Ah a 'Geordie' Conn.....is there an FCTOON he can follow instead?

Let's see what that meat head dickhead one true geordie says about it. If he can stop himself being dodgy with young girls that is. F8cking prick!

We should spam the **** with his previous videos about City if Newcastle start spending billions and he’s happy about it. Get to see the true colours of mr steroid.

They’re literally owned by the Saudi state investment fund. Whoever wrote that isn’t smart.

Someone writing for BBC who isn’t smart? Perish the thought.

Fuck I would not want the Saudis running City.

More thought I've given it,is not many super stars will want to live up there neither,that will come into it for sure,so no point in the giddyness starting just yet.

However money talks I suppose

'Boro managed to sign Juninho and Ravanelli. Newcastle won't have too many problems enticing players of a certain standing to sign for them if they offer an attractive financial package. It won't appeal to every player but I reckon they'll get enough on board to help them challenge for the top 4 in a couple of seasons or so and, later, for the title. Assuming they make decent appointments on the manager/coaching side of course.

Heads will roll ;)

 

[asahartford1]

wonder who they'll appoint as CEO, they need someone who has knowledge of running a football club. will Garry Cook make a return to premier league?

Unless he "bottles " it

 

[sd33]

they want citys academy director as their sporting director

Assume we will have an ally now ?

Can't hurt. If stereotypes about the gulf states hold true (I don't know enough to know if they're accurate or not), the Saudi's will be a lot more confrontational and vocal about any perceived racial sentiment or xenophobia, any ganging up of the American owners etc. which I imagine suits City quite nicely, being able to have that stuff said out loud without being the one saying it.

We don't know how involved MBS & co. will actually be though. I would't want to fall into the trap that so much of the media does and assume Saudi Arabia investing a piddling amount of their money in Newcastle means it's the personal project of MBS and incredibly important to him.
