madras Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 The Reuben Brothers have many interests in Newcastle, they own a very large part of the City Centre (the "East Pilgrim Street" development area) and I think they wish to expand this further, so owning a stake in the football club of that City (which happens to also one of the UKs most famous clubs) is a no-brainer really. It will be great to have them owning part of the club. Totally, I can see why they would want in, not why the 80% stakeholders would want them in. I’m genuinely more happy that they’re involved tbh. East Pilgrim Street is in need of being totally revamped - and I fucking hate Stack. Not got a problem with that but that doesn't explain why the majority owner (getting ahead of myself) would let them in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could save them having to negotiate for land rights and stuff and also gives the club an in-built expertise and organisation to handle infrastructure stuff.

Had the Saudis started this project, then they probably wouldnt have been included. However, it was Staveleys brain child and the reubens were part of the consortia before SA. Presumably they have a key role to play in regeneration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 It does sound like they sat around drinking expensive brandy on a yacht thinking up all sorts of business deals that could come about between the football club and the racecourse, the latter being why the Reubens are involved. There’s definitely a plan in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reubens "EPS" plans have barely started yet, Stack is a temporary infil, but there is at least ten years of re-development work to happen in the EPS area of the City Centre. I reckon that will just be "for starters", with the Reubens and Saudis getting actively involved in the City Centre and around the rest of Newcastle.

Definitely needs some doing to it and I know Stack is temp, just hope its not just office blocks, student accom done in bland fashions. Edit....to expand on this and maybe it should be in general chat but city centres must change. They had to change due to the change in retail and with Civid 19 thats been accelerated. City centres will have to become more experience and residential based than retail like they've been over here for over 100yrs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Probably because the Reubens were going to be involved in regenerating rundown areas of Newcastle, maybe even rebuilding the ground itself. They are property developers after all . Which means making money....why would the Saudis want to let someone else in on that ? The Saudis don't really need the money though do they? Probably makes more sense for them to have the Reubens on board to deal with that side of it, and they get the foothold in the Premier league for their own purposes.

manorpark Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Commercial Union House (CU House) which extends over Pilgrim Street next to where the Odeon was, was indeed due to be removed this year. I think that is the building you mean, Stifleaay? However, one of the many COVID-19 delays might mean this may not happen until next year, or even later. The Pearl Assurance Building, while it is within the EPS area, is not going to be touched at all, there are no plans involving it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I still don't understand why Reuben Brothers are on board tbh. Amanda I can understand as she set it all up, but why RB ? Stuff like this is probably pretty convincing from their POV. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/11/27/manchester-city-owners-agree-sell-389m-stake-holding-company/ From their POV but not from the people putting up most of the cash. Why would they want/let the Rueben bros in on it? Could be any number of reasons - spread the risk, reduce their initial outlay, build relationships. Ultimately though, PIF have been brought in to the deal rather than being the driving force behind it. RB were already involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
