They're all the same, mate. They're just two nameless, pointless pawns moving about the chessboard. It's the hands of people like Al Khalifa, John W Henry, the Glazers, etc., guiding their every move. They're the issue, and the irony is that's precisely what all NUFC fans are crying about.

I wish the whole ****ing lot was burnt to the ground. Salary caps, regulated agents, squad limits, broadcast regulation to spread it across terrestrial, caps on sponsorship deals, meaningful financial measures.

The game's gone. If the Saudi's ever did come in, so what? Is that Newcastle United? I don't think it is. Just another step towards zero-g multiball soccer, but sponsored by Aramco.


It'll be better for the city and the mood of the people, so let's hope for the best.

The frustration is that they can't just come in a bulldoze their way to the top anyway. It has to be done correctly and within the rules.

250 million over 5 years is not going to turn us into man City... Ashley spent half that in 2. 5.

Wait a sec, lads, let me get my takeover calendar.

20th July, 27th July, start of season, end of transfer window, Xmas, Jan transfer window, "safety secured". I think I've got them all for the next 10 months at least.
