Don't fret, MBS is making the EPL better. He could just be a bad guy all the time but he made time for us EPL enthusiasts.
Newcastle United now owned by the PIF | PL receives "legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control NUFC" ;)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

It's in all effect been a super league since the big TV deals came in.
The route for a dreamer club like Blackpool (who got to the PL once) or Colchester (who got close around the same time) is closed for a very long time, If ever because the likes of Norwich and WBA will keep yo yoing of the back of parachute payments (ala reward for their constant relegations) but no one cares because they don't threaten the elite.
With bielsa there it would be smart too. Buy him some quality defenders and some lethal attackers and yes i could see them being dangerous
Good for them - I mean that genuinely.
Honestly, I get the ethical issues. However, after English football let in gangster oligarchs and Abu Dhabi, there's no reason to reject the Saudis. A day after seeing the Glazers, again, profiteering off of United I can't begrudge the barcodes being happy to be rid of Ashley.
So is it ‘tops off for the lads’…or ‘heads off’?
Great. Getting ready to bin the EPL.
Why wouldn't the Newcastle fans be happy ? Pretty sure they hated the previous owner. This news only means the club is going up for them.
That’s all our fault if anything. A lot depends on Ole this season - if we look dangerous again we can attract some strong talent. Or we could buy a DM in the winter and if we stay close to the top by then we could stay in it
Extremely strange looking woman kind of resembles a lion..
As expected. Hypocritical bastard!
Because whilst Ashley was a cnut, the Saudis are evil.
They deserve to be top of the PL? Based on what exactly?
Winning the league in the early 1900s.
Makes Glazer selling a shit ton of his shares so very transparent, doesn't it? They already know that top four for us is going to be difficult to maintain and so they're selling up whilst we're still making CL bank.
Let's say in two or three seasons they build a team who is able to challenge for the top four regularly.
I think the team most likely to suffer from that would be Leicester given how close they always come to getting into the CL places.

It’ll be us who suffer the most.
We are miles off City & Liverpool. Chelsea are ahead of us too. Who’s spot in the top 4 do you think they are taking?
A BIG FAT feck YOU TO THE LEAGUE FOR ACCEPTING THIS. fecking immoral cnuts.
My mate said this too. "The fans deserve it". Why though? Newcastle aren't some sleeping giant that have been underperforming. They're an entitled fan base making demands on the back of a short lived Keegan run that wasn't even successful.
No more deserving than say Blackburn, who at least won a PL title.
That they won the Inter cities cup back in 1969. Ujpesti Dozsa still tremble whenever they see a barcode to this day
I didn't realise Sterling was some scrub. Did City not sign him with all their riches?Not the only reprehensible bastards running a football club but certainly by far the worst, IMO.
I already disliked Newcastle's arrogant and deluded fans. They're going to be a hundred times worse now.
That'd be hilarious. Having unlimited funds and buying those two
Surely she has had plastic surgery?
Edit: Googled her name and she certainly has had plastic surgery that has made her look weird.
Many people on here want Ole out. It doesn’t mean they want Adam Johnson to replace him.
You can hate Ashley and not want MBS, that’s a valid position to take. You can also have some perspective and not make football your main priority in your decision making process, when there are far more important things in life.
Yeah she’s definetly killed before. Those eyes.
No it will be us no one will buy us now and we will be less of an a attraction to players and investors, truly bleak day for United.
great shout. probably get that Napoli CB Koulibaly since the hype died a bit. Maybe even either Lacazette or Auba.
Newcastle were the perfect club for them to go for. They absolutely despise their current owner and think they should he doing much better than they have been. Basically us on a whole other level and at least we actually spend money to fail.
I'm convinced shes' a werewolf.
Because everything about their club's past, present and future is now a PR salve for the reputation of murderous scumbags. Generally if you love something you don't want it to be used by horrendous people.
It's like celebrating your daughter marrying Fred West because she used to date a traffic warden.
Scary thing is they could win the PL before we do again
Maybe not. If only because De Gea is back to top form and we have Ronaldo.
Oh dear. Not good.
Except for Brentford only last May
I just want to open a Twitter account and hurl vile abuse at the guy. What a c***
Nah.
If it was a short-term thing, sure, they're in a better position than us in a footballing sense right now. But over the longer run the gap between what we can spend and what Liverpool can spend will see them lose out more. Ditto any other less wealthy clubs.
It won't be less of an attraction to players. Investors yes, but not players. Not as long as we keep the top players we already have. Who doesn't want to play with Pogba, Ronaldo or Varane ?
Raiola and Alfie's cut just got much bigger!
Liverpool will suffer the most. Their position is being propped up by Klopp. He won’t be there forever, and there isn’t another Klopp out there. We still spend money on par with the oil clubs. They don’t.
I think this is a bit unfair, when Saudi take over of United was rumoured, there were plenty of posters on here dead against it.
Of course there were others welcoming the Saudi overlords! But a lot against for good moral reasons.
