Success is earned, not bought. I’d rather win nothing trying the right way than win everything tainted with filthy oil money, attracting plastic fans in the process.
 
Brothers if those Saudi sheikh's buy Newcastle then it gets even harder . Their money will eventually guarantee top 4 , so for little old us there ain't any water left in the creek.
They won't except anything else and as City/Chavs they will pump themselves full of steroid sponsorship deals. FFP is no obstacle.
Then you have scousers with Pro active owners , manure will get it eventually right .
On the football side it will really hurt .
But we will still be double winners, with our bank balance cup & moral champions league trophy.
 
Think even most oily merchants would baulk at the £1.5 billion it would cost to buy thfc.. and i think im lowballing us too !

Divesting into non-oil assets is important to them, but more important is 'sportswashing' by which association to a well known club improves the brand / reputation of the owners.

As for £1.5bn being a lot... the current Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund assets currently stand at well over $500bn.
 
IIRC correctly quite a few on here would have huge problems being owned by a country with really shit human rights records.

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?

The British aren't great either so let's count them out as well.

Should be banned from the site
Yep.

Unfortunately you've got his little gaggle of like-minded followers who give his every post a pos-rep. Every bit as racist as him.

They'll scream bloody murder if someone says gammon, but call someone a ''black cunt'' and they'll funny the life out of it.

Racism is widely accepted, nay encouraged, on this forum. Yet, you'll see Sammy get binned over and over for strictly talking football.
 
Couldn't really give a shit at this point , somebody is gonna buy the club at some point and we are already owned by some shady tax exile, as long as whoever buys it is here to win I couldn't care less.
