I think if this deal was going through whilst we were under normal circumstances then the deal will have been done and announced already.
We'll get there with this one.

Do you really think the Prem is gonna turn down that kind of money being involved in their brand?

The Government aren't going to intervene - they love the Saudi's money and investment in UK Business, the City of London & obviously weapons.

Newcastle as a city, Tyneside as a region and our famous club have been neglected and abused since the early 2000s.

The Saudi's are in the process of diversifying away from Oil and Gas.

For 5 yrs I've been promoting investments in Tyneside to all my Qatari friends. Not professionally of course, but just in terms of growth potential.

I imagine the Saudi's via the Rubens & Staverley's company will be investing in the wider area as Mansour has done in Manchester.

Dunno if anyone of you lads or lasses has ever lived in Manchester. I was there for 10 yrs.

East Manchester used to be a Junkie paradise; a total sh!te hole. Since the UAE money has poured into the city the whole place has been given a face lift and investment in local businesses has really improved to see Manchester thrive.

Who wouldn't want to see investment in our beautiful, iconic city?
