Newcastle Takeover Done

[William Treseder]

The amount if money involved in football now, is verging on the obscene, and has been for a while.
Whether fans agree with it, or the mechanics and morality of it all, is a discussion that could go on for ever.
If more foreign wealth is gonna come into the British game, then i for one, am glad it’s Newcastle.
Their fans have been loyal for what seems an eternity, and apart from the odd flirtation with potential success, have been rewarded with the middle of a doughnut.
It will be a great watch if they begin to ruffle a few bigger feathers..

Agreed ... have always had a soft spot for both NUFC & SFC.

The money invested will immediately benefit the locality.

There is no limit on spending on infrastructure (training facilities / academy etc)

They can increase capacity or build 100k stadium if they want.

There is a limit on how much they can spend on the team ... FFP


Did not realise about the 15/19 Saudis involved in the NY attacks, but the deal has been done so there is no point digging up issues related to the country who is one of the UKs best customers.
