I didn't have high hopes, but what a load of waffle.

here’s my summation:

 

“If the fans dream big then the board dreams bigger, some fans will attest to that. If there were signs of what would happen with the investment then they were whispered away, hushed voices, darting eyes. This was a meeting that decides the course of the football club for the next century. Behind the drawn curtains there were familiar knowing glances and plentiful smiles. This was a meeting that decides so many meetings to come. Should we let ourselves dream? Maybe, just maybe we should let the dust settle and the those knowing smiles turn to knowing glances, even knowing words. For it’s clear that the day when the future is decided is drawing closer”

The article describes a high-stakes meeting at Matfen Hall involving key figures from Newcastle United and the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF). The meeting focused on the club's future, including plans for a new stadium on Leazes Park or a renovated St James’ Park, training grounds, and commercial deals. Attendees included Yasir Al Rumayyan, Eddie Howe, and other top executives. Despite the luxurious setting, there is uncertainty about the Saudis' willingness to fund these ambitious projects. Eddie Howe emphasized the need for significant improvements and investments to compete at the top. The article concludes with a sense of anticipation and uncertainty among supporters awaiting the outcomes of these crucial decisions.

"They met at Matfen Hall and I gained no new or useful information"

If they really want to wine and dine the freemen then I’m after a cup final ticket.
