Yeah, so if newcastle take a pfi credit card to buy a new stadium that happens to include 1000 offices then that's fine as long as the credit card doesnt pay for players (but the rental income profit can) then thats okay?

A stadium with a 1000 offices sounds quite interesting, wouldn’t mind seeing the design of that.

It depends how you define okay though I guess. I mean if the PIF genuinely invest in club infrastructure to generate higher revenues and use their funds to ‘somewhat’ grow Toon organically rather than just pump hundreds of millions in transfers every window then it’d be hard to have too many complaints.

Given that Tanguy Ndombele is being released for free this Summer I just want to soak up how delicious this entire wiki entry is:

"On 2 July 2019, Ndombele signed for Tottenham Hotspur in a club-record deal worth €62 million (£55.45 million) plus up to €10 million (£8.97 million) in add-ons, surpassing the previous transfer record set by Davinson Sánchez."

The price of a cheese room, that...
 
Every club’s likely gonna need to take out a loan when building or expanding a stadium though, I highly doubt any club has £500m-£1bn sitting around in order to invest in such. No club would ever realistically be able to expand and/ or grow otherwise.

That credit card however hasn’t - and essentially can’t - be used to just go on a huge spending spree on players and wages for an immediate improvement, just like owners can no longer pump such into that stream either.
Stadiums are one of the biggest commitments in football atm imho
So to be just handed one is a huge advantage over other clubs specially when the taxpayers have paid for their developments whether that be free or massively discounted
Yet some fans forget that
Strange innit

Pretty much lol.

He’s also the guy that failed to capitalise on a huge marketing opportunity by choosing not to have the shirt number 40, especially as watching him play makes you want to fall asleep too.

Tottenham do seem to like a few **** players in their dressing room.. seems a common theme at most clubs. You'd think clubs could find 25 capable players.

These billionaires oil merchants in Toon land aren’t quite interested in success like the Russian Oligarch was and the dodgy City owners are

Newcastle have offered Burnley £16m for 21-year-old English goalkeeper James Trafford, but the Clarets want £20m. (Mail)

Newcastle you say....I'd make it £40M, seems fair.

Newcastle remind me of Liverpool, the people, scousers n Geordies, 2 insecure species. Spend a bit of time there now when I go see my woman(she not a scouser phew)…they tend to give their infrastructure more worth than it is…to any other onlooker it just looks like a pile of ****. We got libraries and supermarkets with more character than that ugly contraption with the graffiti on it.
