With Sandy Toenail suspended for 10 months now, I see they are linked with loaning Ruben Neves from another PIF owned club in January. 
 

Although I should be disgusted at this, given he won’t be registered to play against us on New Year’s Day and will be available to take points off our rivals, I’m actually all for it. 

What Neves will get playing over there is worse than getting a bad injury. Elite football is 95% in the head, you can't turn the competitiveness on and off like a tap. He's done as a professional footballer.

Can't stand Eddie Howe.

 

That's all.

Cleared to loan players from Saudi. Be interesting to see if any curve balls happen other than Neves.

 

A fine decision by the clubs.

That's a wrong and totally unsporting decision. Football is a fucking sham. Saudi have no such restrictions on spends so can buy players on insane wages then just loan them to Newcastle to circumnavigate all rules. Fuck the Saudis, Abu Dhabi and all the oligarch pricks.

[aws]

Who were the other six clubs who thought these loans were ok, I wonder. City obviously but who else? 

[John102]

They voted against tighter controls on sponsorship deals too apparently, including having to show bids around same value.

[ZonkoVille77]

The most corrupt league in the world and there's not a soul to convince me otherwise.

Chelsea presumably?

 

Isn't it 14 clubs needed to vote things through so 7 would have had to vote against? 

 

One thing I don't understand about this idea that Saudi clubs will loan players to Newcastle is that they are supposedly trying to establish the Saudi league as one of the best in the world so how will loaning players to the Premier League do that? Makes it look more like a feeder league?

[Captain Turdseye]

The vote was 12-8

[Megadrive Man]

For a guess the 8 would be 

Man City, Burnley, Chelsea, Newcastle, Palace, Forest, plus another two? Everton maybe with their potential new owners?

[Mathewbet1]

So mbappe can be loaned to newcastle for 50 p a week in theroy , great stuff PL , you keep doing you! 

[John102]

Manchester City, Newcastle United, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, Sheffield United, Everton & Wolves.

When does their season end? They might be loaning players during their off season, like how MLS does.

Sheffield united wont even be in the fucking league next year but get a vote with long term consequences regardless, and fucking go the wrong way because of their grubby owners.

 

And project big picture was a terrible idea.

[Bobby Hundreds]

The list of anti sport cheats.

[Captain Turdseye]

Who are Everton planning to loan from other 777 owned clubs in January?

The whole system is fucked. You could pick the names without trying.

Which is actually part of the reason Everton are so fucked now. If they hadn't been able to wave through the mental deals with USM, they wouldn't have been able to stretch themselves to the point of bankruptcy and cheating now.

It now starts and finishes at the same time as the Premier League. I don't think this has always been the case though.

[an tha]

Another step closer to the abyss.

 

Fucking game.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

That's what happens when you try to bring in new rules once you've allowed the rule-breakers a vote.

 

The PL was venal, slow, and only saw its arse once the government started talking about regulators.

[Megadrive Man]

I didn't realise Sheffield United were Saudi owned!

[Megadrive Man]

The nerve of Everton voting against this and then crying about the Premier League being corrupt! 

 

Presumably this makes Everton part of the new scab seven now?

More likely they’ll be sending DCL, Onana and Pickford to Genoa….

They might not be in the league next season but they'll no doubt get great loan deals on some youth players from certain other clubs.
