Oman – The British Armys Finest Hour – Now the Toon Army Saviour?
Posted on June 2nd, 2009 | 14 Comments |
The Battle of Mirbat took place on 19 July 1972 in Oman – here Britains finest including the SAS fought off over 300 adoo defending their realm. A victory as famous as any in the legend of the SAS today – if any of you like reading the spin off book by Ranulph Fiennes is a fascinating twist of an extension of a war fought many years ago.
Could it possibly be that Sultan Oabood bin Said is about to come back to Britains rescue and save Newcastle.
In a bid to compete against Dubai and Abu Dhabi the Sultan is rumoured to be looking to aquire a team from the English Premier League – Newcastle being heavily linked.
Ashleys price of 100million does not seem a problem and seeing Mike is willing to write off 150million to the club – its an outstanding investment opportunity for someone with the budget to get us straight back into the premier league.
The Sultan is worth 1.1billion however he will form part of a consortium who may bring real assets of several Billion to the table and access to finance to buy additional players.
Its nervous times for us all – I for one do not want a heavily debt laden club, we await with interest the developments.
Nothing in the Oman press, the rumour mill again !
