  1. Professor Simon Chadwick is a professor of Sports Enterprise at the Salford Business School, part of the University of Salford.

     

    He’s got some knowledge of Saudi Arabia and the Royal Family’s approach to business.

     

    He’s not too sure regarding the link to Newcastle United.

    “Have canvassed views of Saudi Arabians I know (in Saudi Arabia) about the proposed country takeover of NUFC. Three common responses: 1) ‘nobody is talking about it here, not an issue’; 2) ‘if it’s true, it’s a private investor, not the government’; 3) ‘no way this will happen’.

     

    “Neom, Qiddiya, the Red Sea Project, Saudi Aramco, Uber, Tesla - some of the investments Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund are funding or invested into. Also working closely with Japan’s Softbank & founder Masayoshi Son, which were given $100bn to invest in value-adding assets

     

    “Neom to cost $500 billion; Qiddiya likely to cost about the same. Red Sea Project also likely to cost billions. Public Investment Fund’s Uber stake cost £3 billion. And to this hugely valuable, infrastructure & tech focused portfolio, PIF wants to add Newcastle United...!!??!!??”

     

    Oh Well

    Its obvious why they want to buy Newcastle - as proved by Man City its great PR.  That's all there is to it

  2. Those green arrows of Christmas were long ago.

     

    Took out Pope for Ryan at the weekend and chose Maupay over Calvert-Lewin..... those decision cost me around 30pts :lol:

     

    Captain Vardy missed that penalty, Alli was also removed for Salah. Can't catch a break right now!

    That sums up my last few game weeks  :lol: more points on my bench than first team

  3. Play defensively and hope for the best.

    ???

     

    Shelveys goal made it look more comfortable than it was - 9k Sheffield United have a good record at home but our attacking still worries me - it's just not clicking.  Our defence is what is saving us.  Does Bruce deserve some credit?  Only for sticking to the tactics Rafa introduced
