Rumour that Saudis might sell NUFC to buy Man U

[Angus]

Who to?

There comes a time when the party is too crowded.

Someone buying Newcastle so that others could buy Manchester United/Liverpool means that Newcastle will be seen as at best 5th choice.

In addition the PL will become even more boring than it is now.

It’s in the mirror

Saudi owners could 'dispose' of Newcastle to finally complete Man Utd takeover

Newcastle United's owners have been at the helm for a little over a year, but the Glazer family's announcement about the sale of Manchester United has prompted questions

Yeah, it's in the Mirror, but the man saying it is just some random financial expert making a prediction.

I quite enjoy seeing man Utd were they are, long may it continue

It was speculated last week that the Saudis were 'encouraging' private saudi investment to buy MU, but I could see the case for them viewing MU as more of a flagship investment for the state fund and offloading Newcastle to the private investors. Geordies would still be owned by SA money, just not directly by the state fund. Be funny if they kept them and turned them into a man utd reserve team lol.

Why sell when they could liquidate?

All my Christmasses at once! I'd never ask for anything for Christmas or birthday ever again because the greatest thing had already been delivered. I think I would mess myself laughing.

It's all pure newspaper speculation but this is a rumour I'm happy to spread

True but let’s be honest that’s how the Saudis operate it’s all go betweens and feelers put out their nothing I’d ever direct.

Rumours of Inter Milan, now Man United and Liverpool. These Saudi's are becoming the Chris Wilders of the football club ownership world.

This would be a blow for me. As a longstanding hater of Newcastle United this past year has been somewhat of golden era as I've been able to pretend I don't like them on ethical grounds rather than just the usual football related petty grudges and bitterness.

You DON’T have to ask them.

Oh could you imagine if this was true

that would be brilliantly funny.....all the geordies would suddenly grow a conscience too and accuse Man United of blood money

The speculation went on to suggest they would also encourage private Saudi Investors to buy Liverpool.
It would be great with City, Liverpool and Man U all in the the hands of Gulf states.…..
Then all burger off to the European Super League with the Mags

I can’t see Manu or the Scousers selling to (any) Saudis— nice rumour but that’s about it
