Optimistic Nut Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 If this comes off it really will be a PSG/Man City thing won’t it? It’s hardly like they’re in it to make money. If this ‘sportswashing’ term is correct then they’ll be looking to just to make the best club they possibly can to help their ‘image’, cost would hardly come into it. Or am I way off with this.

Cue someone saying they wouldn't want SJP to be morgue like Man City's atmosphere or feel hollow and soulless like Man City. We are already. If were going to have a non-existent atmosphere and feel plastic its best to be compensated by good quality football as opposed to the current silage.

mickthemagpie Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Would be nice if Ashley thought this could be his get out this time and lets it go too far so he could blame the PL, only for the PL to give it the go ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 If it did go through and we started to win stuff do you think we would all get bored like the man city fans seem to be sometimes? I would love to get back to the atmospheres like when we hammered Man U 5-0 I sometimes wonder if that is why we get such a hard ride in the press and fat Mike doesn't get called out as much as he should because if we were successful we really could have a big impact on the football establishment "big" clubs Genuinely believe if we had the success city have had you couldnt get a season ticket for love nor money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 If they did take over, to what extent would NUFC be accountable to any future Saudi barbarity? Probably a lot more than if Arsenal got sponsored by Emitates Airlines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Not wanting to be a troll etc, but, can anyone who does not want Saudi money actually say why their money is any different to any other multi billionaires? It's a regime that kills people for fun, this isn't private money. pretty uneducated view mate, sorry to say No it's fucking not. yep it is what do you know of the history of Saudi Arabia? ever been and worked/lived there? You asked the question and he answered, you fucking rectangle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Same paper that printed Yesterday that Bruce (fixture congestion, injury crisis) had turned down Ashley's offer of 60m in this window, preferring it in the summer. Samuel and Edwards in particular are extremely pro-Ashley. If they don't want this to happen, neither does he probably. They are the clubs preferred propagandist media so its off (or was never on) by the vibes they're giving off and they'll be in the know at least as much as they're Bishop's poodles. Says something "doesn't add up" about this takeover. This one, the last one, the one before that all of them stretching back to Barry Mot in 2008!!!. Can you tell what it is Samuel? We all know. What (or who) is the common denominator? Its such a typical biased piece that questions everyone and everything but Ashley. Out-right paid-for propagandist.

DJ_NUFC Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Jon Bobson in the running for being the stupidest and least politically-educated poster on the forum, and that’s saying something as NO is a graveyard for politics in general.

Taylor Swift Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Saudi PIF are nominally a publicly-owned institution since it functions as a sovereign-wealth fund. Don't see what this has anything to do with MBS since MBS doesn't own the PIF. They'll be nominating someone else to sit on the board, anyway.
