Yes but Coventry City isn’t her only project. Barnsley owner is top of the list but the group owns another 6 clubs I think

Speaking of which has there been any indication from Newcastles new owners are going to go on a Man City / Chelsea style spending spree? Just because they've got it doesn't necessarily mean they'll be chucking it at Newcastle.

This supposed increase in club value is a nonsense, complete bollocks but it makes a good headline.

These clubs have no right to the owners wealth but the owner has the right to the clubs wealth ...... not the same thing at all. The club is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. In this case £305m. The owners may decide to put funds in but the club cannot assume it is their right.

Complete rubbish to appropriate the billions to each club

Well they want to buy Inter too so would be pretty amusing if after all this they just used Newcastle as a feeder club.

There is already talk of them buying Kane and Mbappe in January (I suppose all the big names will now be linked)

If they want to keep from overstepping the FFP rules, then it’s a very gradual process. Something their “fans” seem to be forgetting.

Not sure they have to because under Ashley they made a profit and have been sold with a positive bank balance. Under FFP they can lose something ridiculous like £135m over 3 seasons so they can probably splash out a considerable amount in January and before next season. It won't be easy to attract top players without qualifying for European competition and it won't be easy to attract a top manager with the squad they have. Will probably have to be a gradual process upgrading players and managers as necessary.

Premier League: Saudi Arabia-backed Newcastle takeover complained about by other clubs - Clubs complain about Newcastle takeover

Exactly this - what the 'big' clubs are afraid of is that somebody else is going to get their nose in the Champions League trough, and that one of them will miss out as a result. It's naff all about football, fair competition, and they are taking a stance akin to that of themselves not wanting to redirect any of the PL income to support the clubs in the leagues below. Money, and self interest. Nothing else. I'm glad it's happened if it upsets the 'cartel'

Forgetting the other clubs for a minute, we’ve now got a quasi state owned club in the league, and not a particularly benevolent one. Is that no cause for concern in its own right?

So Norwich will want a competitive championship next year so will be waiving their parachute payments, if they are that bothered they should try for new owners themselves.

But there’s no point comparing it to real world private enterprise. If it was just real world business we’d have franchise teams moving all over the place like the US of A

Football is supposed to be different. Not sure for how much longer
