Pretty sure you're referencing their UK/European operation. The USA arm has been around before?

Everybody seems to talk as if this new stadium is the key to everything. Newcastle have got a 52,000 capacity, I haven't seen them do a goddamn thing, besides if we move away from our current model and start paying massive transfer fees for every player, than that is an admission that our current model doesn't work.
Our current model doesn't work.Count the trophys.

I think that once the new stadium is built, then ENIC will indeed sell. It makes no sense to sell before being in a state to maximize it's ROI. Joe may be old but he sure ain't stupid.

I'd much rather an American investment than an Arabs play thing.

There is no use fighting this. We will just plod along unless we don't roll with the big boys. If you don't like it you're best supporting a lower league club where it doesn't matter.

Really can't see any Arab being interested, knowing our Jewish connections!

Rather have a sugar daddy who would throw money at us.

Private Investors just wanna take money out, not put it in.

The Prince of Saudi would love to wave the star of David and sing yid army. I hear he even has diamond encrusted spurs slippers.

ENIC have not invested their own money into the club and if these people offer anything near what Joe Lewis wants he will sell.

To be honest I do not care if ENIC stay or go they run the clubs back room staff like a small time bussiness and just hire Levy's friends and family. The fact is we are being out net spent every year by 80% of the league and they have missed key opportunities to spend to reinforce the team to make us compete for top 4.
100%
Last five years our net transfer spend is less than EVERYONE currently in the league!
But we are saving fir a 400 million pound stadium aren't we?

And it's going to be a good thing if we have even higher ticket prices?

We have higher prices than Newcastle. Laws of supply and demand. It's why we punch above our financial weight. Do you want us being excited about signing Ruel Fox or Christian Eriksen?

We didn't punch above our financial weight last season Everton punched above theirs though.

Ruel Fox wasn't very effective, Eriksen isn't effective either, last season he was the best of a bad bunch. I want us to be excited about signing winners, Foxy wasn't a winner, Eriksen by what evidence I've seen so far is not a winner.

Wow... So what player should we be signing?
