"seriously big club again"

Again, as in they were big before? Delusions of grandeur come to mind

Not won a domestic pot for 65 years.

Haven’t won the League for 93 years.

Massive club.

Alex sounds like your typical skyboy 1992er

Alex Hurst, chair of the Newcastle United Supporters Trust and editor of the fanzine Truth Faith:
"If – and it’s still an if – this takeover happens then it will bring back hope to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, in the north-east.
The involvement of Saudi Arabian wealth in the takeover is not a concern right now and ultimately any new owners will be judged like all owners are judged – by how they treat the fans and how they run the football club. Getting those two things right is the most important thing."

In other words, 'we don't care if dyspotic tyrants invest, as long as we win a few more games'.

No I actually want the club to do well, the whole Everton that meme got old really fast.

The point stands, Quatar and Saudi Arabia both have shady rulers or have had hands in shady dealings (World Cup anyone?)

Were Moshiri and Usmanov (who isn’t Russian btw) directly involved though?

 

[dow1978]

Were Moshiri and Usmanov (who isn’t Russian btw) directly involved though?

He was born in the old Soviet Union.

Were these other guys directly involved? (Genuine question I don't know if they were)
