This is basically West Brom's current kit in black & white.

Honestly can't see how this would be signed off, on a long term deal, if there was a sniff of an imminent takeover.

Thing is, other people are just as bad is a perfectly valid argument. If you allow one in, you allow them all. If you were in charge of the league, and fans had a stake in their clubs, they would not be blocking the likes of Mansour and Abramovich. Both clubs fans would welcome them with open arms, as would the majority of us with the PIF.

Nah, don't think it's relevant to us. The Government have already pretty much said they'd welcome the investment. The key word in all of this is "individuals".

Ah. It's this kind of insider knowledge that keeps me on this forum. I want to believe.

I can't get my head around the SNP weighing in on this, the tone of his questions as well just made you want to slap him. Seems to be the way with all politicians these days, a total lack of respect for anybody. Fair enough if it's the Scots league Saudi want to invest in, but it aint, and his crowd all want independence anyway. Seemingly it turns out that Scotland and in particular this MP have close ties to Qatar, colour me surprised the pretentious twat.

Looks like he's dressed to present kids tv.

Let's be honest here he's a total arsehole. Undoubtedly been trying to wind people up, although he denies it his tweets about Staveley being the saviour, and this Hitler thing are obvious to that. He's lost all sense of nuance and a first class bell-end.

Didn't he say they hadn't even started the tests last week. See, Prem tests only take a few days man.

Inadvertently perhaps, but Masters has handled it badly. His whole "we'll look at these things when we get to them" re human rights abuses. His "no time frame for these things" unsettled a lot of people. He should have said flatly no comment. He's made himself & the PL look a bit of an arse, in my opinion.

Guess-work.

It does feel they're taking the piss. I'm sure they aren't, but for fucks sake they need to pull their fingers out and sort this fucker out one way or the other.

Aye, Keys and Grey were both really good at what they did back in the day. The man has morphed into a total arse wipe.

Big fan of the prototype badge design.

I still don't understand the obsession with the Newcastle United takeover of all things the Saudi's are involved in. It's not purely about sportswashing - not a chance.

The whole process has been draining, especially as it isn't the first time we've been left in limbo. We had exactly the same last summer, waiting on a supposed BZG takeover and simultaneously waiting on Rafa signing a new contract, which dragged on for months and months. There's been more than sufficient time for a decision to be made, and the longer it drags on the more opportunity it allows for people to try and tear it down. It needs a decision one way or another soon. I'm most definitely fucked off with it all, and being continuously left dangling.

What's this, the third letter? Wonder if she does this with other investments from the PIF? Uber, Live Nation, Carnival Cruises... Re Sports Washing, is that not Qatar hosting the World Cup?

I want to believe even though ya’s are most likely talking shite.

This is lovely. Just buy the club already.

Might have something to do with 90% of Newcastle fans being white men to be fair.

More bothered about the Reubens being Tory's than Saudi fucking Arabia

Mohammed's bin salesman?

Thanks for that sober legal analysis there Michelle! She's correct in what she says, is she not?

Must. Not. Get. Excited.

The is the optimism thread. Naysayers.
