I was at a Norwich match a couple of years ago and a lad went for Tete first goalscorer, I asked why and he said because he liked crisps.

Ich bin ein cunthead, more like.

That All With Smiling Faces podcast goes into some depth about the Qatar- Saudi relationship and why people from Qatar are worried about the Saudis dominating the sports over there. This Keys stuff is coming from above and hes the perfect cunt to do it.

I completely agree. I dont think there is any real intent, from their point of view, to change their views on certain issues and this is largely about money. However, the more ties there are between the Saudis and the west (who I know, arent angels), the more intrinsically linked our values become. The more countries cooperate and work with one another, the more each others views are shared. It will take years but eventually we will see a change, regardless if they know about it or not.

Let me get this straight, this new lot want to hire a former managing director of a successful club to be the managing director here? Revolutionary stuff. Soon we will be bidding for strikers who score goals.

:thup:

The question asked was how much do you think the potential new owners will spend not what they could spend. Anyone expecting Man City/Chelsea levels of spending will be in for a disappointment. They’ll not be spending £100m per window You are off your tits I you think they are planning on spending 50m per window. That gets you two players*. Fuck sake, even McClaren got 50m man. *pre coronavirus crisis.

Do people in here reckon the PL are refreshing their Newcastle twitter to see if this thing can go through? I'd imagine the PL isolated themselves from the media and criticism a wee while ago. :lol:

I think we might be talking about this too much now. At this point we are just winding each other up because we have nothing else to do.

extremely tedious and stupid No it's not, it's fair.

I mean, its bloody obvious that they are guilty but it wont be proven.

Feel 100% more confident that this thing will go through. I think the deal as taken as much as it can throw at it and once the dust settles it will get signed off.

You are two days late on your news and no, he wasnt part of Staveleys law suit.

I think PIF will argue that MBS doesnt run it, that other fella who meant to be our chairman does. I'm sure they have thought it through though.

Whataboutery. The most annoying word in the World atm. You are just virtue signalling mate. :lol:

Whataboutery.

You will get grief for suggesting that we are somehow victims of a press agenda mind.

I'm not a particular fan of that dentist fella but in the latest podcast he did, he explained briefly about Bein sport and the beef between the Saudis and Qatar. Basically the Qataries are worried that SA will start moving in on the sports in the region after Bein lost the rights to the F1 to UAE.

Let me just find the photos of Blair and Gaddafi.

It's financial checks, despotism then watching the game by snide means. I believe Hitler failed with a bid for Northampton Town after being caught peeking over the wall at Sixfields. :lol: That's true mind.

What you prattling on about? Again, nobody is doubting their human rights record. Nobody is downplaying it. We are just discussing the likely impact it is likely to have on the takeover. We dont need your virtue signalling in this thread, thanks.

If the PL were quashing this on human rights grounds, it wouldnt have got past the first week IMO. You dont start with financial checks, then move on to despotism. "So Mr Hitler, your financial documents are all in order and this is an excellent plan for the development of this football club in which you wish to purchase. Now, if we could just have a peak at your human rights file and..... oh wow, somebodies been a naughty boy!"

Lasted long.

Till 10pm tonight when the papers are realised online Even papers get bored if they cant find a new angle to fire from.

Pfft. Whataboutery. :lol: Just kidding. I agree entirely.
