Maybe we should go for a 100 of those deals👍

It remains a head scratcher to me that they haven’t tried something along those lines.  It has been painfully slow in terms of getting sponsors in

Yes, I'm amazed we haven't gone down that road or exploited other loopholes like Chelsea.

I don't mind Saudi Arabia hosting it as it's a middle sized country population wise and when I was last there about 10 years ago I did see a fair few people playing football. 

 

Qatar was a joke at the place is so small. Another World Cup that could only be held in Winter would be a joint bid from SE Asia countries, say Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore that would be amazing.

I like the sound of multi club. Don’t like the sound of 777.

 

Though I do like this 

 

“It's understood PIF believe a multi-club network, coupled with proposed new financial rules similar to UEFA's squad cost control measures, will give them more financial freedom and allow Newcastle to compete with the big six.”

He probably means we're trying to buy seven hundred and seventy seven feeder clubs 

[Abacus]

Which, errr, we then wouldn't be allowed to get players from or Ratcliffe would explode, come to think of it.

I read it as a short cut to multi club model

 

Buy out 777 

 

Sounds life an ideal plan

Only if we're in the same competition.

Yeah, and I guess it would also be a short route to loaning players back and forth.

You could be right having read further. They seem a little distressed financially.

Quote

Meetings have taken place, with Red Star (France) and Standard Liege (Belgium) both discussed. PIF-entity SURJ has also been involved in discussions. 777 also owns Genoa in Italy, Hertha Berlin in Germany and Vasco de Gama in Brazil, and holds minority stakes in Sevilla and Melbourne Victory.

 

That's the key quote, looks like they're buying a club off 777 rather than partnering with them.

Anything which helps us is a good thing but fuck me what a mess football is - multi club absolutely stinks.

With this new arena down the quayside running into financial problems, would surely be an avenue for PIF to explore and maybe step in.

 

Would be an excellent revenue stream for the club potentially and I’m sure they could build something even grander than originally proposed.

 

Clearly in early days of their ownership, but would really like some plans for infrastructure investment in the city which would be a lasting legacy.

Aren’t city’s owners involved with that new arena in Manchester?

Far as I’m aware the City Group own it alongside an American music group, the new arena has definitely ground to a halt due to soaring costs, could be a great opportunity for PIF to step in.
