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. The issue for the media is that we're now richer than the rest of the PL combined. Human Rights is a convenient stick to beat us with, but it's clear their actual concern is how much money we have now and how their beloved teams are going to be left behind after they unsuccessfully tried to leave the rest of us behind this year.

Keggy_Keagal Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 The irony of the Guardian using Twitter to promote itself which Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal owns a decent chunk of. Wilson, who wrote the 2nd best book on Brian Clough I've read (Provided You Don't Kiss Me was better although Wilson's book is bloody good) with his "There is only one question Newcastle fans and football more generally needs to ask: how do you feel about torture and murder?" I reckon most of us aren't keen like but as above what are we supposed to do about it ? This is just the start people. There's going to be a paradigm shift in how Newcastle United (and therefore it's supporters) are both perceived and portrayed. Get used to being hated. Jealousy is a hell of a motivator. There's nothing to say you can't enjoy the takeover, Newcastle United under this new ownership and deplore the actions of one of the parties involved. When previous owners of the club have done terrible things Newcastle United fans weren't expected to be responsible so I don't see why they are now ?

Loads of people at work who support other teams asking me my opinion on the Saudis, no doubt so they can start picking holes in whatever viewpoint I give. Right now I'm stunned and elated that Ashley has fucked off, I've not really got any further than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Boils my piss the BBC have a lead story that the other 19 PL clubs are complaining about us but, the day after the CAT hearing took place, the piece on it was nowhere to be seen on their website unless you went to our specific club page. These 19 clubs sound like jeleous cunts more than anything. Happy that Mike Ashley took us for a ride for 14 years but now complaining about our new ambitious owners.

David Edgar Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 This is massive news. Utterly dominating the current news cycle. It isn't bias that the BBC have splashed the complaints story on the Sports page. It'll go tomorrow and be replaced with Bruce's sacking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Strange that the other 19 clubs didn't have any issues with the Burnley takeover which was leveraged to fuck and completely innappropriate. Then again, they're no threat....................................How strange indeed. Edited October 9, 2021 by Minhosa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must owe close to a billion on their stadium, now no super league and the prospect of playing Champions League again is looking remote. Plus covid probably affected them more than any other club, they needed bums in seats the last 18 months before this season started. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
