This sounds on the money to me and in the grand scheme of things no big deal. Yeah we would have loved to have done a City/Etihad deal but that horse has bolted. There doing things the right way and we should all be reassured that where now in safe hands.

It certainly beats Hugo Hugo Hugo

Not sure how legit this is, but if correct then I’d say nothing changes until the contract expires as it would make zero financial sense at present.

It’s not just the choice between clubs though, at this moment in time rightly or wrongly the PL is considered the best and most glamourised league in the world. Botman might well be attracted to CL football, but the challenge of playing in the PL is far more enticing than Serie A these days.

The Milan media seem to be creating a narrative here that no way Botman chooses us if he’s got a choice. I think it’s a face saving exercise and there’s every chance he chooses us.

Born on the banks of the Tyne in North Shields you don’t get anymore Geordie than that. Thick cunts.

Paying wages to a player during the summer holidays, Ashley will be laughing his cock off at these jokers.

Not sure if these dudes are reliable probably not.

All these folk getting upset with Castore on twitter need to get a fucking life. I love hearing all the rumours etc, but for grown blokes to be getting this worked up over a strip is a bit ott.

Good question I’m not sure on this, will also be interesting how they treat Saudia if it’s them. Technically they’re not linked to PIF, but you can be assured they’d also be treat as affiliated I would imagine.

We can have aramco or Saudi golf, it would just be subject to fair market value due to being affiliated. What I’m unsure of is if an unaffiliated sponsor comes in are they subject to same scrutiny ?

Exactly what would be the point in paying them off if any new Saudi sponsor was restricted due to fair market value. We could potentially be worse off by doing that, if the PL are restricting our sponsor revenues in line with mid table clubs. If fun88 are still on the shirt it’ll be disappointing as it does look shite, but in the grand scheme of things it’s a shirt and there’ll be a good reason if they haven’t got rid of them at this point.

I suspect it’s still fun88 if the shirt is out tomorrow. If fun88’s contract was ending I would have thought they’d have announced it. What I do think though is that the leaked images may be shirts for the Saudi market with no sponsor on them, which may mean it’s possible to get an adult version without that shit logo on.

They can’t just write off debt without it affecting FFP, it would be like us going on a 500 million spree this summer and then PIF just paying off the debt. However, much like Everton I’m sure they’ll find away around it.

Fucking brilliant HTFL

I could see us going that route, Howe likes working with young players and by all accounts they want to lower age of squad. That Gouiri has definitely been scouted aswell according to Mark Douglas and looks some talent.

This might knock a few quid off the price.

Be interesting if we have and would mean Martin Hardy as opposed to all the other local journalists was on the money last week.

Neom the new Dubai looking forward to it.

Rumoured that they will be flying out of Newcastle International and setting up a new hub there as part of the sponsorship.

All the packages from last seen and what they provide are here. I would imagine they’ll announce prices nearer the time, but they vary quite a bit from the Leazes Park grill up to the directors box packages. https://www.nufc.co.uk/tickets/match-hospitality-in-newcastle/hospitality-suites/

I think we could still do with someone to unlock the door in tight games with a key pass. I was hoping for Paqueta, but no way that’s happening on top of the players we’ve been heavily linked with this week. If we could get Eriksen aswell it would probably fit in the budget and give us something different to what we’ve got.

Bilbao will bring back memories for some.

I’d much rather take Botman over Ake, I could see him becoming a real leader of the club for a number of years. Clearly Ake is better than what we’ve currently got and it could even be argued his speed would be better suited to what we currently need, but just something about getting Botman that sends out a real message to rivals.
