He might actually be right on a "Technicality". Some of the newest lists have decided to leave the Saudis off the due to all of the recent controversy which have encapsulated them. Aside from that though, alot of these elite Arab royal families don't have wealth which can be quantified/recorded, into 100's of billions/trillions.

I'll take stability, thank you. I think he is of the coptic minority in Egypt, and they are usually christian. One can of course be arab and christian as well, and as for nationality Egyptian too. Being coptic I doubt he would define himself as an arab though, but what do I know. Whatever he is or calls himself, I love him. He seems down to earth and humble, seem to have managed his familys wealth in a good way and been successful himself. From the outside he has seemed to have done everything right so far, more than I could ever have hoped of from a new owner. I would do anything I could (which isn't much though) to prevent him being replaced by a generic middle eastern consortium, especially if it has state connections. PSG owners p*** o** with your dirty corrupt blood money and stay away. Edited April 15, 2019 by Keener window-cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 If they sold to these guys and we got promoted. It would be a complete game changer. We won’t be shitting ourselves about losing Jack Grealish. We’ll be signing even better than Jack Grealish! But it’s all b*llocks anyway and this thread and story will soon be forgotten.

MrSmirch Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 No way NSWE sell after a year, they’re already seriously minted. Unlike Mike Ashley and that ilk I think they’re in this for some glory and to enjoy their mid life to the max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much cheaper to buy a championship club and take them up. They might be loaded but they’re still businessmen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_Hope Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 When the takeover first broke, it was stated that Sawiris was the World's richest Arab. This does not concern us IMO. We are just mentioned to beef up the bullshittery of this story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
