This extremely wealthy public investment fund with a very poor human rights record doesn't have a Premier League club...

My point was that the sponsor was not added to the name. The sponsor was in the original name.

@Turkishstruggling to understand context (yet again) shocker! 🙄

Not according to the BBC, it is according to Wayne Veysey of Football Insider.

Not the same thing, as that was the original name of the stadium rather than a proposed name change.

What about living in or near Newcastle would tip the balance to forfeiting a multi million pound contract?

1) How have you worked that out? 2) How did he do keeping Fulham up in his last spell in England...?

Overly optimistic view... Perhaps the Newcastle takeover will reveal to Saints groups looking for a club who were hoping the Saudis wouldn't get Newcastle and look to Saints now as a second choice.

For a start... Watford aren't better than us.

Thierry Henry was a better player than Arsene Wenger... that doesn't mean he couldn't help him improve.

It doesn't help them between now and January. Plus I doubt they'll be buying a new team in January.

Do you have any evidence to support that claim? Even if true that does not mean that we are owned by the Chinese state.

How would it overcome changes which boot out of the English system clubs that join?

Not literally at all! 😉 Old Trafford is in the Greater Manchester metropolitan borough of Trafford Etihad stadium is in the city of Manchester

Gao is not the Chinese state

He signed a new 3 year contract in July 2021. They aren't going to include 'commitment to buy' in a loan deal a month later to a team with very little money.

What was he hypocritical about?

I agree, the resemblance is uncanny! Fratton... A Brazilian favela...

You are confusing terms. We are currently in an ice age and have been for the last 2.6 million years. It is currently an interglacial period of an ice age, rather than a glacial period of an ice age.

It'll be a very different world and UK after sea level rises...

UK government buildings tend to have carpet rather than a soil floor

1) Why would you never have one again? 2) So in 2040 you'd rather have a 10+ year old petrol/diesel car than an electric car? 3) I have never have had an electric car. But when the national infrastructure improves and prices come down I will.
