BlackandWhite Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I don't know how to handle this optimism, I miss the misery already Glad I am not the only one feeling some sort of Stockholm Syndrome. Where the Newcastle we’ve know for the last 13 years is the captor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 My take on today: PIF and JV1 are in Newcastle right now. No other reason why a plane would make that Saudi - London - Newcastle - Saudi flight. I reckon plane went home empty having dropped the required personnel off. There was going to need to be some sort of physical transfer. I do not believe for one second that events at Sheffield Utd are coincidental. I’d imagine a box needed to get ticked and Al Saud complied. But it would be folly to publicly admit to this. That ITK about PR being called in sounds legit to me. All in all this is happening and I think we are ahead of where the media think we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Say the deal is officially approved over the weekend, say Monday or Tuesday at the latest, the payment part will take a few days so it’s quite likely it will run into the next week. Am totally confident it’s happening now so I don’t mind the wait anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they need to come to Newcastle in your scenario ? I'm with you in that I think its happening but I dont get why anyone would need to physically come here ? Two reasons: 1. Physical collection of property. I’d imagine there is an emotional attachment and won’t feel real or like they can get properly started unless they establish some physical space for themselves at the club. 2. Ego. As seen in a few documentaries about super rich from that part of the world they like to show off their new toys amongst themselves and this is as big as they come.

Don’t think so. Highly doubt Staveley, The Reubens or anyone from PIF will be basing their office there. I read something about them looking to employ a few directors with experience. Expect an Ian Ayre/Garry Cook type to come in and look to increase commercial revenue. Then there’ll be a director of football. Someone to bring in the names that a coach approves/deliver the strategy that the owners want. They’ll probably bring in someone new to do the Charnley work. I can’t see Staveley being the one doing the press releases, fully expect Yasir Al-Rumayyan to be the one to make the big announcements (or at least his name will be attached to them) as he’s well used to doing that with either PIF or Aramco.

Roman is private to the point of paranoid and the City owners were never about putting themselves up front and centre - they fucked that original spokesman off quick smart who was talking all that shit about signing Ronaldo for 200 million and bringing in Fabregas and Torres when the takeover first went through. The PIF is a different beast to those two - having the brand name front and center seems to be part of the plan for their previous big investments.
