Kilcline Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Interesting, they're a 777 club (or were) and there was talk of PIF taking a few of their clubs off their hands recently wasn't there? Could be an easy win for them (and us) picking up a handful of clubs 777 have dropped in the shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 PIF owning a bunch of clubs does not feel the same to me as something like United Football Group a la City. Will be interesting to see which way this goes if it ever gets going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t Staveley supposed to be involved in negotiations for some of the clubs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I bet the pay isn't great. Saw a role at NUFC a few weeks ago that sounded similar to my current role (IT Service Management) and it was paying less, apparently the job was a piece of piss as well as "they do very little" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay was 20k less than I'm on. T&C's were pretty Ashley-esq too. 25 days holiday. No paid OT. Work every other weekend (guessing match day) for nothing too - 2 days in the office non-negotiable.

Turnbull2000 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Don't think this will go down well... https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/aug/24/newcastles-saudi-future-may-not-be-what-many-imagined-as-pressure-hits Quote Concerns persist that, thwarted by PSR from making the sort of eye-catching signings they would like, Newcastle are no longer the priority for the PIF, which has plenty of other sporting projects to focus on, including the Saudi Pro League, the 2034 World Cup, LIV Golf and various ventures in boxing, tennis, cricket, motorsport and esports. Quote As Howe returns to Bournemouth on Sunday, the mood is better than it was on Newcastle’s last visit but, in a world of sensible signings and slow growth, the danger is stagnation and the monkey’s paw warning that they might have sold their soul to become an upper-mid-table club.

christ Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I don’t think we are a priority. We’re part of a portfolio of assets that are being used by a nation state to project soft power. This is evident whenever their league buys from elsewhere in the PL at vastly inflated prices. Saudi Arabia is the priority. We’re a vehicle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 They're a massive investment fund, they're not going to prioritise one over another, and will give each the attention they think it deserves at a given time. Another article that paints needless negativity against Newcastle for literally Jo reason. These are starting to add up. Almost like theirs agenda.
