    No, they just fell in love with stotties and Brown Ale and thought 'we should buy their football club and make it successful'

     

    The KSA govt is backward even by simple definition, as its Wahhabist version of the Salafi movement is deliberately atavistic in nature.  I know people try to make out like criticism of the KSA govt is really about sneering racist condescension, but it isn't

    Yeah those backward moslem... ruin everything good about western and brits values

    My boy has just had his team’s presentation there and the difference from 4 years ago is massive, a proper bar, hot food, new carpets, new tables, a lick of paint, proper TV screens, more staff, decent entertainment, a big welcome and just an all round classy morning/afternoon. The last time we had one the carpets were stained, the tables were falling apart, half the very small TVs didn’t work or were hanging off the wall, no food, bottled water come out of a pack, no card machines, just a shit show. Massive thumbs up to the new owners!

    Newcastle United’s non-playing staff have received their first pay rise in several years after an independent review over salaries was undertaken by the club’s new owners.

    Administrative staff, office workers and scouts at the Premier League club received the first rise in April of this year, following a four-month consultation period. It is thought some employees had only received one pay rise in the previous ten years.

    The review was put in place by co-owner Amanda Staveley and her partner Mehrdad Ghodoussi. Staveley, through PCP Capital Partners, took a 10 per cent shareholding in the club following the £305 million takeover in September last year. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund bought an 80 per cent stake and the final 10 per cent went to RB Sports & Media.

    The pair interviewed non-playing staff following the takeover and were shocked at the salary levels in place and the lack of regular pay reviews. They felt then a full review would have to be undertaken and that was implemented by an independent body from December.

    What has been described to The Times as a ‘proper benchmarking exercise’ followed and a ‘consensus that the club had been poor payers’ was found.

    As of April, a new wage structure has been in place that is now said to be nationally competitive and staff have been given rises to match market values for the jobs they do in line with other Premier League clubs.

    Understandably, staff at the club are said to be ‘very pleased’ with the changes, according to a source.

    On the pitch, Newcastle have prioritised the signing of another central defender during the summer transfer window and will renew their interest in Sven Botman, as revealed by The Timesin March.

    Lille turned down a £27 million offer from Newcastle in January for the 22-year-old Dutch defender, but are now prepared to let the player leave.

    The Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe likes Botman for his ability on the ball and his style of play. Botman expressed his interest in the Newcastle project once the January transfer window had closed. Serie A champions AC Milan are also fighting for the player’s signature.

    Newcastle do have an interest in James Tarkowski, who will become a free agent at the end of June when his contract with Burnley expires, but he is further down their list.

    Meanwhile, Dan Ashworth is expected to join Newcastle next week as director of football after an agreement with Brighton & Hove Albion was finally reached. Ashworth resigned from his position at Brighton in February but has been on gardening leave since as the two clubs argued over a compensation package. Brighton wanted around £5 million but it is thought the final figure will be less.

    Payrise for non-playing staves? Sportwashing! Now those non-playing staves will defend saudi action till their last drop of bloods.

    The away kit is obviously invoking the Saudis, but that 3rd kit is invoking Ukraine for me like. Probably one of those things where if you're looking for it, you'll see it, but I do see it. 

    We need this pov to be viral to counter balance the saudi thing

    I agree with Gary Neville sentiment about the need of NE teams being strong, ecxept for Sunderland. Gateshead could take their place instead. Or any other NE clubs, just not sunderland.

    Seriously, the same people who object to the Saudi Newcastle's kit are the same people who hope Newcastle sponsored by Saudi's company. Like, wtf? So you are okay with Saudi (the evil people and bad morality) association as long as it brings money to NUFC? Pathetic thing to do I say.
