[Football] Saudi take-over of Inter Milan

[Frankworthington]

Apologies if fixtures but it seems the PIF of Saudi Arabia is poised to buy a majority stake in Inter Milan

What will this mean to the Toon? Since moving up here i have realised what an entitled fan base they have,even worse than Dirty Leeds

Maybe in view of impending relegation the Saudis are having second thoughts!

 

[Da Man Clay]

Very little I imagine. The amount of money they have is ridiculous. Could probably have one in each major league and it wouldn’t really affect their wealth.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

They'll be able to have an Arab League soon

 

[Eeyore]

They'll be able to have an Arab League soon

More like a League of Nations.

Or an underwater league. 20,000 of them.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Would have thought they would go for Juventus so they have a matching pair.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Any thoughts on what they might call it?

I'd piss myself if they then realise their original mistake, go back and buy Notts County, and sell St James' and the toon players for scrap and glue

If you want to bring them into the post-flat-cap era with a nod to the Inter Cities Fairs Cup (final, not televised, in 1969) then whatabout their tremendous Inter Toto* cup victory in 2006?

I prefer to think of their last proper trophy as the FA cup in 55. Before even I was born

*aka the Hold The Line (and don't) Turn Back cup.

Al i ever used to hear from my old man was "we won the cup 3 times in the 50`s you know.Jackie Milburn blah blah"

Hilarious!

Are the Inter fans dancing around in full Saudi get up lauding their new found wealth?

I would imagine they'll use them as a feeder club for Milan!!

Really ?
2017 not ring a bell ?
7 point gap, 3 games to go.

Potentially very bad news for Newcastle actually.

Can’t have both in the Champions League. Would be quite funny if Newcastle simply became a feeder club for Inter.

Oh my,you are clever

Maybe i should have said MAJOR trophy?Even the Toon fans themselves acknowledge that they have not won anything since 1969!

Have a nice day

Underwater would be a very good place for them.

As it will be a competition to China for ex top level players for big bucks, they should rename it:
Western Arab Nations Kingships Elite Retirement Series

The acronym speaks for itself.
