    This isn’t a reaction to yesterday, something I’ve wondered for a while.. Will PIF still be our owners in 10 years?

    When the Amazon doc came out it came across like they were so invested in everything with us, I feel since then though with Amanda leaving the bond isn’t half as strong. She was the glue that kept things together (biggest mistake we’ve made in my opinion is Amanda leaving)

    You can see years on that City’s owners are still just as invested as they were the early days, as are the PSG owners.

    Due to all the PSR etc, will PIF have enough and **** off or are they here for the long haul, thoughts??

    I think they are here for the long haul.

    I haven't seen or heard anything whatsoever to suggest otherwise and am struggling to see how others have.

    I understand exactly where you're coming from. There's something not right and probably more things than we can come up with.

    Personally I suspect football is heading towards a more seismic change and the PIF have caught wind of it.

    Ultimately we don't know and it's all going to become clear in time

    We certainly have had obstacles put in our way but I don’t see the PIF being the type to give up and skulk away. I think these things will just make them more determined.

    Why would they sell? The money they get from selling Newcastle is pennies in comparison to their overall wealth so no point doing it for profit.

    Only reason may be if they get bored or no longer need the club as a way to promote Saudi

    Think it’s absurd to suggest they’ll sell. They haven’t really had any chance to make a mark on the club. The next phase with a new manager will be important. What’s blatantly obvious is Eddie Howe and his British first, loyalty is key, in control of everything might have been a good fit for Bournemouth in 2018, but it’s woefully out of place at a PIF owned Newcastle in 2024.

    Some reports suggesting PIF are going to sell Newcastle and buy Liverpool.

    It would be boring though if I just posted good news all the time. Nothing like a bit of speculation once in a while.
