PIF will be minority stake holders and that's why this will pass the fit and proper test according to Times
That won’t happen. Not at that scale anyway. The other 19 clubs won’t allow it to happen as it’s in none of their interests. And no - the owner isn’t allowed to pump money into the club for transfers and wages - only infrastructure.Why does the current wage budget matter? They'll just give out some lucrative sponsorship contracts from Saudi companies. Say Aramco sponsors their jersey for a 1bn dollar 10 year deal with majority of the money upfront or something like that and you're set.
This is on top of the money owners are legally allowed to invest by FFP standards.
It's all standard procedure, FFP might as well not exist for the clubs.
Thought the BBC were saying 80%?PIF will be minority stake holders and that's why this will pass the fit and proper test according to Times
they have gotten huge results against the big six. dont know what you’re talking about.It's going under the radar because they're stopping short of having the cheek to challenge the elite.
By a distance too, from the charts I’ve seen. Question is how much they will actually want to invest over there. Probably a very small percentage of their wealth, which could still be way too much.Combined even, if I'm not mistaken
From 2025 the PL a two-horse race between Citeh and the Barcodes.Football is morally bankrupt. I hope this at least has City fans that worship their own human rights abusers worried.
Chelsea can still compete.From 2025 the PL a two-horse race between Citeh and the Barcodes.
You couldn’t make it up.
One off results can happen any time.they have gotten huge results against the big six. dont know what you’re talking about.
Then so can we. We outspend them. Our issue has been what we spend it onChelsea can still compete.
probably means we get more petrol though. shades of grey an’ all that.This is really going to affect the sales of Slazenger football shorts.
TFW a country calls its entire populace stupid in one go.From here:
Ah, alright. So you just set up a shell company and human rights abuses don't count. Fair enough.
The guy chopped a journalist to pieces. He is not going to be put off by Arsene Wenger telling him he cannot buy Neymar for 300 millionNo they won’t. Why is everyone saying this? It is not in the interests of the other 19 clubs to allow Newcastle to break the rules at a time when wage inflation is a genuine concern.
They have to go through some older established names who are out of favour at the big clubs, and promising youngsters on the cheap, establish themselves in the top 10 and raise their profile as a club.So, do you think they'll make a couple of seasons of weird signings like City did or will they go straight to the top and sign Mbappe?

That's the whole point of the energy transition. Focusing on ways to generate electricity by other means than burning oil...Electricity is made.. by burning oil..
Let's wait and see then. The clubs can do feckall about it and it's in the PL's interest to have the best clubs in the world in England.That won’t happen. Not at that scale anyway. The other 19 clubs won’t allow it to happen as it’s in none of their interests. And no - the owner isn’t allowed to pump money into the club for transfers and wages - only infrastructure.
Weird, although not that weird. I just don't think they could get the very best right away. Still some very good ones though.So, do you think they'll make a couple of seasons of weird signings like City did or will they go straight to the top and sign Mbappe?
They wanted United too back in 2011 before they settled on PSG.I think Qatar were rumoured to be after Leeds at one point a couple of years ago. They could come back in for an English team if they fancied going directly head to head with Saudi Arabia instead of indirectly with PSG.
Not one more. They take Spurs spot.FFP is a fecking pisstake.
You think these guys have worse lawyers than city? City have got away with it for a decade and more no way will it be any different this time.
In a weird way I’m curious as to what will happen when it goes ahead.
One more English club in the super league
But levy will cry………Not one more. They take Spurs spot.
Serves him right for hurting King Harry's feeling. Promises were broken. Neville was in tears.But levy will cry………
Nobody could be that cruel.
Ciro Immobile revealed when it looked like they were going to take over originally they contacted his agent to be their first marquee signing, and there was that weird 35m for Soumare that fizzled into nothing before they announced the takeover was officially off. I think they'd build up like City did, Dzeko, Balotelli, Tevez, Silva types add a few homegrown potentials to build around ASM who they need to keep hold of.So, do you think they'll make a couple of seasons of weird signings like City did or will they go straight to the top and sign Mbappe?
Except its not one off results. Beat Arsenal twice last season. Beat Chelsea once drawn once. Beat Liverpool and Spurs once. 5 wins and 1 draw in 1 season. And this season they’ve already gotten a win against us. The only team they haven’t gotten anything from is Man City thus far. Dont forget they were pushing for Europe before Grealish got injured midway thru last season.One off results can happen any time.
If they decided to up the ante and carry on investing until they were challenging for the big two, all of a sudden the 'neutral' feeling towards them would hit a slightly different tone.
A rather cowardly way to live life. I'm not sure how it's possible to turn a blind eye to those owners.Should be a sight to see with bin Salman amongst the crowd bare chested on a Tuesday night.
Seriously though if you have suffered like Newcastle fans have with Ashley in charge then any kind of improvement would be great for them. Sometimes you just don’t want to be involved in politics and you want to see your team challenging on a Saturday afternoon.
The Glazers murdered someone?Like feck it is, murder is murder.
Newcastle fans who didn't want them?Watch the ones that didn’t want them as owners squirm in the seats now…
There's a lot more depth at the top of the league now then back then, it'll take twice as long to emit the same dominance as City now.It took City four, if were talking about the league title. Three when they broke into the top four and FA cup.
France?Where has Arsene Wenger come from
Probably just use it to drive to Sports Direct for more of those sweet, sweet '7 pairs of shorts for £12' deals.probably means we get more petrol though. shades of grey an’ all that.
