Keegans Export Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 Personally I never expected NUFC to be their top priority, or even close. Bin Salman spent more on a painting for his yacht than PIF spent buying 80% of the club. Quote “The chairman said we want to be the number one club in the country,” a source told Telegraph Sport. “What does that mean in reality? “Well, the message has always been consistent. It is about achieving long-term, sustainable success. To challenge for trophies every year, to try and qualify for the Champions League every year. ...but that sounds more than good enough to me.

Abacus Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 There's nothing much new in that article, just speculation. More generally, I think this connection between the real thoughts of the owners and the fans is something we're missing with Amanda Staveley being gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 God forbid they turn us into a sustainable club, that produces home grown talent and regularly is in the frame to battle for UCL and titles when the stars align for that season. How would we cope with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KetsbaiaIsBald Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 I think the article was fair. And I completely agree with the stadium announcement being kicked down the road. We've waited all year for the announcement and it was basically "phase 1 is complete, we're now starting phase 2". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 I'm gutted that all that want to do is turn us into a sustainable club fighting for trophies and champions league football every season. I'm so happy Luke has revealed this disgrace of a revelation! Next they'll be revealing plans for a brand new multi purpose stadium, the bastards! Livid!

NSG Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 We’re important enough for the Governor of PIF to fly over to the city multiple times a season, for him to stroll around golf courses wearing NUFC merch and for him to have spent knocking on a billion quid on the club over the last three years.

About as best you can put it. What the press continue and fail to mention is Yasir is a sport mad guy. Outside of all of the other sectors PIF are invested in, this sport stuff is likely his favorite and the one he's personally driving along. I am convinced of that, 100%.

WilliamPS Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 Boring article. PIF are the sovereign wealth fund with fingers in loads of pies, we all know that. Be a bit weird if a football club was their number one priority, vs. Much bigger investments in stuff like Uber, or the crazy city they are building in the desert. Boxing and golf are also not number one priority- doesn’t mean the Saudi s aren’t bothered about those Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted October 10, 2024 Share Posted October 10, 2024 (edited) Nobody ever mentioned a Barcelona style sporting club, what’s the daft cunt going in about the Falcons and Eagles for, it’s almost like he wants to put a negative slant on everything. In 5 years time if there’s no progress on infrastructure projects then criticism will be valid, but everything is pointing towards huge investment in the stadium project that we could only have dreamed of 3 years ago.
