Yes, but I showed them my phone, they had a read through the threads and politely declined any involvement. We have to just work through it on the forum, like the old days before everyone became a pansie snowflake
Having been announced as NUFC sporting director less than 3 minutes ago and not yet through the PL owners and directors test ..... It can be confirmed that Dan Ashworth has done more in his 3 minutes since being appointed by the club than Joe Kinnear did in his entire time.
Just imagine it like we’re all Shelbys; and Mag and Roy are 2 Danny Whizzbangs old school counselling
Dan down, sponsor(s) next I reckon, then official kit launch, Allow the new pitch a week or so of watering before we start getting new players on it for photo's holding the new shirt.
@magdad you were bang on man, fair play. Fantastic news. They’ll be delighted to get this out the way.
I’m really confused, how have City signed Haaland before the transfer window? Did it happen in January or something?
You can sign players on a pre contract deal. They just can't be registered till the window opens and can't train etc with new team till registered.
Expecting sponsorship announcement next. Final few formalities then I'm guessing sponsor(s) and shirts to be announced at same time.
Personally, and this is a hunch.......I don't think it will be. That's a far bigger, longer term project for PIF than just NUFC. Think about all the talk of regional investment prior to the takeover. The sort of things I heard about would require not just months and months of local council approval, but, I dare say government level approval. I would have guessed at a tourism related deal ahead of either Saudia or Aramco, but Mehrdad's instagram photo's over the weekend, was either him being really **** at getting a photo of an F1 car going around a tight bend in Monaco, or he really likes the Aramco signage. So I'm now swaying.
As for strips and sponsorships. Bairn is training with Newcastle Foundation coaches this week and none of them have a damn clue, not been measured up or asked for sizes for new training gear etc at this point
