So more misinformation by a supposed journalist who believes the Etihad deal is a related party agreement. How difficult is it to get facts correct when it’s your job to report facts?

Why do you think it is his job to report facts?

Fair market value is the only term that should come into play.

If MBS wants his name on the Newcastle shirts, so what? It's his club and he should do as he pleases.

As said, as long as they receive fair value, there should be no issue.

Did anybody moan (bar Newcastle fans) when they turned St James Park into the Sports Direct Arena or whatever it was called?

Also what is this vote nonsense about? It is like giving the vote to have Xmas to Turkeys, of course, the Scouse, Rags, three London cunts would never vote in favour of something that will drop them down the league, potentially anyway.

How can the PL believe that this move is anything other than anti-competitive and against the law?

Just wondering what the Saudi’s will be thinking about this move to disrupt their plans. Maybe withdraw their sponsorship from other clubs whilst influencing other areas of the market to do the same.

If I occupied an influential position in relation to a government that awarded huge contracts, I'd make it known, unofficially, that any business contracts would be looked on more favourably if the company tendering were a sponsor of my football club.

It’s a very simple and the oldest way of doing business. To get that lucrative contract, business would be shown a new way to get their product in the public eye. No way better than the glare of billions on the PL.

Agreed - it's almost as though that Guardian piece is utterly confused.

My understanding is that something which is "related party" automatically must be fair value when being assessed for FFP.
However, a non-related party seeking favour in the country does not have to be fair value - that would seem to be of more concern.

He knows it’s inaccurate - but he‘s using it to imply foul play - people reading that will think the Etihad sponsorship is inflated and not fair value. It’s all part of a longe term racially motivated campaign in the guardian…. Remember the row of grinning beards comment….

Its why its time our PR team did something and the club should employ its legal team on all such claims and lies. We are far too soft as a club

Why don’t we just sponsor each other! Etihad for the barcodes & Saudi Aramco on our majestic blue….now that would boil some piss :)
