Works out well for Sunderland, think they would be 8th if the table is based on PPG

This isn't a black and white issue, we are dealing with each persons morals and those are times subjective to a certain extent. I think we can all agree we want Mike Ashley gone and therefore him leaving will be a massive relief and a joyous occasion, it's been so long since we have been a proper club, and by that I simply mean a club trying to be better tomorrow than it is today. We've been a zombie club with brief moments of joy but by and large it's been absolute misery. In terms of the potential new owners, I think it's possible to recognise their issues but still want to support the club. I personally want this takeover to go through and i'll buy a season ticket if they are available, I miss going to the football. The issues with the new owners don't bother me enough to not want to go to the football or support my team. If however they were exactly like Ashley when it came to running the club then I would stop going but my issue with them would be the football and not other things. Having said that if the Israeli government were buying us my stance would change, does that make me selective in my morals? Aye I suppose it does. Does it make me a hypocrite? Again I suppose it does. If we are all honest with ourselves there is an element in hypocrisy in how we perceive things. Certain issues will bother people more than others. That's just reality. It's neither right or wrong, it just is. What does concern me is the section of our fans (admittedly this could just be a minority) that have suddenly become experts in the middle east and are defending everything, we've seen today our fans attacking Hatice Cengiz (fiancee of Khashoggi) on twitter, calling her a "slappa" and telling her to "fuck off". I've seen the Saudis defend and be in denial about what happened to Khashoggi, I expect nothing less from them but that's not something we should be doing. It's disgraceful and I'm comfortable in saying that is wrong. We can be happy our club is a club again without become cheer leaders. When it comes to certain sections of the media (Keys, Delaney etc) then ideally we would ignore them but I understand that's easier said than done so I've no issues when we challenge them but we shouldn't go after Amnesty/Hatice etc, it's embarrassing. I understand overall people will be conflicted, if people feel so strongly about the issues that they will no longer follow the club then we should respect that. If they feel strongly about the issues but still want to follow the club we should respect that. If they aren't bothered by the issues then we should respect that (as long as they don't go attacking people that have legitimate grievances).

Some of the replies are absolutely lifting Genuinely fucking abhorrent. The worst one has been removed, it read: "The Premier League ain't gonna stop the takeover so you and all the other haters who are jealous about us being the richest club in the world may as well give up ?? up the Saudi's" I replied to one (has since been deleted) which told her to fuck off ?

As an individual probably nothing but a banner of significant size then probably the stewards I really can't see anyone wanting to do that though we might see protests outside the ground from people Welcome back man Thanks, the potential takeover has me excited

Same, wanted to dislike him but couldn't really, he was very naive but seemed like his heart was in the right place Methven was a massive prick though

Allan Saint-Maximin (now playing for Fenerbahce, on loan from Al-Ahli)
Geordie Ahmed replied to Disco's topic in Football
Between Almiron, Joelinton, Saint-Maxim, Gayle, Muto, Longstaff and Ritchie I think it will suffice. The league is not as strong this year. Gayle will be sold to claw back some money and Ritchie is a LWB now -
I thought the exact same thing Referring to working hard on a deal and also praising the current owner I always felt BZG wouldn't be part of a fakeover BUT now I'm not so sure

Don't be so childish So he leaves here as he can’t control the clubs finances, As literally no club would do in the world ‘ the project wasn’t good enough ‘ Goes to China for the coin to a nothing team He’s full of shit man Absolute bollocks What do you want him to do? Cry and sit around He wanted a project with us because he saw the potential with us, that wasn't matched by the owner so he's entitled to go and make a few quid. He's earned it after putting up with Ashley's crap for the last 3 years
-
He wanted a project with us, that didn't happen. Don't think he'll find the connection with the fans that he had with us so going to China to rake in the money for a couple of years is understandable and good on him. After the crap he's had to put up with for the last 3 years he has earned the right to chill for a bit.

Let's be honest, we know how this plays out and driving Ashley out isn't it
-
Like everybody else that's "heard" things it's going to be absolute bollocks
