Who runs PIF? Mohammed bin Bruce?


Hilariously PIF stands for Public Investment Fund which the FA is satisfied is not run by the state, according to their statement this afternoon.

In an authoritarian, autocratic state who is the 'Public' in PIF if it isn't the state?

The FA, Ashley and the business side of NUFC just don't give a sh*t where the money comes from as long as it comes.


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

More state-sponsored sportswashing. Gotta love the FA, got the game's best interests at heart.

To be honest, whilst I’m not a fan of the Saudi government or sportswashing, the other side of this is that the PIF are alleged to be investing a lot into the infrastructure and local economy of the North East, a region which is one of the poorest in Western Europe. This doesn’t make the Saudis okay, or me excited to be welcoming more sportswashing, it mostly makes me sad that some communities in Britain are so ignored that it takes literal oil dictatorships for them to get a hint of investment. I wouldn’t want such owners anywhere near Grimsby, and yet if we were promised investment that we’ve not seen from our own government in generations, it’d almost seem worth it.

Well if it stops their support whinging about how bad things are then it works for me.

It won’t.

Whilst I’d like to think some geordies will be embarrassed by this, plenty will be buzzing their flabby man mammaries off…until they still don’t compete and they’ll soon be wanting King Kev back to win them absolutely nothing…

No interest whatsoever in this or any other premier league club billionaire plaything, I prefer my local team whatever league we play in.

Could not give a toss, they is only one team that plays in black & white worth supporting and that team is Grimsby Town.
