From the Chronic:

 

New Toon director Majed Al Sorour certainly enjoyed himself on Monday night during the 2-0 win over Arsenal as he celebrated with players and fans alike following the terrific evening against the Gunners.

Afterwards, he took to his Linkedin account and stated: "Next season will be better". In the past Newcastle's top brass have tried to manage expectations and not allow people to get carried away.

But it should be noted that there is not only bright ambition at St James' Park these days, there is also a calmness when it comes to doing business. Eddie Howe hinted at that this week when saying United would wait for the right deals.

When replying to another fan on his social account Al Sorour spoke about the vision at the club in their bid to reach the top, commenting: "We will do whatever it takes."

I think (my opinion) 

we will always look to improve / get the best deals possible 

 

doesn’t always mean spending the most money but if a deal opens up , we will do our best to get it done 

 

I don’t think budgets matter , it’s about getting the players the manager wants / needs to improve us.

 

it could be loans / Bosmans/ big signings or solid premier league level signings like Burn.

 

The difference is , these owners have ambition and will not stand still 

 

If the January window comes up and we need someone , we will sign someone , if we have money in January and nothing crops up , I can see us not signing anyone (as it all depends on getting the right players in , with the right attitude and the sort of player to fit into our system / squad) 

 

Times are changing and it’s going to be our turn to have some excitement in the transfer windows ??

I'd love Ousmane Dembele as our Robinho moment. Even though his attitude is considered questionable, I think he'd be next level and a huge statement - him and ASM on each wing would be dangerous. And I trust Howe to tame him. When he signed for Barca they said he was a future Ballon D'or winner in the making. 

 

Majed, make it happen.

I hope we dont go that route, but i'd love our Robinho moments either Salah or Mbappe. That would be a grand statement from PIF about their intent and ambition.

I was against his signing and mentioned it several times on here, combination of his constant injuries and a hit and miss end product 

 

However, since January he's been brilliant, he's remained fit and he's racked up the assists, so much so with 13 he has the most in La Liga this season (11 of those coming from Feb onwards). So him on the RW would be an impressive signing but I get the feeling he'll be staying in Barca.

I don't. There's a valid reason why Howe wants certain character in the squad. ASM is already a part of the squad, and therefore worth working with. he's not bringing in disruptive personalities for a personal challenge.

 

*Edit to clarify: I'm not saying he IS a difficult character.

This is exactly what he said.. and also surprised nothing was said that there were members of the Royal family there on Monday…

 

 

”What an incredible win
Walking the pitch, saying thank you to the fans, the coaches And the players was beautiful expression of content. Next season will be better
Your royal highness Prince Khalid bn bander our ambassador to the UK thanks for attending the match with your wife. 
Jamie Rubein, Amanda And Mehrdad, what an amazing end for a home game 
Mr Chiarman yasir Al Rumayyan 
Thank you for your trust on me and wish you were here with us on an amazing win 
 #nufc #premierleague #newcastle #vision2030 #saudiarabia #saudivision2030”

 

And then his replies in the comments were

 

We will do all it takes

 

Very soon we will turn to the city and the area together and make them all better

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/may/24/government-did-encourage-premier-league-to-approve-saudi-newcastle-takeover?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

 

Boris Johnson’s government worked for months to encourage the Premier League to approve the controversial Saudi Arabia-backed takeover of Newcastle United, a Guardian investigation can reveal.

 

Grimstone’s work appears to have extended as far as trying to broker a solution to the Saudi piracy of Premier League and other sports TV rights bought by the Qatari broadcaster BeIN, which was seen as a barrier to the takeover being approved.

 

I don't think it's anything we didn't know before?

"However the Premier League did not approve the takeover then, and only did a year later after the PIF provided “legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control Newcastle United”. Although some Premier League clubs were incensed this was accepted, sources close to the process have explained that the assurances did make a crucial difference to the legal advice, so that KSA was no longer considered a controlling party."

 

Reason the takeover happened when it did

More Guardian drivel it was Grimstones role to facilitate inward investment, of course he’d be asking questions why it had been blocked. The whole of Tyneside demanded to know why it had been blocked it was in the public interest.
