Who knows, maybe we will attract a decent owner at some point rather than the horde of asset strippers that have been linked so far.

Saints are up for a cheaper price than Newcastle and someone worthwhile may decide we are worth a punt as the world reopens, lets just hope we don't get funded with blood money like the Geordies are about to be.

With a Saudi owner there is always the risk that state sanctions could come into play at some point, although I recognize they are one of this countries 'allies' for now.

We will never put meaningful state sanctions on the Saudis. We sell them too many weapons

I wish I had your optimism. Newcastle have a bigger stadium that they fill (and easily will if they get more success). Bound to attract more offers than us - and look at how hard it has been for them to get taken over

Yes, Newcastle really are a sleeping giant and there are a few clubs that are a more attractive prospect than us for a big takeover.
 
Don’t they have a limit as to fees and wages due to FFP? I thought you could only increase your wage bill by a certain amount each year

So unless they are 350-500k per week below their current cap (not impossible I guess) they technically can’t sign him

That said - we aren’t exactly talking about a guy who plays by the rules here

Yeah no chance. Man City didn't instantly sign the best players after they got taken over and Newcastle need to establish themselves as a CL club before the best players sign for them. I'm sure they will throw money at a new manager and some very good signings. The signings they can attract at the moment are probably players like Rice, Neto, Traore, to name a few.
