That's all very well put.
The Saudis are like a wealthy man with dozens of expensive suits ...
... Newcastle clearly aren't flavour of the month and just gathering dust in the wardrobe.
They might be taken out, at some point, dusted off and tried on for size.
But they're never going to be a favourite or worn every week.
They've sold their soul to get nowhere and now daren't even complain
They’re desperate for an upgrade at RW but they did sign a striker (Osula from Sheffield United) who’s nowhere near ready for regular PL football
Their summer window was hilarious.

Why are they buying from Bournemouth and Brentford ...
... when it's supposed to be Bayern and Barcelona

I think the term is "giving other teams a chance!"
Saudi investment fund is ‘scaling back its overseas investments’
Imagine selling your soul for nothing. Painful.

I think we have to be a bit careful. The Saudis certainly have money to burn,but they're not fools. A £500m loss in the Mags wouldn't even touch their back pocket,but they're focussing on a strategy,which they think will be to their benefit in the long term. Bailing out of the Mags,for example,would affect the confidence and trust in which they might be held for other deals elsewhere. They won't want that.
Charlie Chaplin couldn’t have done a better job at painting himself into a corner tbh.
They made such a song and dance, literally, about the Saudis buying the club, that they can’t complain now without looking even stupider … they daren’t upset their masters in case they reign things back even more … they’re worse off than under Ashley but can’t protest about their owner’s corruption because that would mean accepting everything that they denied.
Seriously, dancing for the cameras with tea towels on their heads …
… then putting them back in the kitchen drawer when their masters told them off
FFS lads, you’re from the NE … have some pride.

Why do they need another striker when they’ve got Christian Ronaldo cleaning the boots? Did they not register him in time?
My brother is a mag but also a very politically/socially conscious person. When they were taken over he was happy to put all his morals in the bin for the sake of promised riches. I told him they (the fans) would find themselves trapped on the wrong side of history. That didn't matter though because they were going to win the lot apparently. Pleased to see it's going well for them
When the Saudis took over they had a 5 year plan, we also had a five year plan, we have 1 year left and are well on target.
They’ve changed theirs to a 15 year plan and still believe they will have Ronaldo, Messi and MBappe by then

Probably will have Ronaldo and Messi.
They both be nearly 50 like.
The main chance Chelsea have of winning this match …
… is that Newcastle aren’t very good.
I have a mate, very educated and exceptional company, ( particularly to an oik such as me!) who is so disinterested in football that he once asked me about the F A cup, "Do they still do that?"
He's probably the most informed person I know, especially in geo political matters if it can be put like that. This business with Saudi buying that lot tickled him a while ago and he sort of looked into it and took notice on my account.
He was never persuaded by the big drums that were banging and said that it was probably a medium term involvement , partly to do with attracting the WC in 2034, and partly washing their bloodied name a bit.
He said to me around early September that these Profit rules don't just stop you from spending money. They are an excuse not to do so. As I say, football leaves him cold, but with other stuff, he's right way more often than he's wrong

Build them a new ground (say about 60k+ seats £600+ million valuation), but be thr owner. Rent it to the mags, say £8 - 10 million a year and you've got a nice little asset there. Flog the mags and you still own the ground and gave a regular revenue stream coming in maintaining the asset with our the costs of running the club.
They wanted a load of land in NE1. They got it.
They give not a single **** about the football team, canny vessel for them to advertise their companies on the shirt front and sleeve, the stadium and even the Stack out front (on some of that land…)
They aren’t considering ‘leaving St James due to restrictions with development’, they want the ****ing land it’s on, which the club don’t even own of course.
Easy bought if there’s no stadium on it mind.
