Newcastle United takeover?

[domalino]

It seems like the sticking point was PIF being involved - the Saudi wealth fund - which would mean they're literally owned by the country Saudi Arabia.

This is distinctly different from us being owned privately by Sheikh Mansour throuh his private fund ADUG.

Now we might all know that HHSM might be little more than a figurehead and Khaldoon/the exec council are the real players, but on paper it's Mansour.

I wonder if the Saudi's will come back with a similar private ownership figurehead installed.

Side with the devil, get burned by the devil

LFC sticking their oar in ? European Royalty behaving like spoiled children , surely not ?

Of course. We're the new Millwall.

"No one likes us, we don't care"

The old Millwall can keep this clown.

I'll gladly take the old fella that fought the murdering machete weilding terrorist in London all the while yelling "Fuck you! I'm Millwall!"

Sounds silly but could they blame us in any of this?

Of course.

It's our fault we got a new owner and pissed on their little party

It's a shame for the fans. I've posted quite negatively in here about Newcastle and at the end of the day I prefer the club than Mike Ashley as a person.

It's probably a bigger reflection on me and so be it if that's the case, but it's impossible for me to look past Newcastle now without thinking of True Geordie and I for one hope he's fucking gutted.

I know Ashley stuck his oar in on the CAS appeal but I still really wanted this to go through. Another shocking example of shithouse American owners trying to make the PL an uncompetitive closed shop.
