FloydianMag Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Kieran Maguire estimates legal fees on the takeover are well over £10 million plus, the best lawyers certainly don’t come cheap. https://www.footballinsider247.com/newcastle-united-chiefs-will-be-delighted-as-10m-already-spent-maguire/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo_11 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Noted a few posts in the thread about this, but seems like the CAT was a key outcome. The fact other clubs are now kicking up a fuss likely indicates some were kept informed or updated about the process in 2020 (whether that was the Premier League or beIN). The game has gone, but we could say the same about Project Big Picture and the ESL where that came out the blue. Disappointed with the BBC in all honesty who shared the FOI requests from 2020 as "latest news" when they didn't care back in May 2020 in our calls for transparency. You can't have it both ways.

Whitley mag Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Nearly a million views now for that video the club put out last night. Had a trip up to the ground this morning and it’s safe to say sales in the club shop we’re brisk. I think our commercial income is set to rocket.

Tiresias Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Sigh treats newcastle fans like idiots as if we alone should take a stand and boycott otherwise we are morally blind. This is the leagues mess, all very well acting all superior to local mps who can see jobs and investment coming into teh area from a country we happily trade with. I do wonder if the game has gone considering teh greed etc but that is a universal problem for all premier league fans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do radio shows, newspapers and interviews who have Newcastle fans on to talk about the takeover, football and last 14 years get met with human rights activists? What on earth can we say to said activists? Can we make them go 'oh, aye you're right, Staveley in'? I've seen more stuff about Saudi Arabian geopolitics and human rights in the last 3 days online than I've seen in the last 3 years from our own government who actually deals with them, nevermind these out-of-nowhere white collar experts on MENA conflicts and politics.

Tiresias Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 The premier league has been doing awful things for years. Now does something awful which benefits us but apparently we are the only ones who should take action about it. I completely sympathise with them talking about how absurd it is and how awful mbs is but they lose me with the newcastle fans need to take a long hard look at themselves but apparently this is just our problem? If the premier league is too lacking in morals for you (and this is totally reasonable in my opinion) then take a step back, I feel like tht a bit too, it certainly feels a little soulless. But if you want to cover man united man city derby but think our fans are crazy for enjoying this? What? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy on Twitter summed it up for me personally. This doesn’t fall at our feet (that might get chopped off) but equally we should not be doing Saudi PR for them. Imo. If they have any sense whatsoever, the Saudis should just double down on making the whole thing laser focused on Newcastle and romantic Geordie nonsense and avoid even saying the words Saudi Arabia.

Fully agreed, just when they interview human rights activists, like what are we meant to say? When they write these articles like above, which is actually dreadfully written, do we just nod along or something? Dunno whether I'm frustrated at it or just fewmin that its getting dropped on the shoulders of football fans who tend to not have a clue about this sort of stuff.

nufcjb Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 The only bad thing coming out of this takeover happening in this international break is the journos have plenty of columns and space to fill in their papers. So this anti-Saudi theme is publishrd left, right and center. I guess it will slowdown once England play tonight or even once the PL games start again. Maybe it won't go away either but I'm not paying attention and also those forums of other ckubs like RAWK can go to fuck too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 2 days in and I am already bored rigid about people banging on about the human rights side of it. Don’t mind people having opinions and their takes on it, but when people try to force it down your throat constantly then they can get to fuck. Everyone is entitled to an opinion just don’t try and force that opinion down my throat every 5 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
