I like that everyone assumes that Levy, who is A. A minority owner. and B. Employed by the club. Is going to sell it. That's going to be Lewis' prerogative.

And if we are going to sell I'd rather not become a gulf state plaything.

So that rules out the Russians too, and the Chinese. American foreign policy can be quite oppressive so let's count them out. Israel would be crossed off the list too along with the most of the Middle-East. Anyone know of any Latvians with a bit of money?

This is disingenuous at best. Who are "The Chinese" or "The Americans". You indirectly address the heart of the matter; an individual bussiman say Bezos is not the sovereign wealth fund of a country, that is the by proxy owner of PSG . Then its state ownership pure and simple and you have to look at what that state is. The Saudis behead more people than ISIS, some for alleged sexual immorality. Have a proper read around the death of Jamal Khassogi and see how closely implicated Newcastle prospective owners are. I'm sorry but it's not a simple as "behind every great fortune there is a great crime" In this case in front of the fortune comes a shit load of murderizing. Bezos is a greedy ass but he is not this.

It would be amazing. We'd rival City.

But no, in the next few years we'll have to watch the Geordies win everything and dominate for years.

Sell up Levy. Youve proved for years you aren't good enough to make the Club successful on the pitch.

Honestly I'm getting past caring these days.

Football is just about the money period, Eriksen's about to prove that, to go and collect a phat wage by taking an arguably backwards step in footballing terms to an inferior league.

Then we get this winter break, so that the snow flakes can have a couple of weeks off. Of course no mention of the elephant in the room which is all these money spinning pre-season tournaments that clubs will still continue to enter - Its not just pre-season now either is it? there is now usually an end of season tour included as well.

While they all collect their ludicrous wages and the likes of Klopp disrespects the oldest cup tournament in the world.

And don't even get me started on VAR.

Then there is paying £30-40 million for some no mark 20 year old that nobody has heard of outside of football manager.

Then you've got lower league teams with more sponsors names on their shirt than a formula one driver, just trying to eke it out and survive.

Sick of all of it to be honest. I'm not religious but its like the last decadent days of Sodom and Gomorrah

I wish all the money fell out of it and we could go back to how it was.
 
Plaything of a murdering rogue state currently committing human rights abuses to its own citizens and causing one of the worst humanitarian disasters this century in Yemen?

Nah, I'd rather have Mike Ashley.

A bigger question is;

If the Saudis did buy us how many would stop supporting Spurs ?

I think I would still be Spurs, though not without misgivings.

I don't think it's possible to stop supporting a club - for that, there's too many memories associated with it. It's become part of your identity.

You might stop going to matches, not be as involved on the forum or something, but you'll always be looking out for the results and wanting to know roughly what's going on at the club.

Get the fucking Saudis in. I’m up for that.

we are well on our way to becoming an Islamic country as it is. We might aswell bag a few trophies along the way
 
Not sure why they're suddenly so interested in football. They come from a desolate, barren place - lifeless for the most part, and probably nauseatingly dull. I suppose there's not much to do in that part of the world.

Saudi isn't all that great either.

:sonpoint:
 
Gotta love how woke everyone gets when it comes to talking about Saudis buying us but when it comes to grooming gangs and what not they're always very quiet.
