Shearergol Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 It's not "100% happening" if they're still exploring how to facilitate it. They "100% want it to happen" which is completely different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Do we have any direct quotes saying that they won't buy if we get relegated? The money it takes to get back up is what Liverpool would spend on a goalie. From PIFs perspective, surely it'd be a minor inconvenience. Quicker to just buy Leeds. Except Leeds don't offer the same package, nowhere near. Not this year or any other year. Also Qatar have 1st dibs on Leeds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest club in Yorkshire, in a thriving & cosmopolitan city, with a history of winning trophies in the living memory of most people. Attendences count for nothing, especially since Leeds are hardly Wimbledon...they still have attracted pretty large crowds in all the time I have followed the game. At this rate they will be a bigger club than us in 5 months time, never mind never at all. Leeds are a club just waiting to take off. And if the Saudis or Qataris buy them & make them even remotely like Man City they will attract 50k crowds easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you, Leeds have always been a similar club to ours in my lifetime, one club city, huge passionate fan base and northern based. That said, why would PIF go there when they would come up against the exact same problems they have already faced here, i.e. PL opposition to the deal?

Absolute delusion I'm afraid. Well the Saudis are interested in us, and not giving up easily, and haven't went for Leeds. Surely that stands for something? There's something in the fact that Staveley has clearly sold NUFC to them and not Leeds, as she realises what it could be, the idea that they'll just jump ship and buy instead is just pure speculation, regardless how much you keep saying people are deluded.

I've been following NUFC for 36 years and to me the two clubs have always seemed very similar so I'm not sure where this superiority complex is coming from. Now that they are back in the Prem, go and ask the average Joe on the street who is the biggest club and you might not like the answer you get. The worry that PIF go there is if we get relegated, which at the moment looks highly likely. If we stay up though there is nothing to worry about as we are a more attractive proposition than Leeds.

And if the Saudis or Qataris buy them & make them even remotely like Man City they will attract 50k crowds easily. It’s not a football mad city like Newcastle, and Rugby League is massive there. I’m not saying there not a big club and have a raucous support on their day, I’d put them on a par with City with the advantage of being a 1 club city. We on the other hand with Saudi backing could be as big as they come. If they get it right you’re talking 65k plus regularly, and I think I’m being conservative. Even under their purple patch with Wilkinson and O’Leary there was regularly empty seats at Elland Road. That simply would not have happened here with their level of success.
