et tu brute

Yeah they're not going to widely publish it that's for sure. FFP will hold us back a little the first year or so until they start building up the revenue/commercial deals (and they will). Edit - I don't take much notice of Caulkkn either now as I think he's lost it big time and his reporting during the takeover was just plain embarrassing at times.

What journalists like Edwards

Its been over 30 years since Newcastle were anywhere near where we are now and their average attendance then was 16k Typical mackem quoting gates from the 80s (when all attendances were massively down). The thick fucker conveniently doesn't mention (or probably doesn't know his clubs history), that their gates were even then, lower than this total.

You just need to look at their revenue from ticket sales year on year to see the true story.

Don't let facts get in the way.

You could say the same about the states also though. Beheading believe it or not is a more humane method of killing than the gas chamber, electric chair and lethal injection (when they get it wrong). I'm no way saying that the death penalty is the right thing, but don't leave western countries out of it either. France was still using the guillotine into the 70's.

Saudi is a relatively new country in terms of footballing status. I agree about having superstar players is a key aspect (I've already mentioned this) and I would agree about the teams having an impact also. As for you thinking it's nonsense, time will tell, obviously the owners think differently otherwise why do it.

As I said earlier that's your choice, which I totally accept.

The more kit sales, the bigger the future kit deals will be also. It's not just about the shirt sales themselves.

Have a look at the population of Saudi and equate that to 5-20% additional revenue, it will also increase the sponsorship opportunities on the back of it and possibly future kit deals.

It is currently for us. not for the likes of Liverpool, Man Utd, Real Madrid etc though. Then there is more sponsorship opportunites which will evolve.

Far more likely to buy it with Saudi colours though.

Of course it does it increases the revenue sales which are included within the accounts.

Rationale is purely down to getting a foothold into the Saudi market for shirt sales and it could result in massive revenue streams (especially if they can also convince a name player to join). I'm going to say that I'm ok with it, but fair enough for people who are not also.

Hope seems confident it is (away shirt anyway) and I've no doubt he has checked with his sources.

I agree it will increase shirt sales (massively) wihin Saudi, especially as the shirt is quite similar to the Saudi national shirt. It won't however if the Fun88 is still the shirt sponser and the logo on the front shirt; and that's why I'm certain it won't be.

I agree

I'm fairly confident that will already have been sorted.

I just can't see PIF accepting a gambling firm on the shirt for another season with the gambling rules in Saudi.

They won't be, PIF won't allow sponsorship to go on another year for a start, with the ban on gambling in Saudi. They took over mid season so couldn't really do anything this season. Be all change next year.

I didn't say a word to him

Nope went off on his accord (seemingly)

He did his job, come on trying to get bites and then fucking off
