Newcastle United: Bandro Tonali

My boy Rafa winning the league with Newcastle before Pool do it

Doesn’t really mean much. They might get better or they might be ****. Throwing money at it didn’t do Fulham much good.

With Rafa as manager its a different thing. But he wasn't some transfer guru.

Oil money is no longer unlimited. We might see a bit of pragmatism.

As @American_Gooner says, better Newcastle than Tottensham, and Better Abu Dhabi than Qatar.

Oil money is no longer unlimited.

Unlimited money isn't required. They just need an initial push to take them up a level and they'll be competing with us. Look at City's spending for the past couple of years, its been very reasonable for a big club. Thats my frustration with Kroenke, we don't need too much money, just a small injection of funds every second year and we'll be competing at the highest level.

It's Mourinho in disguise, he will buy Newcastle for the money he got from MU.

 

[NZgunner]

who knows how this will go but ever since Chelsea, then reinforced by City, I've said to my dad that there are other clubs that are far more attractive investment/ownership options than Arsenal. In fact I've used Newcastle as an example of another club that a vanity owner might like the look of - a bit of history, a passionate local fan base, but more importantly - cheap

the irony is that the prudent financial management of Arsenal through the Wenger years has made them a very expensive option - to buy Arsenal you would have to stump up at least 1.7 billion pounds, this Newcastle deal looks to be 350 million

Not sure how reliable but there's already a few reports saying that this could be scuppered by them not having proof of funds.

Ashley supposedly wants whatever he sells for in one lump. I get these dudes are crazy rich but if it's all wealth based in companies then it's beyond by knowledge if they just have £350 mil lying around.

Ashley's worth 3 billion + alone but it's all in Sports Direct, House of Fraser, Debenhams stock etc. He's worth more than Liverpool's owners.

Granted this guy's family who is buying Newcastle is said be worth around £150 billion.

The first thing Newcastle need after their new Sugar Daddy takes over is an established big name signing to set a marker.

Perhaps an established German international superstar with Premiership experience and a colossal global fanbase? But where could they find such a player??

No chance they get Mustafi off us

Sky said they had the same issue when they tried to buy Liverpool.

Not trying to trivialise £350 mil but stumping up proof of near £2 billion for Liverpool is one thing. Probably presumptuous but I'd have thought with their background that they'd be able to push through this takeover pretty smoothly.

This takeover and the attempted Liverpool one is just weird. How can you be in talks to buy a football club and not have proof of funds?

I know its a completely different level but if I can provide proof of funds for a house purchase surely these rich businessmen with legal teams in place can provide theres , they must have known this would be coming and surely its not that hard for them to do.

Just seems a bit strange how this is even a stumbling block :confused:, getting a bit of 'fake sheikh' red top vibes from them.. or they just don't want people to see where the money is actually coming from. If this was Arsenal I would be pretty worried as to who they really are, as its Newcastle this could be pretty funny if they turn out to be worse than Ashley and have no money as well :rofl:

 

[carter777]

Some reports and the Financial Times now saying that they've submitted proof of funds . Seriously nothing's ever straightforward about that club

If he is rejecting PSG then he sure as **** isn't going to go to Tyneside now, is he?

they probably don't know themselves. especially for inherited wealth, you never know exactly.

they might still be auditing their revenue streams themselves, and this suddenly came up.

Their side saying everything but the fit and proper test is done, Newcastle's side still saying that no bid has been made.

****. We don't need that.
