Isn’t Al Hilal owned by same folks who owns majority of Newcastle? Is this a PSR loophole?

I think PSR is more hole than loop. But Isak has to agree to it. He isn’t a piece of livestock that they can order around.

I read that they want to buy him and then loan him back. That way they could pay him more, etc.
Maybe this is just nonsense.

There is absolutely no way that would be allowed.

Yeah, football authorities would definitely hold Saudis strictly to the rules

The football authorities will be invited to the embassy for a nice cup of tea and then the discussions can begin.

Hopefully the regulations are tight enough to stop funny business with moving players around. I could see a move to Al Hilal so he can get paid a ridiculous amount, and then they could loan him back to Newcastle so he can play in the Prem and the CL. Isak gets his dough, and Newcastle have the player at their disposal while they get a large boost to their PSR.
Surely there are watertight rules against that sort of thing, if indeed it happens?

It’s when the rule is something that’s accepted not written down where the issue seems to be.

It’s called rule 121a, section B.
"No teams, with common ownership, may use the relationship to sell, and then loan back, players between the two entities. Unless copious funds are deposited into the PL accounts. Copious funds bypass all PL rules heretofore applied to non Middle Eastern owned clubs, no matter the ammount of Middle Eastern affiliation (see Chelsea).

I’m not holding my breath…
I think city have already done this for a MLS player (Lampard?), however not sure if that was one of the 100 clubs they own.
It was…NYCFC
But realistically, Isak isn’t gonna move house if NUFC loans him back from Al Hilal?
Who are these WestHam_Central and ExWHUEmployee?
Reliable or not?

Have a few West Ham in the family, apparently ex still has some contact with people in the club so they treat him with a fair degree of reliability. He called them signing Malick Diouf for example.
They also claim that on their forum (kumb) is a geezer who says he’s related to Morton. Dunno what they’ve got as proof that he is, mind 
I’m so, so sorry.
