Why you’d give that stations unrelenting shit the time of day, I’ll never know.

He’s basically Morty from Goodfellas without the necessary death scene

And they say sportswashing doesn't work. Yeah, I'm sure everyone on here would definitely just give up and walk away if the person who had their future wife dismembered still hadn't faced justice, just so some miscellaneous football fans overseas can have a sugar daddy. This is it man, it’s happening on WhatsApp’s I’m in too. Like you have to pick a side football fan style in this.

Self immolate with any luck

Am I one of the rare breed who hated Ashley because his immoral company and its name was plastered over SJP at the expense of the purpose of the club therefore a state fund buying us with evidence of accusing them of worse I want just as not much? The PIF are the company/state entity buying us and should be the focus. Using petrol, the BBC, UK government as examples to explain away why this isn’t sinister is folly - they may be at fault somewhere but it’s PIF are the ones under scrutiny for alleged PR laundering so why point the finger elsewhere? I’m not sure where I stand with all this but I’m sure as hell that ‘we aren’t getting our club back’ or anything near what Robson described after this debate’s implications transpire.

Stop hanging on for it ? I know it’s hard and there’s nowt else but I feel better for it.

As if we wouldn’t do the same. Clearly a massive lads fan.

It’s clearly a PR nightmare - regardless good irrelevant annoying think these letters are. Which takes time to Manage.

In more hypocrisy, we were fine with bin laden and the likes when he was kicking the soviets arses with the Mujadeen in Afghanistan. ‘Crack on Ossy bonny lad. Up the gooners’

Is he the actual dean of Newcastle University? Expected better.

Fairly sure something was produced during Anthony Joshua’s fight

I mean I’m not about to abandon NUFC over it, but to not see her point of view is myopic to the nth degree

New poster comes on - gets effectively told to fuck off in a relevant topic; it’s not on.

There’s gonna be crossover like. I don’t see the problem in talking about it. I get the positivity thread being a thing but it’s as if people want to ignore this. 100 people make the same point 100 times a day on 100 topics. It’s just what happens.

Its a pity that as a club we can’t be seen to register distaste at sports neglect/direct in case someone with a worse record buys/invests instead. You may not really care and that’s fine but we weren’t wrong to do it.

I don't care if it's Qatar releasing the story. It's one we should be discussing seriously. It's not enough to simply acknowledge wrong-doing. A man was murdered for criticising a regime. That does not deserve death. Why should we ? It’s got nothing to do with football, if your going to attach the murder to the purchase of the club then also discuss it in relation to live nation, Warner brothers and other Saudi purchases. No one is disputing the murder is horrendous, it’s the hypocrisy that the sale of nufc should be stopped whilst all these other deals go throughout without a murmur. The one thing this deal won’t be stopped on is human rights, it would put the premier league at odds with the policy of the U.K. government. What is blatantly happening here is human rights lawyers are using the high profile nature of this sale to gain publicity, as they know the Saudis buying stakes in other companies just doesn’t draw the same attention. You can’t blame them for this as this is their job, however what I strongly object to is the notion that we should sacrifice the chance of a lifetime for our city and club, If this was blocked these same people would move on to their next cause and wouldn’t give a s%#t about us. So whilst I acknowledge and understand the human rights aspect, ths hypocrisy expecting us to be line drawn in the sand with Saudis doesn’t wash with me and many others. Spot on Whitley Mag. 100% agree with you here, everything you said is spot on. Nail on head Because we argued Ashley was a human rights abuser and used that angle in some of our protesting. Makes us look a tad hypocritical if we say nowt. I’ve done this very overtly and I still don’t like the associations of SD with NUFC. Bothers me greatly that people are even okay with stadium renaming to Saudi PIF interests provided money is involved and it might just be the way it is but it’s not right. Feels like I have to accept any value is sacrificial for a price. Even though they’ll likely invest, I feel I can hold these lot even less accountable if they do stuff I disagree with. Think I’m out of love with modern football if I’m honest.

Hate is always a strong word imo. I just think he’s a bit of an oaf and deluded if you think you can come in an demand respect i the way he did off the back of what happened with Rafa and full knowledge of what Ashley is about. He came at the zenith of mediocrity for the club. Perhaps unavoidable and it’s a bit of an aside from his own matchday/TG ability. I hate what his appt represents and that’s reason for him to go on it’s own.

Jonas had great close control but no end product.

Go outside for a bit. Everybody else seems at it.

Sugar Gay Leonard

He seems enthralled anyway.
