The thing is that they are not bothered, and whatever the EPL say, there is no one person named as owner. Obviously Bin Salman dictates everything, but he has no more interest in football than I do in one legged caber tossing. Their absence will expose the obvious fact; another club has been kidnapped to shine up a repulsive state.
Man City will get a £4000 fine and Brum will get a 10 year ban, £50,000,000 fine and have to enter back into football through the Sunday parks leagues
Franchise football. Ripping the heart out of local clubs and applying an investment-heavy template. The mags don't see what is happening. I give it 2 or 3 years before the owners start discussing the benefits of moving the training ground to the South East
As unthinkable as it is...could easily happen. The Club based in London and the south,travelling back by private jet for each home match. Mags'll want an emergency Parliamentary debate about that!
The idiot mags will be all for it if it means they can attract a higher class of player (let's face it, location plays a massive part in recruitment) but they won't realise that their club is no longer Newcastle, it's Saudi Franchise United FC and has zero links to the North East apart from 19 games in a white elephant of a stadium
