Sheikh Khaled attempting to purchase Newcastle

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

That's how I read it as well.

As we stand, they'll hit a ceiling like Everton's owners

It can be circumnavigated the new owner should buy the local Newcastle Brown Ale brewery, sign a shirt sponsorship deal with them and get a top notch server and make sure no one blabs over the numbers about it over email.

Unless he buys the student flats they built on the site

Not related to Sheikh Mansour

Owned by Heineken

And now brewed in the Netherlands since 2017. Ironic really when so many of their continental beers are brewed over here.

Which is one thing noone can ever accuse your mob of

I once went to an evening kick off at Maine Road. MCFC v Brentford, my mate played for them. Hardly a massive draw but for a league one fixture there were 26500 there. THATS a following.

Your following isn't too shabby either mate!

Imagine the reaction on rawk of we play Newcastle last game of the season and need a win to win the title.

Been there, done that already.

Will be funny listening to Newcastle fans being upbeat about this takeover, they've been one of the worst sets of fans complaining about our money

True I suppose. I still can’t think why really. Shat on by owners and chairmen forever (I realise we’re not alone here)

We’ve had so many false dawns it’s unreal. Take 2000 for instance. Rio Ferdinand, Michael carrick, joe Cole, frank lampard, Trevor Sinclair, Jermaine Defoe, Paolo Di canio, Freddie kanoute to name a few.

Unbelievable squad. F@cked up by not investing just a bit further and of course being managed by the tactically inept no plan b Redknapp.

I really could f@cking cry. Ha ha

 

[Claytop]

Hmm got a feeling this guy isn’t legit, or has nowhere near the wealth of Mansour.

 

[McfcJ]

This currently has the feel of that Portsmouth takeover by Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim. When he took over, he was labelled as the man who fronted our takeover and everyone believed he was as wealthy as Sheikh Mansour, but turned out to be a flush.

 

[The Riot Club]

I wouldn't begrudge the Geordies a rich owner and finally a real chance of silverware. Their fans have been through shit the same as us. Plus it's about time another proper club with big, loyal support gave the rags and scousers something to worry about and won trophies instead of them.

This is the guy. Seem legit enough

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Made up for the Geordies, massive potential and a superb fanbase

Nah, I think this guy is genuine and comfortably has access to the required funds. People saying his bid for Liverpool fell through but that was for something like 5 or 6 times the price and I'm not sure what really went on there. Mixed messages about failing to provide proof of funds but also that FSG weren't wanting to sell anyway

 

[razman]

Totally agree with this ...and seen here with some posters as well.

This guy is a Dubai Billionaire ! (Details still sketchy)
With apparently NO connection to Abu Dhabi and hence Sheikh Mansour

No where near loaded with cash.

You've had some quality players that's for sure. Hopefully Manuel can move you a bit further on next season.

They have no way of financing a big move due to the FFP rules in place, TV money makes it a sound investment over a good length of time however so can see the appeal. We got through the doors just before they slammed shut. They will need some big sponsors and sales to even have a chance of meeting FFP if they want to spend big.

Everton and Wolves have spent considerable sums. Just getting rid of Ashley and bringing someone in who is prepared to invest in the playing squad would be a start.

I don't think many Newcastle fans will be stupid enough to think that just because he's from the UAE, that he will have the same intentions and plans as Sheikh Mansour. It depends entirely on the individual's circumstances and not his nationality.

Ditching Ashley, undoubtedly they would bring in alot more commercial revenue that would piss all over their sports direct and dodgy betting co current deals, the TV money could be used for the club and not Ashley's mattress, so even within PL FFP restrictions they are instantaneously in a much stronger position if this goes through. £350m seems massively under priced though especially given just the tv money covers this in just 2-3 seasons.
