How could there be two Saudi-owned clubs playing in the same league? Unless the intention is to relegate us and keep us there.

For the purposes of justifying it Newcastle got the corrupt murderers and we got an innocent offshoot of the Saudi state that just want to run a wholesome family club.
Enjoy the holiday mate ?
Can’t wait till Esk finds out this Saudi takeover rumour was started by Chico to wind the Geordies up.
There’s a difference between the state owning two clubs and the state and a national of that state owning a club. Anyway, it’s all guff anyway.
Blues, can we knock "the Esk" stuff on the head?
The Twitter account doesn't warrant the coverage it gets on here.
Each to their own... is it just me who finds it tedious reading what one bloke on his Twitter account claims?
If you think he's a balloon, go and tell him on Twitter - he doesn't post on here.

Agreed mate.
If we became a serious challenger to Newcastle, they would most definitely be arsed.
So arsed, if we were top in December and Newcastle 2nd our owner would probably loan our best players to Newcastle as a wedding gift. (Thursday wife, maybe.)
Having lived in the region for 25 years and have seen royalty from all over the GCC up close. You have never seen forelock tugging like it.
If it's not PIF it's a waste of time.
For the reasons mentioned above, it would be utterly pointless. We'd reach Moyes levels and that's it.
Good Times.
Honestly, if it's Gulf money the dream is Qatar.
A rather serious standoff was only eased just over a year ago. Travel between the UAE, Saudi and Qatar was banned. Qataris living in the UAE and KSA were given 48 hrs to pack up and leave. Even if they owned businesses, shut the business and get out.
The tension has eased and travel is free once again, as is the right to live and work, but the resentment still simmers under the surface. (The restrictions were only eased because of the World Cup, Qatar is nowhere near big enough to host everyone, shuttle flights from 40 mins away are essential)
Forget PSG, (who they wouldn't have to ditch btw) if they had an opportunity to go toe to toe with the UAE and KSA in the same league, it's on like Donkey Kong.
Yes yes, FFP, Profit and Sustainability etc. They can also afford lawyers as good as Man City and provide us with fair value sponsorship deals.

Agree mate, and those jumping to defend him are worse imo. Deeply odd.
