After reading past the bait headline it mentions Qatar Airways are interested in being our new shirt sponsors for a rumoured 20m a year

What are we at the moment, £6.5m isn't it?

 

So we'd be £13.5m plus the Noom deal (£7.5m) up on last season which is pretty decent.

Plus whatever other sponsors we have. Class.

Certainly the most interesting part of the article -

 

‘To spend more, Newcastle will have to earn more – and to earn more they will have to pass the Premier League’s new regulations on related-party transactions, introduced in haste when the PIF took over. Barely a commercial deal of any note has been signed so far. The recent deal with Saudi Airlineswas just to run the season – a short-term “official tour airline partner” – and much hangs on the new shirt sponsor to replace online bookmakers Fun88 in the summer.

It will be worth around £20 million a season, a long way off, for instance, the equivalent £47 million a year deal commanded by Manchester United in their doomed partnership with the German software company Team Viewer. Yet for Newcastle it will also be a case of who they can attract and what that says about the club, its owners and whether the market cares about all that comes with Saudi.

'Anything feels possible between squabbling siblings'

Remarkably, one of the interested parties is Qatar Airways, who are looking for a Premier League shirt deal. After all the Gulf antagonism, the blockade, the beIN signal pirating, the public rapprochements and the private fallouts could a Saudi-owned club really play with Qatar on their shirts? The answer is that anything feels possible between these squabbling siblings’.

Price of Football pointed out that clubs under the multi club model (Brighton and their Belgian club, City and Girona) have an advantage recruiting the best young European teenagers. 
 

Due to Brexit you can’t sign those players as young a previously (which is why every young Scottish player gets immediately bought as it’s the only league to poach from). 
 

Clubs with a European proxy can bypass this by running a lot of their academy via their club in the EU. Wonder if PIF will look at a Belgian or Portuguese team for this?

It’s a bit disingenuous to say it’s due to brexit. The FA have introduced this new rule as they think it will stop young English kids getting pushed out of the academies for European boys. 
 

the FA feel this puts the English kids at an advantage and will help bring through more players for the England national team. 
 

brexit gave the FA the opportunity to rewrite their rules, but it’s a bit of a stretch to say it’s due to brexit.

I wonder if Idris Elba is doing the voiceover and that’s why he was a special guest at the game v Southampton 

I said that jokingly to some friends when Sky showed him and now I feel like it might actually be the case.

I had a sneaky feeling this was already happening just in the way Eddie Howe mentioned the cameras just before Dan Burn's dance after the Leicester win. "I'll keep it brief cos the cameras are here," was kinda spoken in a tone as if 'the cameras being here' was a typical occurrence. Not to mention there seemingly being more cameras visible around the place on the match cam videos, etc. 

 

Looking forward to that. A four-parter sounds ideal. All or Nothing is very formulaic, sanitised and edited in a particular way - not to mention it's long and presumably represents a pretty significant imposition on the club's day to day. I didn't really fancy that for us, along with the associated risk of Eddie Howe becoming a meme, for e.g. Something shorter, more bespoke and personal would be great.
