Staying in the game lads, staying in the game lol

Man fuck the Premier League for dragging this out this long. Seriously. I mean obviously they are within reason but fuck em anyway

Honest to God I never had anything against this lot but now would gladly be a part of sending them the fuck down now

Just watching the MOTD Bruce arse-licking and Neville with the "His style of football is better than Rafa" Okay, lets just forget the rubbish football we were playing for most of the season when he decided to go back to Rafa's system and play it in the most statistically boring manner but it worked... just. Wasn't fucking pleasant on the eye mind without Rondon or Perez. He keeps us up, has us anywhere 10th - 13th, that'll be a good job hes done but to say we should not be looking at Pochettino is absurd. This is the same manager the likes of Real Madrid / Barcelona / Man United have been eyeing. When you can afford the best, there is no room for sentiment. He's done a good job but lets be real here, Steve Bruce as the manager/coach of one of the richest clubs in the world if this takeover goes through. Imagine.

He has done an okay job, we can all agree on this. However, there is nothing on his CV to suggest he is capable to take us to the next level or to keep this current level consistent over a couple of seasons without being found out and capitulating - unable to fix it. For me and I imagine many others it had nothing to do with Sunderland/being British and local/"just not a sexy enough appointment" or any of that garbage. There is just nothing to suggest hes capable of taking this football club to where it potentially could be under rich owners.

This takeover. This club. You just couldn't make it up...

I've seen other reports and comments that they absolutely want to be bigger and better than Qatar in everything they do. I think MBS has a massive statement to prove and signing big name players to take the limelight away from Qatar (Man City) is more than possible. Qatar are PSG. UAE are Man City. Also, these lot will want NUFC appeal to everyone in Saudi Arabia. There is no way they won't go all in. You're correct, my mistake. From what I understand the rivalry they have with Qatar is more than UAE? Either way, MBS wants to be the biggest and best. I really hope this does come off because it will massively change our club. These guys are the richest in the Middle East and seeing as they are starting to make moves away from mostly being an oil-dependent ultra conservative Islamic country, given what they have spent in terms of bringing a new image to the country with some of the events that have been happening there (boxing, wrestling, music festivals etc.); I see no reason why they won't pump as much money as possible into this project.

Sheffield United have a Saudi prince as owner, however they aren't owned by the Saudi government. Amnesty have only come out today, when we're almost finished the deal. Man Utd/Liverpool never got nearly as close as this. Are we seriously trying to suggest now that Amnesty International are also biased against Newcastle? He's still part of the extended royal family, government and royal family are the same thing there. I'm not trying to suggest bias but where was the outcry from them at Qatar being granted the World Cup? The UAE takeover of City? Chinese and Russian involvement in football? Did I miss something? https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2019/02/reality-check-migrant-workers-rights-with-four-years-to-qatar-2022-world-cup/ https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2016/03/qatar-world-cup-of-shame/ https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde22/9758/2019/en/ https://www.amnesty.ie/qatar-migrant-workers-unpaid-for-months-of-work-by-company-linked-to-world-cup-host-city/ https://www.amnesty.ie/qatar-abuse-world-cup-workers-exposed/ https://www.amnesty.ie/qatar-authorities-must-step-up-efforts-to-honour-labour-rights-promises-before-2022-world-cup/ https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/nov/10/manchester-city-amnesty-international-football-leaks Yeah I think you may have missed something I was wrong and have been short sighted in my desperation of wanting this to go through. What do you want me to say lol Sheffield's United owner is part of the royal family and holds some position in their government, that much I know.

Not sure which rock you were under but there's been huge outcries at Qatar being given the World cup. Multiple reports on human rights of stadium building there, corruption which took down lots of people at FIFA etc. Wasn't aware of Amensty International's case with Qatar, but this has changed nothing in terms of events and ownership so far, so I fancy our chances. (Which was the original point).

Sheffield United have a Saudi prince as an owner. Highly doubt this Amnesty stuff will change shit There is no way the Royal family will go through with this without being 100% sure. They would not want to look stupid in the media. Where was Amnesty when they tried to buy Man United or Liverpool though, seriously.

I also highly doubt affirmations about this weren't in their proposal to the Premier League

Premier League wasn't always on Bein in the Middle East, it used to be with another UAE based broadcaster called ShowTime Wouldn't surprise me if its snapped up again if Bein fuck off. No cause for concern there.

Rafa, the man gets and understands the club, the city and has always seen it as a long term project.

From my time supporting this club: 1. Cisse vs. Chelsea --- 2. Tiote vs. Arsenal 3. Ben Arfa vs. Bolton (I was there)

One does wonder how many more PR disasters do people need to realise this cunt and his company are a cancer on society rather than hearing the same old "Mike Ashley is a good businessman"

Juventus vs Lyon called off also Think its inevitable all European leagues and Champions League will be suspended for a few months now

Drop him off at the glue factory. These misses are fucking shambolic for a striker that's meant to be all about clinical finishing rather than anything else.

There is no chance in hell them lot would come out as rubbish as the first half. Should be out of sight here. Fuck off Ritchie and Gayle man. To think these fucks are still here man...

MOTD tonight showing what a farce the officiating in this league is right now. VAR just highlights it further. Too many mistakes and inconsistencies.

Would argue that was his worst game for us today. Bench time needed because hes just not upto it. Gives the ball very cheaply, gives away fouls and too casual in midfield with zero influence on attack.

Longstaff can get fucked after today. Clearly not up to it.

It would take some special head in the sand retarded shithousery to defend this cunt after today. Never mind all year.

Deserves to be benched for the rest of the season for that alone. Only for someone else to do the same instead of course.
