    So if they are worth over £20bn and as their wealth just grew by £5bn... how come they don't just buy us outright? I would.

    Thought this deserved a separate thread

    Because its a business opportunity they're willing to invest 10% in that's backed by people way richer than they're.

    If I managed to cobble together 20 billion. I'd just put the money on the table straight off. Sack the board, err I mean Charnley. And in-state us lot. 3 seasons and into the Champions League I guarantee.

    I said this a year ago, why don't them and Staveley buy us without the Sauds. Would have gone through straight away.

    If they just made another £5bn then it's a small part of their new wealth.
    That's what I'd do.

    Same reason they are wanting the 10%... investment.
    Surely if it's good enough for 10% they can up to 90%. A lot of development opportunity will likely fall out of the NUFC takeover so they win both ends potentially.

    This has the potential of its own thread.

    For example, I would like to be Director of Football. I have the right skill set. Sorry Pouncy.

    Chaos as manager would be suicidal. I see him more as Cheif scout.

    Just to be clear I was out on my own with Welshie when I said Jones was a good choice and was buzzing when we signed willock.

    There was plenty of you *****s wanting willock dropped after Brighton.

    I wouldn't want to manage here because the fans are ****s

    I'll let you go on for another thirty pages before coming to the realisation that I'm the only sane choice for manager. I'll pop back in later on for confirmation.
