Given that neither UEFA nor the PL are run by the UK govt, I’d say that it won’t change a thing Edit: and we are owned by KSA, nothing alleged about it.

Ben Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 Well, after a long and arduous, hard fought one horse race, it looks like the Saudis will finally get the 2034 World Cup confirmed this Wednesday, well done lads you played a blinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where you’ve got that from but odds on the ministry site will become housing, Tyneview Park is already being advertised before DWP vacate, probably in next couple of years. There will be a new training ground but it won’t be in a heavy residential area like Longbenton, far more likely to be out towards the Airport.

Kid Icarus Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 Not a fan of the Saudis to say the least, don't want us to be owned by them, and think the comparison between their ownership of us and the private capital ownership of other clubs was apples and oranges, but, I do very much think that in this case which is much more like-for-like, the reaction to it has a huge tinge of double standards and Western exceptionalism to it tbh. It's one degree of separation and a foreign policy vs a domestic policy of difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost to expand doesn’t count against PSR. Any extra money from tickets sold whether it be football or other events does. No brainer for them.

I was at a CL game this season and I felt slightly embarrassed for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted December 13 Share Posted December 13 If you look at the plans for the expanded stand at Man City, the seats aren't for punters to sit in, they're just tens of thousands of seat shaped LED's to broadcast massive adverts They've also proposed removing the hybrid grass from their pitch and replacing it with a giant LED advert Allegedly.
