Fucking hell. Imagine being told in the summer when we struggled to afford the loan fee for Hamza Choudhury that Gayle, Schar and Lascelles would be dancing in the Arabian desert whilst we're chasing the likes of Bruno Guimaraes for £30m. :lol:

Incredible. :lol:

So many questions. I wonder if they knew that a) they'd have to dance to a Newcastle United themed chant, and b) that they'd be filmed doing it.

This is twice as funny to me being an actual Gulf Arab

 

To be honest, given the treatment they are giving the squad its a made me feel a bit more reassured that they are still interested in the project and the club even if we go down this year

Shit man, with you being a Gulf Arab the last thing we need to hear from you is any needing reassurance that they'd still be interested.

 

Got me worried again now about relegation ramifications.

My guess means fuck all. I never thought the Saudis would stick with this deal in the first place after being fucked around, hence why I practically never popped up in those two threads that were going at the time.

 

The Gulf Arab amused thing was more at me being amused at them enjoying traditional Gulf style Music/Dancing.

 

Unless you're being sarcastic here then shit man, with you being on an online forum where I cannot hear your tone of voice the last thing I need is reading this at midnight.

 

Got me worried again now about being gullible.

No no, not sarcasm. I'd want you to be telling us that they are in for the long haul and relegation would be a temporary setback and to strap ourselves in for the ride of our lives.

I think they will to be honest, if they waited for a year to get the purchase finalised then I can see them sticking around to get the club back up again and going once promoted. I had concerns over the "saving face" sociological aspect of Saudi culture once Masters and the EPL fuckers were twating around and PIF withdrew so I could not see the actual sale happening a year later, they did stick with it so I can definitely see them sticking with the project beyond whatever happens and having them treating the players and the staff with such a warm welcome is reassuring.

 

However, I remain to be entirely convinced about their approach this month, its all well and good you want to play it smart and not be taken advantage of by overpaying but then when we go down because we didn't spend an extra 10 million once or twice in important positions then that doesn't look very smart at all. Lets see what the next few days bring.

 

Personally, I have always thought of Saudi as a country with money but not ability to execute (no pun intended) vision/possess intelligence akin to UAE or Qatar (the fact that Qatar more or less found a way to thrive perfectly fine during the political tensions with Saudi Arabia last few years, as Saudi tried to ostracise them, should tell you something). This can change though and NUFC can be part of that change, I hope. Look up MBS - Saudi Vision 2030.
