End of Moshiri - Friedkin, APPROVAL AGREED

[Toddacelli]

This is gonna go nuclear levels of bad isn't it?

Trying not to agree with you and AudreyHorne but this is giving me the horrors.

[AjaxAndy]

Seems like every club that gets a rich benefactor gets a shitty dodgy bastard first.

I'm just hoping if this goes through they're our frog that leads to a prince without too much damage being done first.

[Shogun]

I mean, after the Moshiri years then you basically just want somebody fairly pragmatic who knows what they're doing and isn't going to send us into financial ruin. You can't say these guys convince on that front.

[The Doc]

Can't see this ending well like.

We can't catch a break. The most tainted fans in Europe.

[Bluebridge]

At least there’ll be no false hope with these guys.

Don't we have that now?

My impression is it's a succession of dodgy bastards, each more dodgy than the last. Sunderland, Leeds, Blackburn, Bolton Portsmouth......

How do you think all of these mega-rich benefactors get their billions? Hate to break it to you, but squeaky clean mega-rich benefactors simply do not exist. Every single one of them is a shady fucker. It's all of the super-shady dealings that makes them so rich in the first place.

Mega-rich benefactors who chuck billions at football clubs are simply using the business as a vehicle to launder their dirty cash.

You've got Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at Wrexham. Yes, they've earned big money from acting, which is fine whilst you're plodding away in the lower leagues. However, to compete at the very top of the Premier League, you have to be the sort of rich that you only become by being one fucking dodgy bastard.

[Escalator]

Think Jim Ratcliffe is a decent bloke, can’t see anything dodgy about him ?

Yeah I've said the same before on here so completely agree, but the point is more Newcastle had Ashley and that was destructive to the club, they then got the Saudis who are obviously horrific but they will grow the club.

Pretty sure Man City were similar before they got their current owners. Villa likewise.

So really it's not that the prince is a wonderful human who made billions supporting human rights and deprived children... They'll be awful people, but they're not the plunder and strip the club of all it's assets types, they want to grow the club even if their intentions aren't honourable.

But why would you think that's anything but a coincidence?

I think it's probably survivor bias. You can recall the club's who eventually got 'good owners' rather than the succession of club's who cycled through shite owners and either treaded water, or even died.

We've had Johnson kenwright and moshiri. It's been all frogs

[Sirblue57]

Think frogs would gave done a better job tbh.

Hop it!

New stadium, hopefully a team in profit or breaking even... Those two things will see us be much more appealing to a buyer whose looking to sports wash a nations wealth (not that such an owner would sit well with me).

Newcastle were bought because the team was in profit allowing for spending without breaching FFP.

777 will be here to make a profit when they sell in a few years, we just need to ride that out and hope the club isn't destroyed by the time the next owner comes in, and that the new owners are using us for a different reason that is mutually beneficial.
