A mate who works in finance is trying to convince me that the Saudi Royal family only bid for Newcastle to test the water with the UK Government and the Premier League and that they are only interested in Manchester United.

I at first said bull##it but after he went into everything including the excuse the Premier League gave and Ashleys threat it got me thinking.

Am i right in thinking they bid for Man Utd in the past and that the Glazer family said 2 billion and its yours.

If they offered 2 billion then fair enough. Would not want them close to United. rubbish family with a bad regime.

Think it will cost more than £2 billion to buy United, remember MBS was rumoured to have had an offer of £3.5 billion turned down a few years ago.
We have long standing commercial deals through Saudi Telecom and signed a partnership with GSA back in 2017 to develop football in Saudi and I think that is as far as MBS wanted to go.

Either way I'm delighted the Premier League told the murderous barstewards to do one.
