Their chairman is a bloke called Mohamed El Khereiji, who is a Chelsea fan and is wanting to buy them for about $2.7bn. According to this site.... https://www.mixedarticle.com/mohammed-el-khereiji-net-worth-saudi-media-owner Quote As of 2022, the net worth of Mohammed El Khereiji is around 2.7 billion dollars.

Bompeter Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 The bid won’t have gone ahead without the blessing of the state. Which makes me think there’s a not insignificant risk that the Saudis are looking to pivot their efforts towards Chelsea. If it comes down to an either/or choice, the already-global brand will probably win out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd get terrible publicity for it. Plus they'd have to pay £2.4bn more for Chelsea than they did for us. I'm fairly sure that with even half that pumped into Newcastle, we'd be doing just as well. They also seem really happy here and so far the purchase of Newcastle has gone well. If we were cut adrift in the bottom 3 I might have a little worry, but if we stop up like we look like doing then I cannot see any reason at all to worry.

gbandit Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Bed-wetter chronicles #33: After Newcastle had all but secured their premier league status, whispers of unease developed in the camp. People questioned what was going on with ASM, had he sold his soul to become half-man, half card-game? Returning to the Newcastle team like Gambit from the x-men but with his sights set on crushing Amanda Staveley rather than Everton’s crumbling defence. Elsewhere, rumours gathered pace that PIF were planning to sell NUFC to the Tiger King in an elaborate stitch up, with their heads turned by a club currently unable to be sold.

nbthree3 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Staveley brought PIF to Newcastle not the other way round so I imagine the consortium are happy with us seeing as they bought into the vision years back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately whilst they clearly do want to improve their global image, their laws of the land are immutable as they are the word of god and not subject to reinterpretation. Executing criminals, barbaric as it is, isn't a reflection on how they're likely to deal with the possibility of buying Chelsea and/or selling Newcastle. We are part of a long-term vision they have for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Over 150 individuals and groups have made contact with Raine, the New York-based merchant bank, and a bid between £2billion and £2.5bn has been made by the Todd Boehly-led group. It is also understood there has been firm interest from the Ricketts family and Woody Johnson, owner of the New York Jets. There is still time for new parties to come forward with a bid and Candy, who was at Stamford Bridge on Sunday to watch Chelsea beat Newcastle United, is still planning to make an offer of his own before the deadline that was pushed back from the original date of Tuesday. Sources close to Candy claim he has been approached by a number of investors keen to partner with him and that there will be no shortage of capital from which he can make a bid. On Monday, the 49-year-old was said to be working out who the best partners would be to commit to working with. Telegraph Sport revealed on Sunday that, while Antony Ressler is not expected to make his own offer for Chelsea, his investment company, Ares Management, has offered to provide some funding for groups bidding for the European champions. Chelsea’s need for a quick deal, among other things, places doubt over a claim that a £2.7billion bid has been tabled by the Saudi Media Group, involving a private consortium fronted by Mohamed Alkhereiji who claims to have no Government links despite being pictured on several occasions with crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. Quickly picking through any Saudi-based consortium is rated by those close to the Chelsea sale as being extremely difficult with any bidder needing approval from Raine, the UK Government and the Premier League. The Ricketts family have come under fire in Chicago, where they own the Cubs baseball team, for their reported interest in buying Chelsea. An article in the Chicago Sun-Times, the second biggest newspaper in Chicago, hit out at the Ricketts family, accusing them of making excuses for failing to invest in the Cubs.
