Aye the whole response is just total waffle and hinting towards renovating SJP which if the concrete cancer rumours are true could turn into a nightmare for them
Imagine going to an event like that with the fans as CEO and coming out with absolute waffle like that man.
Makes you think that he's got no influence and that the Saudis aren't that interested. This could shape up to be a total clusterfuck, people with no idea what other party's of the same business are supposed to be doing going about with different agendas.
Throw in the tournaments that are planned to take there which will limit timescales in what they can do if they want the prestige in holding them. To have no timeline or plan is interesting to say the least. It’s not beyond the realms of possibility for SAFC to have a 64,000 fully fit for purpose SOL in the near future for an absolute fraction of the cost of any work to the Hotch or a new stadium. The land is also there in years to come for another tier to the Jimmy stand which would take us 70,000+ if needs be. That would hurt them. The Saudis have been sold a pup by Queen Amanda
This reply: "PIF need to ask themselves why they are here. For an incoming CEO the stadium surely has to be top of the list. Embracing Geordie culture is all well and good but most fans would have expected more than a bunch of temporary shipping containers behind the Gallowgate after 4 years." Geordie culture? What, smearing yourself in Greggs gravy a la Braveheart and braying hosses? No wonder they're delaying a decision.
