Is that reporter seriously suggesting that they are looking at Inter and Bordeaux as feeder clubs? 

Staveley has said that they were looking at them as alternatives to Newcastle, and have no interest anymore.

 

Imagine if Qatar has succeeded in preventing them to buy us, but as a result had led to them buying Bordeaux and blowing PSG away.

No I know that and the way she was talking it was as options instead of Newcastle, not as feeder clubs which that reporter seemed to be suggesting.

Not so sure, but the club itself was expensive with the joint expense of the new San Siri to come and some alleged debt.

It would be hard to recoup that money back because the TV rights for Serie A is small, and Saudi Arabia are the ones paying one of the highest broadcasts deals for them. Champions League revenue aside, they wouldn’t make all that much.

It sounds very similar to Qatar’s takeover of PSG, it was between them and Leeds, with them still being linked with Leeds. Had Leeds not been where they were at the time and in the Premier League, they would have bought Leeds and a Premier League club over PSG. They have done well with PSG, but the domestic broadcast rights are pitiful. If they we’re given the choice now I think they would buy Leeds over PSG.

Qatar buying PSG was a condition of France (Sarkozy)/Platini, in his role at UEFA, supporting the Qatar World Cup bid. There was also some big investment in France (maybe an arms deal or gas, can't remember) attached to the World Cup. That's what I read in David Conn's book The Fall of the House of Fifa. Leeds weren't in the equation.

Urgent: An informed source confirms, "Al Qiddiya is the next sponsor of the Newcastle shirt."

 

Cool - I can read the Qu’ran but don’t understand the majority of words

I can't but I can use the translate tweet link :bluestar:

 

Follow that link and watch the video.    I did and it has just sunk in how much our new owners are worth and also the vision they have!   We are in for one hell of a ride!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10196601/Premier-League-plan-curb-Newcastle-Man-City-spending-preventing-use-global-network.html

 

The Premier League are planning to bring in new rules to prevent clubs using their feeder and/or satellite teams to pay players and coaches in another attempt to curb the spending power of Manchester City and Newcastle.

The new regulations will form part of tightened restrictions on related-party sponsorship deals which are set to be agreed later this month in a direct response to the £305million Saudi Arabian-led takeover of Newcastle.

Newcastle’s new owners have made it clear they are planning to follow the City Football Group model of establishing a global network of clubs, leading to fears among some top-flight rivals that such a set-up could be used to circumvent Financial Fair Play regulations.  

 

The lengths these cunts are going to to try and stop us growing is criminal mind.

 

The absolute audacity of the big clubs blatantly just doing it to stop competition is astonishing. Like, they aren't even trying to hide it.

It would literally be impossible to do it.

How would you prevent one club from buying a player and loaning him? Unless FIFA got involved and changed all the transfer rules you couldn’t get away with it.

The flagrant nature of what they’re doing is almost of eye-opening as the stupidity of the other 13 clubs falling into line behind them.

 

Haven’t they worked out this potentially makes them less appealing to future buyers?

Cheers for that. I've spent a lot of time lurking the forums of the other big teams and I have to say I've found City fans to feel like comrades in arms against the "red shirts" as they are known on the Blue Moon forum. I'd like to see more City fans on here tbh. Very similar club to NUFC both before and after our respective takeovers.

Cheers and agree, we have the Keegan connection with his magnificent brand of football as well it was a huge disappoint that the rags slipped in and won the league that season
We now have the bond of having hugely rich owners and the rest are against us, led by the yank clubs Like I say, get set for a bumpy ride, at least we had the honeymoon period when they thought Mansour would get bored when they realised City were are threat then the attacks started. Its amazing how many of the pet journalist developed a keen interest in human rights

I'm fine with the sponsorships being limited to actual value. Yeah they're changing it because of us, but still it's a good thing its changing and they're atleast trying to do something to enforce FFP. 

FFP was introduced to protect the Sky 4 and the European "elite" don't believe otherwise. Despite what they try to tell you its stated purpose hasnt worked look at the debt of certain clubs at record levels. Luckily for City we got in before its real effects set in and our turnover is now in the top 5 in Europe. The issue of related parties standard accountancy practice where any parties have to be declared by directors and examined by the auditors and included in company accounts, set out in international standards its hard for football authorities to argue with. Fair value is generally accessed by independent experts, City's deal with Etihad is not a related party as Sheikh Mansour is not a share holder nor does he have any managerial or executive positions It was accessed for fair value and if memory serves me right passed with out change, as it wasn't just front of shirt but included stadium and academy naming rights. This latest move by the yanks and backed by all but City is clearly aimed at yourselves and for me, the principal of right to trade legal challenge would be successful No worries there are lots of ways around bringing in deals
