KetsbaiaIsBald Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) It will be interesting if uefa have the bottle to add a wage cap after this. They want one to stop the premierships dominance in the transfer market. if there is another league with no cap players will go there not just at the end of their careers.

Yes, however it would be open to investigation over FFP manipulation. Basically, what Juve was punished for, trading players for inflated values.

Joseph Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 More likely we turn into a feeder club for them. Clearly a huge change of focus from outward to inward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything on record regards their plans for us, and what happens if those plans change? It seems we have a lot of supporter representatives getting chummy with the face of the ownership, not so many actually asking questions and clarifying their plan here. Should this not be what the Trust are for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re more like silent investors - again, very different from PSG & Man City where it was clear from day one who was running things and where they were aiming. Agreed re the Trust. Arse-kissing fans reps are never a good thing; they’re far too desperate to be close to those running the club. Arms-length is more appropriate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all know that isn’t happening of course - why flog their stake now when they could in the future for a much larger figure. You just need to see the increase in Forbes valuation in 12 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikky Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I was actually impressed with Al Hilal in terms of who they had when we played them - this despite them missing all their WC players with the money they have they can exploit so many markets - like the South American one for example Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) 2 of them play in Riyadh, and the other 2 play in Jeddah. I wonder if they will merge the two clubs from the same cities and create a ‘United’ team in each city? Edited June 5, 2023 by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I can’t really see any upside for Newcastle in this move , apart from more bad publicity from journalists Also makes a mockery of the Saudi league , 4 clubs controlled by one (owner / company) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper business-speak wank. It’s obviously bad for sport for one owner - in this instance, the funding arm of a dictatorship - to own its four most popular clubs.
