South American playing in France eh? Neymar... Nothing to do with PIF - just that MA has found out about his Cabaye-esque release clause.
Not arsed mate, I know demonstrable facts are unfashionable these days but call me old fashioned..... They only went down this rabbit hole as they liked the idea of the Captains brain fart that the Saudis are somehow orchestrating transfers at Newcastle despite not owning an actual stake in the club, funny as tbh.
Yeah, but captain is never wrong. So who do we believe? You and your wiki fake news or captain? No brainer.
Quick question - as NUFC is privately owned, how do you KNOW that Saudis, or Staveley, or Reubens, don't already own a stake?
Companies House would have to be notified. I believe there is a 14 day grace period for that but given the timings of the signings etc I suspect that update would already have happened.
So a 9% for each of Stalvey, Ruben 1, Ruben 2, PIF and the New Saudi broadcasting company = 45% share holding and no notifications given?
It really is only a matter of time any anyone that really believes the Saudis are just going to run off with their tails between their legs thus letting Qatar chuckle is off their trolley... Then there's all the evidence to the contrary and now legal proceedings Just a matter of time.
Whilst this could work in theory, I would be astounded if even a small part of that information didn't end up in the media, somehow.
Yeah, this hasn't happened. I think the whole agreement is just drawn up and finalised, it's really up to Mike how heavily involved they are - the media said the consortium were consulted on activity - and then the legal action to push this through. Also interesting information - Mike is looking at KSA & Middle East as good hunting ground for SD expansion, hence why he's 100% committed to making this happen. It's not about NUFC, it's about Mike's partnership opportunity in the Middle East.
which is ironic as I was banging Pouchies lass against his brick wall last weekend. lass has stamina.
