christ Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 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, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 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.

Ben Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 PIF have done nothing to suggest any of that article is true, they own us and they run us as a going concern, the minute the handbrake is off we will fly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 A week since we come out saying that we are building a new multi billion pound stadium and they put the doom feelers out. 6 weeks ago PIF increased their stake in the club and ousted owners owners who couldn’t keep up the pace of investment. It’s just a load of guff to fill newspaper space/gain clicks. Everyone knows why we haven’t went out and bought Mbappe and fought off Real Madrid for new players.

Danh1 Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 Been a poor transfer window so far, but that aside, I don’t see anything that would suggest anything but ambition? Some key off the field appointments this summer, the comments from one of them talking about moving up here from Manchester because of the ambition… PSR is a cunt, surely that bubble will burst at some point.

Hovagod Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 “The image of the monkey’s paw derives from a 1902 short story by WW Jacobs” Fucking hell, they don’t half lean in on their middlebrow references do they?
