth is listed as £1k. That's not a typo, he's literally just a guy in IT.

    He's not in ANY rich list, anywhere. There's no news, pictures, or links to him. He created his own bio using Wordpress in 2014, where he has a couple of posts talking about tips on starting a business and how he loves his daughters.

    ClearTV aren't a TV company. A document from 2018, with Mauriss' signature, has their annual revenues listed as less than $1m.

    None of this has been discovered or covered by the UK media.

    thats my point.

    He has cash, he can do it, but we choose not too. It's ****ing dead the place honestly, it would be significantly easier to swallow if we werent once a top 4 side.

    We've seen the glittering heights, now we sellin dope for our next meal nigga.

    Are you still convinced the Saudis will pass? I watched some lawyer on youtube saying she can't see any reason it could fail...

    Why?

    He doesn't put that much in to it we essentially run ourselves.

    If someone bought the club, but didn't have any money left, the new sponsorship deals we would secure instead of getting nothing in return for the sports direct branding would be more significant.

    bro, there's clubs who aint been anything special for like 30+ years and still crave that sweet nectar.

    Everton, for example. <whistle>

    The wolf of wall street should buy us, but I think he's circa 150 mill in debt...

    Still got more money than Mauriss. And more likely to pass the test than PIF.

    He said he wants to emulate Liverpools model. He said he wants to improve our youth setup and training facilities with the emphasis on creating our own players and being self sufficient. He also said he wants a main club with lots of feeder clubs in different leagues around the world, adding a new club to the portfolio every year.

    Does that sound like someone who doesn't have any money.

    I've seen about 150 million of your essays on this site over the past 6 months mate and I think 2 of them have been correct.

    let's wait and see.

    Baggage? If that's an issue for you I suggest you walk away from PL footy altogether. None of the owners are clean! They've all crossed lines of one description or another to get where they are. So I would suggest we go with whoever is likely to give us the best. Given how the Saudis operate, I don't think there are much better owners out there.

    I don't have anything against this American guy either. Don't know much about him, could be fine. It doesn't matter if they are billionaires. We have one of those and he's a ****. Sunderland had one and he was useless.

    To me though, the Saudi bid would offer the most comfort that **** will get done right. As long as Newcastle come out better off as a club and a city I couldn't give a rats ass.

    This all day long. I still maintain it’s more important we have the structure but the corporate contacts. Ashley brings cheap **** to the table at a premier league football club. No decent quality companies want to be associated with a ****er like him. There is just to much **** under the bridge.

    Now that the WTO report has established conclusively that the source of beoutQ was not the Saudi state this takeover is happening. It was never in question.

    Make no mistake - Qatar lost and this explains their smear campaign over the past few weeks.
