    I only employ thin ones - have to feed them so Obi would be a no go.

    Its obvious that if they are not going to let owners throw money at the clubs still (confirming market value for sponsors by related parties) we need to increase commercial revenue.

    We should start to try and test the PL and see what we can get through:

    1) turn the Director's Box into Golden Season tickets. These cost £1million per season. All of them will be purchased by Saudis. Paint the seats gold.
    2) create a new membership category called the Middle East Members Category. Each cost £200,000/year. All bought by Saudis. Guarantees them entry in the ballots and a special keyring. Limit the number to 500.
    3) Newcastle Middle East Weekly Lottery - 1000 tickets sold per week at £5000. Each weekly winner gets all expenses paid trip to the Saudi Embassy in Istanbul, dinner with the ambassador and a return trip on completion. All tickets bought by Saudis, no journalists allowed.

    Good Idea
    When they can't attend for what ever reason, their tickets/seats have to go back into the ballot where repurchase is no more than 50 quid a seat
    Everyone happy

    Oh and it ould have to be a hundred year bond scheme

    They can get very constructive. But really there is no need as the levels for commercial deals has already been set.

    They cannot stop us getting our commercial income to the same levels as the top six.

    That would be restrictions of trade and a certain NDM would have a very good day.

    They can’t stop bona fide commercial deals.

    We now have the connections and opportunities and they cannot block them. Provided they are at arms length.

    They changed the rules literally a week after our takeover. It's based in fair market value which is just another ****house rule to preserve the 6.
