PIF and RB Sports & Media

Which outlet has led you to believe that? Most if not all of the reporting I’ve read has been accurate in regards to our ownership structure.


Sure PIF has made the headlines but that is good reporting based on the fact they are the 80% majority owners and the fact they are the controversial element of the consortium.

PIF are apparently interested in Santos who are in financial trouble and looking to be bailed out.

Yes please. Huge and popular club. And play in B&W. Source?

“There’s a strategy in place,” the senior figure says. “It’s not random. We will go for big players but the price has to make sense and it’s all about what our needs are. At no point do we have the intention of making a statement signing. The intention is to get the right player, the right character, the right position, the right fit. Sandro is a marquee addition, yes, but what’s important is these guys believe in our story and what we’re offering them — the opportunity for greatness.”

 

A case in point: Declan Rice. While Howe and Newcastle are full of admiration for the England midfielder, who is joining Arsenal from West Ham United, they are not yet at the stage where they can pay £100million-plus and a weekly wage of more than £200,000 for a single player, who wants “all the bells and whistles”. Their approach from day one has been to develop and grow, develop and grow.

 

The hope is that Tonali can be “as good as Rice, maybe better, but “we’d rather do it this way. We want to be No 1, but in the right way; smart, sustainable, different to everyone else. We’re not spending Manchester United, Manchester City or Arsenal money. It’s smart for us and it’s good for him as well. These boys are coming to us to be part of history.”

 

 

Was thrilled to read this in The Athletic's write-up of the Tonali transfer. Particularly the bit in bold.

I honestly don’t know how I’ll feel when we do eventually win something.
