I agree mate. It's not so much about a return instead having an asset, like buying an expensive piece of art, like a Van Gogh. And just like owning a Van Gogh and putting it on public display, you can get good publicity from owning it, any amount of money you get in from owning it is incidental but welcome, no matter how small. All of it is just another small piece in making more money and making them look better. And I do agree as well that owning the mags hadn't worked out as easily as the Saudis thought it would be. There's not the glamour of the Champions League, they can't spend ridiculous amounts on big names because of the risk of PSR, so they're a long way off winning anything. There's no love or admiration from other clubs or fans, if anything they seem even more unpopular than they were before and decent journalists are keeping on digging away at the ownership. All of that is enough for the Saudis to get bored of them, even more so that they now have the World Cup in 2034 and the sports washing program. Why waste time on the Mags when you can spend it on making you look good for the future World Cup?
Here's a challenge for everyone. I'm just home from the match and looking through Youtube at clips from last night. This popped up and I stupidly clicked onto it but clicked off in about three seconds ... ... anyone attempting to watch needs a sick bucket close by, oh dear https://www.youtube.com/shorts/omWOdPY3_Xc?feature=share
Wow! I suppose this is the problem with social media. Gives every tom dick and arsehole the idea people want to hear their tripe!
If it was the other way around, I would've asked for another gown or another barber! https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/n...UrmiT6_VnoOHb1avnQ_aem_2kdauc7w2hss6DaO_xBhGA
It’s like a form of mass hysteria … … they have the ability to alter history and believe anything they say. They were in the Champions League with Ashley but had massive protests and a ‘Pardew Out’ van going around the town. Now they’re bottom half of the table and Howe is a saviour
They’ll not like this then https://x.com/mackeminmokum/status/1842274140092285059?s=46&t=26DLp2oXvFO7UDfe5HEPwQ
Mass hysteria is the perfect description of the post 1992 bandwagoners, facts and the little matter of truth are alien to them. They think NUFC should be restored to their rightful position at the top of the top flight when history tells us that it is mid table top flight on average
