Sheikh Khaled attempting to purchase Newcastle

[Andrew___K]

So if this kicks into gear and wolves carry on, the Saudi's put their money into Sheffield United, we only need 2 more takeovers in the league before United are finishing bottom half.

Seriously though, imagine having a big 10 instead of a top 6. Would that be better? or would the drop from 10-11 just be 40 points and it'd lead to a split.

Such league would surely overtake even 90's Serie A in terms of dominance. And it would be a serious hit at Angelli's Super CL plans. Why implement it at the expense of your domestic league if the latter is drowning in cash?

A one club city, 50,000+ a week attendance not hard to see why someone would buy them.

It would completely change the proposition from, "lets all quit and make our own super league" to the English clubs extending an invite to the Bayern, Real, Barca etc to join our existing one, on our terms.

It would turn the Premier League into football's NBA/NHL with the other massive clubs filling in for the Canadian teams, which is what Tebas and Rumminegge have been terrified of for years.

Scudamore should be pushing for if he was really looking after the best interests of the Premier League.

Why are people here celebrating about getting more tougher competition in the league? My best interest is only for City and how they can win, having another team who can spend big is not in our best interests.

Half brother and he is based in Dubai from what I read..so maybe not that much oil money :)

 

[Mid Wales blue]

Good on them. Will the Prem soon have a big seven then?

It’ll probably be a big 15 before long!

;-)

Does that mean the rags would be 16th ? Oh well it's a start.

We can but dream!

Hopefully Newcastle will become a friendly club for us? Chelsea have done some lucrative deals, with clubs they are friendly with, eg with PSG for David Luiz. Maybe someone at Newcastle will take our less favoured players for a decent price? I hope they don't become a bitter rival.

 

[newfaceinhell]

Makes good sense , and it is already getting the dippers and the rags flapping, I welcome the competition,
fuck the so called established big four and there constant whinging , and underhand tactics.

Having another club competing at the top of the League will make it more interesting and will upset the two cheeks of the same arse more than any of the others.

It will also be good for us, in that it will keep Pep and the players on their toes to stay ahead of the increased competition.

I hope this is true; I, for one, welcome the challenge.

 

[cityboy1]

Dont this will make much of a difference tbh thanks to ffp any club can only spend what they make this will probably mean there more competitive for the europa league spot like wolves are

 

[BosnianBlue]

yep, with both uefa and pl ffps around and the state Newcastle are in now, they'd need 5-10 years just to be realistic top 4 contender.

 

[RandomJ]

Yeah sadly for them they would be limited to what they could spend. As hard as they tried we managed to slip in through the door before they slammed it shut on other clubs.

 

[mat]

I bet the barcodes are hoping Ashley doesn't go on the piss again missing another meeting. Otherwise @Stockport mackem might see Dybala sign for them.

 

[mccity]

Absolutely disgusting. If some Arab oil money men came to buy our club I'd be out of here in no time! Grr!

 

[RadcliffeRick]

Interesting to see what slant this knob puts on it if it happens!!

Don't be a pussy.

On the FFP think, maybe the sheikhs cousin knows something about the future travel of that

We won the lottery in 2008,i wouldn't deny anyone else the same luck as that would be incredibly small time.
