Likelylad Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I think it’s a combination of a desperate media latching onto a non story for clicks and maybe a little desperate hope it could become an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Looks like a load of managers are being asked about the takeover in their press conferences.

NUFC_Chris Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I can’t believe they’re actually asking questions re vague US court documents, to do with Golf, of other teams managers. Tells you all you need to know about the journalists in question and it’s got eff all to do with any concern for human rights, in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 There clearly is a desperation from others for PIF to sell and buy one of the established big boys. They’ve already stated why they won’t do this - and it should be fucking obvious really. Man City and Chelsea - despite how much has been pumped in - are worth more than the invested capital pumped in over the last couple of decades. Abramovich made a significant profit; Abu Dhabi would do the same if they sold Man City today. What’s the point of buying Man Utd for £5-6bn if you view it as an investment? There is a real danger there that you make a grand loss. If you buy a Newcastle for £300-odd million (or a Leeds, Villa, Everton etc), pump a £1bn+ in (and you get wise minds to run it - take note, Everton), you can pretty much guarantee you’ve got a £2-3bn football club within a decade. Plus, ALL the glory is yours - Man Utd and Liverpool fucking win things! How much kudos is there in being the owners who win Liverpool their seventh European Cup?

If I were an investor worth multiple billions of pounds/dollars/euros, and had no particular club affiliation (which very few, if any, have), I'd choose to buy a long underperforming club with a past pedigree and large and passionate supporter base. A club that has the potential to compete at the very top and, if not for the advent of the PL and the nouveau "elite" clubs, could have reached the peak a decade or two ago; eg. one of the Sheffield clubs or, cough, Sunderland.

Wolfcastle Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Death by a thousand pricks sort of thing. If they keep at it every time a court somewhere says something about a PIF investment they'll be on it and hope eventually through boredom something will be done/said. Amnesty its their raison d'etre, but others have a varying anti Saudi, anti NUFC, pro other clubs, pro their own personal agenda interest in it.

duo Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 The knives are out in the press. Am not worried as there is no chance the Premier League will do anything. It's obvious we're owed by the State and it's naive to think the Premier League didn't know. This changes nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I would feel better if there was some kind of reasonable release clause attached to any deal e.g. no strings freedom after 15 years or something.
