I don’t get how the Saudis can own them and Newcastle though.

Lucky you. Watched the film, thinking it's got Judy Dench in it, she never does rubbish.
How wrong I was.

Daniel Levy teases exciting things to come at Spurs that aren't in public domain
Daniel Levy has been discussing life as Tottenham chairman and building Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a Premier League feature entitled: 'Daniel Levy: Building a Home'

Doesn’t sound like he’s thinking of leaving any time soon….
Because it will be different people behind both, and they will somehow prove that no single person would have ultimate control over both

Regardless, it is getting to the stage where state ownership of football clubs shouldn't be allowed.

It should never have been allowed in the first place but you can blame the footballing authorities and poor governance for that.

Agree, if they are happy to buy them for 6 bil then I fully expect them to sign Mbappe come summer.

I have no clue as to the finer points but I feel this would likely be the case. At least that’s what all the info thus far seems to
suggest.

Also they are a genuine big club not a fake one like City or Chelsea. Their name carries real weight like Real, Barca or Liverpool. United with a good manager and a load of dosh can sign basically anyone. Ten Hag and a ton of cash is a huge problem for the rest of the PL.

I really don't see Utd being any different to City or Chelsea, maybe Newcastle in time. The size and stature of club is pretty irrelevant nowadays. Chelsea are still signing 100m players and sitting mid table. City soon started to attract the best players after the takeover. Chelsea did when Roman arrived. It's just going to be the same situation with Utd. Players aren't going to care which of those clubs they join as long as they get big wages they know they're going to compete. Utd haven't won as much in recent years as City or Chelsea anyway. Players aren't going to favour them because historically they have more titles or because they have a large fan base.

Not so sure about that, not all players are money motivated. There are players who would go to Real Madrid for half the wage of another club just to say they played for Madrid. Having a huge fanbase and history adds glamour to a career.
I know if I was a player Real, Barca, United or Liverpool would bring me far more pride in retirement than minnow Man fucking City. United have been poorly run for ages but they only need to be half decent again for the elite players to want to go there.

Trouble is City and Chelsea are massive now. They've been on top some time winning titles. I also think as long as Pep is at City players are more likely to join him at City than Haag at Utd.

City ain’t massive, they have a great team and vast cash from their owners but their fanbase isn’t even our size despite the forced attempts. Other than Pep there is nothing glamours about City and it doesn’t look like he will be there much longer. I can understand going City when United is in the dumps but with Ten Hag and big money coming I would be heading only one direction.

Whatever. Though it pains me to say it, they're here to stay, like or not.
Their fan base is in the range of double ours now based on all social media stats. We are a long way behind the other 5.

I think that in the next decade that's pretty much all were going to have and I don't see how it's stopped.
They have so much money that they can own things and it will appear to be a third party but if course they will authorise the purchase and likely control it from afar.
The only thing I can think to combat it is to make sure FFP is so strict that the clubs have to be run as businesses but considering how high the PSG owner is in UEFA I don't believe there is a real appetite to stop it.

who said it’s dead. The entity taking to United/Liverpool is different from the one talking to us and the on talking to us apparently wants a minority stake as they own PSG. Ben Jacobs has been clear about this.
