plenum Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Aye, you can't judge a book by its cover. Let's just wait and see what the new "regime" handles everything NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

t00nraider Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Can't believe I read this "A Saudi takeover of a leading English football club looks set to go ahead because Premier League rules prohibit minor criminal offenders from ownership, but do not require any scrutiny of those accused of being war criminals, human rights abusers or murderers" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Danny Kelly said on Talksport tonight that if Spurs got taken over by the Saudis he would stop supporting them after 50 years Easy to say when there’s no prospect of ever being put in that position.

Even easier when support actually translates to follow. He’s merely followed Spurs, I doubt he’s supported them in the way most NUFC fans have supported their club that’s for certain.

Happinesstan Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I wonder, had Ashley pumped money into the club and made us the biggest club in Europe, if the press would have been more cynical towards his other business practices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I wonder, had Ashley pumped money into the club and made us the biggest club in Europe, if the press would have been more cynical towards his other business practices.

Guest chopey Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I think the fact that Ashley is a prick would prevent this from ever happening, hes a prick to his parents and wife, hes a prick to his zero hour contract slaves, hes a prick to people along side him in business, hes a prick to the people who put up with him and built his empire with him, hes a prick to the one bloke that runs his entire premier league football operation paying him buttons, hes a prick to Newcastle United legends and hes a prick to the thousands of fans he has milked for 13 years. Ashley is not a nice human. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 If you don't believe that most of this NUFC media finger wagging is due to it being NUFC then read this article from the Independent: https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/manchester-united-sale-saudi-arabia-interest-reports-latest-buy-club-mohammad-bin-salman-a8586866.html?__twitter_impression=true When it's NUFC it's "Sportswashing" when it's MUFC it's "Diversifying their interests to include sport", same group, different team.

Wullie Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 This sort of thing does us no favours. Only a matter of time before we start railing against the institutionalised anti-NUFC agenda at Amnesty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Nobody ‘important’ wants this to happen. Not for morality. Not for ffp. It’s all about politics. Imagine the Saudis decide the City of Newcastle is their European base. Imagine even a slight power shift from the recognised business centres. Imagine the light shone not just on Newcastle but the North East an highlighting the decades of neglect by successive governments. The lack of infrastructure, the low mortality age, the disproportionate subsidy rates etc Money and class still run the country. Do you think fox hunting would have lasted so long if it had been a working class ‘sport’? The BBC and the press are the PR for the old school tie connections. This potential investment will be worrying them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
