Another huge moment in English football as one of the worlds richest groups takes over an English football club.
This will be bigger than City’s takeover. Why?
- Newcastle are already a massive club with a big following and 50,000 seater stadium.
- They are the only big club in the city so loyalties and identity are less divided.
- They are profitable so the constraints of FFP won’t bite for a few years.
What does this mean for Arsenal?
- Inflated prices in the transfer market as the Saudi’s pour hundreds of millions in to the transfer market.
- Target our young players to build their squad. We are the most vulnerable of the big clubs. We are trying to develop a talented young squad. Players like Saka, ESR, Tierney, Odegard will be targets for sure. Bigger salaries, working with top managers and talent and a better chance of winning the league and being in Europe.
- And of course another rich team pushing up the table means we move down.
Should we consider the Qatari option? What else can we do?
