AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 However you slice it our owners are going to spend absolutely loads of money. Whether they will be made fools of or allow sellers to take the piss is another matter, that’s for them to judge case-by-case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed at 'probably why it keeps increasing'. Love the notion that they're accomplished business people, rather than fascists who won the resources lottery. Kennedy is in line with the nuggets in the fanbase that think that acumen has built up the PIF rather than petrodollars. Staveley did talk about aiming to win the title in ten years - but that still doesn't mean hoying hundreds of millions in. Leicester didn't - the assumption seems to be 'sensible' investment (she talked of 250m over five windows) and capable management would get them there. Ashley talked about winning things too. Most PL owners do. It is a 'wait and see'. The fact that PIF have handed the entire club's running across on a management contract suggests that they do see it as a 'sensible' investment vehicle rather than a sportswashing exercise. 1 hour ago, et tu brute said: In your opinion, the fact bids (allegedly) are flying in left, right and centre for players doesn’t indicate sustainable investment and nor does that fact Staveley came out that their aim is to win the league in five / ten years time (or she is lying). You don’t get into that position without splashing the cash and heavily. A 30m offer for Diego Carlos isn't suggestive of that - and most of the transfer rumours are clear and obvious bollocks. The club could have comfortably been buying players at those prices for years under its own steam - and has been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you already know I disagree with your philosophy of how the club will be ran. We will wait and see though, as the proof will be in the pudding, as they say.

I think you already know I disagree with your philosophy of how the club will be ran. Trippier for c.10m was very sensible -as was his wages. Wood also not insane. You wouldn't need petrodollars for those. Again, Staveley said 50m above what the club could generate each window. Even if they signed BOTH Botman and Carlos for 40m each, that would be in line with that And yeah, I know we disagree on this one - always respectfully of course - we're both working on reasonable suppositions would be my view of it. I can't disprove what you're saying at all - it might well be the case. I'd be more than happy with seeing a major trophy on Tyneside in the next few years ...

I really think it’s massively important we stay up. Crucial imo I'm not so sure on what they could do legally. I mean, they themselves just a few months ago approved the deal. If they change the rules would they actually try and stop teams from being promoted? I think anything that came in before the rules will be fine and it'll be deals that happen after the change that will fail. The PL trying to stop us getting promoted would be an incredible move and one I'm sure that would get laughed out of court, I really can't see it happening. Unless you mean other changes that could pass while we don't have a seat at the table, although I think they'd pass anyway because its us and maybe only City and Chelsea who'd be against them.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 There seems to be an element of shock/surprise from journalists regarding our trip to KSA and I’m not sure if it’s put on, or just stupidity on their part. It’s clearly a sportswashing exercise and I’m not going to attempt to defend it but to me, it was blindingly obvious it was going to happen as soon as we were taken over. Tell me I’m wrong?

I just saw Pep's press conference where a journalist announced that Newcastle are going to Saudi Arabia, and would he be doing the same, and he said no. To me the question reeked of jealousy and resentment constant with the general disillusionment that we are challenging the big boys now. But I must stress, this is just my interpretation.
