You don't think someone on 350k a week and is not working right now, with no money coming into the business, should take a 12% pay cut to help keep lower-paid staff on the rolls?

I'm pretty sure he did but i was too lazy to check
The Saudis will defo spend. Great way for them to build good PR after Khashoggi's murder. Newcastle is the ideal club to do it as well. St James' Park is probably the most impressive ground I've been to in England outside of Old Trafford. Right in the middle of the city centre. Very attractive proposition for investors and will be for players once they get to splashing that cash

I am getting fed up with all these FaceTime interviews/shows... Though the one on Sky Sports with Kelly Cates and a mix of Neville, Carra, Redknapp, Sourness and guests is pretty dope...
if this Saudi thing is really happening and comes to fruition....
1. they'll get a top out of work manager first to be the architect of the project and show real intent in attracting top talent (my guess: allegri or pochettino...the latter being most likely)
2. a lot of mercenaries/"troublesome"/B+ players will be their first waves of talent - all big salaries and with even bigger egos
3. They'll also get a big time name that either requires reputation redemption (i.e. Bale, Coutinho) and/or a big time player that's up there in age but wants that one last hurrah of playing EPL (e.g. Lewandowski)
Overall they'll take at least 3 years before they will even come close to cracking top 6 IMO. They can spend but they aren't gonna do it and become a powerhouse as quickly as Chelsea, City did it in the past
The dynamics and game has changed too much for that....but yeah there won't be a top 6, just the "haves" and "have-nots"....those fighting for a European spot (Champions League or Europa) and those fighting off relegation (clubs 11-20th position)
'It's indefensible... he should set the example': Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher rip into Mesut Ozil as he resists Arsenal wage cut - and say the £350,000-per-week star now faces being 'alienated'
'His [Ozil’s] agent did him no favour when he came out three or four weeks ago when he said let’s wait and see. I always felt this would be a problem, Carragher told Sky Sports News during The Football Show.
'There’s two strands of players who might not fully engage, and that’s a young lad who maybe didn’t have the revenue, or a player coming to the end of his contract.
'But the fact the highest-paid player hasn’t done it… the rest of the squad has agreed it, you’ve got to go with the rest of the players. As you say, it’s a massive PR own goal.
'I’m not going to have a go at him for the wages he’s earned, blame the people who are paying him, but the highest-paid member of the squad should be one who sets the example.'
as @Blue_London stated, it's not for the players to help etc, however from a moral and integrity standpoint, he should have played this better especially with most of him teammates who earn less than him agreeing to it.
For example, be seen doing some PR photo op of him dropping shopping to the elderly, committing £1m to the NHS or Germany/Turkish charities etc....basically get ahead of this story coming out as little to no one is going to be sympathetic to him

Newcastle can't do it how man City did back in 2008 due to FFP.
Newcastle are going to have to have Man UTD level of sponsorship or have some bogus in house Saudi licensing deals like what man city does, in order for the revenue to match spending.

LMAO, Ozil does not want your fucking respect. Only person's respect he seeks is Erdogan (which is sad, but we can talk about that another day)

No. Kroenke and the board could have done good things with the money when Arsenal were in happier times, now things have gone sour the players suddenly need to take a cut? Nah, you gave these players their contracts, pay what you owe.

Is this what you were talking about? lmao how was I going to know????
Again I don't care what footballers do with their money they shouldn't be bailing out the government. As long arsenal Staff gets paid without TAX Payers money i don't care.
Tottenham was Using TAX Payers money without Players taking a cut as the first option.
This is legit us vs Football clubs
