Don't feel I need educated but when this was all announced I'll admit I got pretty excited by it all, started thinking up wild s*** that could be our reality now! But then you think about it more, and think about the links we may have to such a f***ing abhorrent state and it's definitely not something any fan can possibly want, regardless of the wealth etc. I wish I could be cut and dry with the matter like yourself and others you met, but it does sit a little uneasy on me. Problem is, I don't practice this in every single aspect of life and thus I feel really hypocritical My justification is pretty simplistic if this country is prepared to accept 60 billion of Saudi investment, why should we feel duty bound to make a stand regarding this. It’s the modern world unfortunately why should we suffer more pain just keep Gary Kasparov and co sleeping easy at night. Like I say maybe simplistic and uneducated, but I’d guess it’s the majority of fans view on this. You don’t have to accept that either. I already have bring on the # cans

Just had a look in the success at any cost thread, quickly exited it’s like a parallel universe. I get some people have strong views on saudi’s, but the type casting of our support who back this takeover, you would think we are all thickos who need educating. Every person I speak to is buzzing for this takeover. Actually feel kind of sorry for some of these fans who probably were desperate to get rid of Ashley, but can’t enjoy this due to their strong feelings. But like I say yet to meet any of these types in my every day life ! Counting down the minutes to cracking open those #cans

I fu£%ed off this morning was turning into a right s#%t show on here. Might be a bit brazen for a newcomer like myself, but thought that other thread success at any cost would have been the place for some posters. Anyway onwards and upwards think today has been a good day for the takeover feeling very positive this will go through this week.

Wrong the noise, passion, feeling of belonging will be greater after this takeover than at any point in the last 13 years. So would having any other owner. Granted but your kidding yourself if you don’t think this takeover has captured the imagination like no other. It could take us to 90’s levels of excitement, something a whole generation of our support have never experienced. In your bubble maybe. Not saying that bubble's not the majority or anything, or that it won't influence the next generation, but I wouldn't count on this being the thing that reunites the existing fan base, this debate will go on for a while and I can see plastics replacing the existing fans who this whole thing doesn't sit right with. Think you’ll be surprised by how many old school lads will make a comeback if he goes. Don’t think the atmosphere as it is at the minute could be any worse.

It's the Daily Mail, how could you in the first place? No idea mate just like torturing myself at the min (no Saudi pun intended ) To quote the great man himself before signing off Don't ever give up on your club. Keep supporting it, it's your club and trust me, one day you will get your club back and it will be everything you wanted it to be.” - Kevin Keegan Are we getting it back now or with the next owner? The Staveley bid will feel as close to getting club back as we could achieve. It’s already documented she’s engaged locally with certain people. They appear keen to engage with previous players and bring them back into club. Staveley has already used Man City as an example of how they have invested in local regeneration as an example of what she would like to do. Just imagine that millions being pumped into local regeneration, the impact on the city post Coronavirus would be enormous. And finally fans like me who haven’t been for years due to the current parasite, would feel able to return to St James. So yeah apart from fan ownership that would pretty much feel like having my club back.

3 separate articles on news now from daily mail, each one sticking the knife in. They practically let that t#%t from fair square right an article. I wouldn’t care if his main point was human rights, however he’s trying to use the sheff u conflict of influence angle. Let no one be in any doubt these f£@#rs will try anything to stop this, how anyone nufc can even emphasise with them is beyond me.

Such as sports ministers following us on twitter. This is the thing for me like, there's so much ancillary evidence to suggest it's well on its way but the instant some fucknugget on twitter posts a bit of speculative thick-as-whale-spunk s**** everybody's in the pit of despair again Don’t think I’ve ever known us as supporter base to be as jumpy as we are at the minute. But never has so much been at stake !

Why, what’s wrong with an American hedge fund? A faceless hedge fund operating entirely to make profit for its investors. I’d like to wager they won’t be looking to invest in the city like this lot. This is a game changer and why people elsewhere are uneasy and rattled. An ambitious and wealthy Newcastle with momentum will be unstoppable.

Just sitting in the garden watching a re run of Kelly’s goal v Pompey in 92. Reminds me of what this club is about, a radged up st James, limbs all over, people spilling on the bench kissing the turf, lads next to me from shields, Washington going fucking mental in the east stand. Point being let’s get a fucking grip over this takeover f!#k your keys, delaneys, holt and Gary fu@#ing Kasparov ! I can understand amnesty’s stance but the above mentioned have ulterior motives, self interest and above all else are hypocriites. We’ve all seen the photo of Delaney in his Man U shirt and Kasparov with emiratis this morning. These tw$%s have the audacity to tell us what we should do and quote nufc is a community club who should be protected. Where were these fu%#$rs the last 13 years when we’ve royally been fu#%ed over. I didn’t see any of them writing to the premier league demanding mike to be kicked out. Speaking personally when this goes through I’ll be going mental like back in 92 ! Newcastle United will never be defeated !

These are exactly the type of thoughts that supporters should be bombarding the Premier League now. Let’s fight for this takeover and show Staveley we’re 100% behind her in this. Billions invested in uk economy by Saudi’s and NUFC being asked to the draw a line in the sand. Let that sink in for a minute, where being asked to sacrifice a lifetimes opportunity for people who now pretend to be concerned about a future. Make no mistake if where stuck with Ashley these people will not care a jot and will f!?k off to their next righteous cause. To old timers like me the thought of the first game after this and 50,000 mags defiantly singing newcastle are back hello, would bring a tear to the eyes after last years. Let’s fight for this takeover in any small way we can !
