Why? Are they worse than the Brady bunch?
If it’s the same lot as have been looking at Newcastle (i.e. the Saudi government/royal family), just have a quick google on their human rights record - it’s not very good.

Now I’m no liberal, hand-wringing snowflake but I would have a definite issue with being taken over by the Saudis. I’d rather keep GSB, for all their (many) faults and unkept promises.

IIRC, they are the lot who are supposed to have had the journalist killed inside the consulate in Istanbul. All very murky at a level way way above GSB.

Me too, Saudis are a rotten dictatorship and their human rights record is deplorable. Murdering that journo in the embassy and a backwards justice system - no one would give two hoots about them if they didn't have oil.

Just been speaking with my Brentford supporting brother in law who was waxing lyrical about our new signing, saying he is/was one of the proper young standouts in the Championship. He knows his stuff, so fingers crossed!

As long as he can score 4 goals each game to offset the 3 our back five ship most games then we should be fine.
