Wandy Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) The Saudis should send a letter to those clubs saying "think VERY carefully about your next decision". It was CAT that forced through this takeover, I have no doubt of that. And dealing with these clubs through the same organisation will be an absolute breeze compared to getting the club sold.

Dokko Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 As long as we can bring in sponsorship at the same levels as those around us then i'll be very happy. We've survived off fresh air for so long just spending the money we make is a massive step forward, never mind opportunities from elsewhere. We've a reported £190m to spend on players. If we spend that over 3 seasons we'd be laughing (Howe spent the same over 4 seasons - just saying) whilst in that time we'll have earned more money and improved deals. Any money spend in infra isn't included and that's where we desperately need it the most. They can slow this down, but not stop it and eventually it'll happen.

Bimpy474 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 So we can only be sponsored by someone the other 18 clubs agree with, or don't disagree with should that be, sounds fair that like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxst Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I don’t understand the logic, as all sponsorship has to be at a fair market value anyway, doesn’t it? It’s already regulated with regards to the amount we can get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's the thing, Man City allegedly got around the rules, hence the court/legal thingy with UEFA I think it is, going on with them over it.

PCW1983 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 There’s a really good interview with Yasir on YT, listening to him speak makes me think that there’s not a lot the EPL could do that he won’t have either thought of or mitigated against.

nufcnick Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Imagine how disappointed the other 18 teams will be when Saudi sponsors Manchester City to the tune of £500m and Abu Dhabi sponsor Newcastle United to the tune of £500m, when Saudi and Abu Dhabi do a deal amongst themselves.

FloydianMag Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 So the 18 twats who are trying to change sponsorship rules haven’t given a thought to changing the 0&D test to consider moral issue’s when clubs are taken over. Fucking hypocrites the lot of them. This needs legal challenges which hopefully the club will be considering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Why isn’t this being criticised and why was news released shortly after the takeover was confirmed after months of doubt?

madras Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 We know the way FFP fines have worked in the past, 200milluon over ffp, 10million fine or a years transfer embargo after they've already bought everyone they wanted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Looks like we're going Saudia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 A Saudi Arabian airline is one of the frontrunners to become Newcastle's new sponsor after a favoured option of having the Crown Prince's "Vision 2030" project emblazoned on shirts was scuppered. Legally-binding assurances to the Premier League around no state involvement at the club and now a vote from rivals to clampdown on owner sponsors has made up the new owners' minds. Prior to the initial takeover approach collapsing a year ago, discussions had taken place around giving significant prominence to Vision 2030, the Mohammed bin Salman-led plan to diversify Saudi's economy away from oil. However, the prospect of advertising such an explicit connection to Saudi's controversial leadership had been fading even prior to a Premier League vote on Monday to temporarily ban owner-funded deals. Now it is two other long-term options - the Saudia airline or potentially a Saudi-based new tour operator - that are being earmarked by insiders as the most likely next shirt and stadium brands. There is confidence within Newcastle that bringing in a Saudi-based corporate sponsor will not be a long-term problem despite hostility from club rivals at a meeting this week.

It’s all complete and utter bullshit and was proved by Man City being allowed back into the CL recently, paltry fines and Chelsea’s one year transfer embargo. The minute any half decent lawyer challenges this bogus shit, nowt would stand up or stick. It’s nothing but an empty threat mainly to keep the smaller little insignificant clubs in check, but guess what, we are the big boys in Toon now and they fucking hate it.
