Any chance of our Egyptian connection getting Mo Salah stretching the shirt any time soon?

Exactly, why mess around, start as you mean to carry on.

Been 5 hours and no new signing. Sack the board. Get someone else in.

The most encouraging thing about all this is that the new people in charge are known quantities, in that we know who they are and where their wealth comes from.

No more tenebrous hairdresser wannabes. These guys would appear to be the real deal, and it's hard to argue with their CVs.

Hopefully they'll eschew short cuts, and start laying the groundwork for a joined-up, long-term project. Even if that means accepting a couple more seasons in the Championship.

Very excited by this and surely two billionaires are better than one!


Here's the thing, if Tony is sticking around (and, who knows, maybe he is) he is another potential source of finance in the medium to long term.

Some interesting stuff about our new major share holders on the club site. It appears that Nassef Sawiris has some serious connections in the sports world.

Just for a little bit of context there's an Egyptian who posts on another football forum I'm on.

This is his succinct view of Sawiris.

Quote
Sawiris family is hated here, especially his brother, Nagiub Sawiris.

But that's not due to hating issues. Egyptian businessmen aren't going to get a club and spend on it for the sake of it like Qatar or UA. These clubs are just another business and source of money for them. I'll be surprised if he ends up actually willing to make the club good enough.

He also mentioned Al Fayed and that mad owner at Hull as examples.

Well that makes sense, but we need to be a good football team to make money.

Plus nobody is expecting him to spend "for the sake of it"

Serious question: how will we stop irresponsible people at the club going on another player-buying spree to load us up with more ageing players on long-term contracts?

Now that we have arrested the financial problems, I sincerely hope that there will be an injection of intelligence, common sense and some coaching & tactics!

They could get rid of 'em all & bring in some responsible replacements. ;)
That was really the point.

D'oh!

I clearly should've stuck to crap Egyptian puns. :-[
