Aston Villa 3rd richest in the league as well with £8bn. Going to be a few rich clubs in the prem now, and Spurs. https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/sport/uk-sport-news/efl-rich-list-how-owners-2764353
If it's true they might give City a challenge which is something the league has been crying out for a good few seasons.
Probably take 3/4 seasons and a turnstile of managers to get there. Top 4 will probably be first target.
Latest on this is that they haven't provided proof of funds! They failed to provide proof of funds when trying to buy liverpool, so looks like it's not happening.
Stupid really, just need to pop down the cashpoint, pull out a mini-statement. End balance £157,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Job's a good'un
The sheikh has confirmed he intends to invest heavily in the club and the city . So if the proof of funds is actually done Newcastle will be the 3rd richest club in the world. Now I know its bullshit we've got players like Mo diame for christ sake and the5 expect me to believe were going shopping with the big boys. Nah
Its canny funny though we've gone from thinking about actually buying one or two good players to hoping we can keep the likes of diame very quickly.
