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.

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?

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

Quite.. in the context of modern football journalism, the word 'facts' placed next to the word 'journalist' makes for an oxymoron.

Regarding yesterday's PL extraordinary meeting, speaking with with my longstanding, match-going Geordie chum Brian who now lives in York, he was somewhat amazed at the reactions from other clubs and especially the media to the events of the past few weeks since the Toon takeover.

Having listened patiently to his litany of complaints about (ahem! where have we heard these things before..?!) media lies/half-truths and 'Big 4 self-entitlement' and so on and so on, I said 'Welcome to our world, R Kid!'

Fortunately, I ended the phone call having cheered him up somewhat by quoting what I've said on here a couple of times down the years..

'Imagine you're an atom that was created in the split second to the Nth degree at the moment of the Big Bang.. you've travelled through space-time for anything between 12-14 billion years, helping to create galaxies here and nebulae there and also planets along the way.. and you might have helped create a dinosaur or two, even Shakespeare or Mozart.. and then, one day you realise you're one of the 7 octillion atoms required to make a grown up human but you've ended up being in a footy 'journalist' like Delaney or Roan or so many other wastes of space peddling their lies and half-truths for click-bait.. I mean, how f**king disappointed would you be?'

Sadly it’s not just the Yank Red Shirt cartel anymore. The Yanks now seem to have a majority power base in the PL. Aided by the PL. Clubs who fear relegation, now fear Newcastle. Including the 3 promoted clubs. Clubs who want a top 6 or top 4 finish fear Newcastle long-term. Bar City.

Surprised Everton haven't shown some support given their ownership.

What are the odds on BAe becoming a major sponsor of the Geordies, I wonder?
