McCormick Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) Why would a Saudi team spend their transfer budget on helping us? Imagine being a fan of Al-Ittihad, giddy with excitement that you’re signing Benzema, only for your team to loan him to Newcastle . It’s as likely as us sending them Tonali on loan. Fanciful stuff.

They are owned by the same owners. Would be a way to avoid FFP and get their best talent assembled on their most globally known team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I don’t think we should conflate what they’re doing with the Saudi league with their investment in us. They’re trying to build out a league with as many stars as they can get, it’s nothing to do with Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Should we expect to get Mickey Mouse on loan as they have the same owners? Each company under the PIF banner has its own set of vested interests and ownership models, man. I’d argue getting the Saudi League a broader worldwide audience is of more importance to vision 2030 than helping us out at their expense. The teams acquired by PIF have massive followings in KSA, their fans would be furious! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn’t but I would also say I very much doubt they have a budget. At a push maybe about £5 billion is their budget but could well be more.

BonesJones Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 If PIF was to sneakily put money into one of the clubs they aren't associated with over there, wouldn't it be quite difficult for the FFP police to trace that back to them? Then they just get that club to buy player x. Win, win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelrouser Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Everyone expected PIF to come in and start throwing money around and breaking the rules like City.

I agree with you on that, what is PIF's actual investment strategy ? from the company's they have invested in, including the Golf, they seem content to provide capital but seem happy to let others run the business.

(Very much hope so!!) I’m starting to think that Gordon will be seen as the starting RW this season, don’t think we will be signing someone else.
