I’ve honestly got no idea, the impression I get is that it’s someone who used to go to our matches but disagrees with the Saudi takeover so started a group. Never researched it or owt yet, just wondered if anyone knew anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the ethics, it is wrong for any football club to be owned by a sovereign wealth fund like we are. It's ludicrous and I agree at the rancourous state of the ethics. It's just, I do wonder with Auclaire, does he think the Premier league is a temple we have defiled? It has been defined by hideous greed since the start? I applaud everyone who can live monk like away from interacting with bad faith actors and evil corporations and bloody money. But we all have to live in this world, have our pleasures somewhere and it's frankly exhausting. I am still uncomfortable with the ownership and will sympathise with those points, but sometimes it feels like all the blame is laid at our door and all action is levelled at newcastle fans to do. I would never never criticise another toon fan for wanting to purely enjoy this. I will criticize needlessly cheerleading for teh saudi regime, you are not obliged to love unconditionally the owner of your club. But the league is rotten, don't demand only newcastle fans boycott, when it's so rotten surely you should be demanding all the fans say enough is enough of this league sort it out. But no it's just Newcastle fans and every other fan is off the hook and these pundits can keep watching the league and pretend that their conscious is clear. Completely agree but it’s interesting that abusing refs is now more than acceptable if Evil Eddie says otherwise. It’s schoolyard level stuff. Not too mention beloved Jurgen and his club of utter saints backing the Superleague which would’ve and will do far more damage to English football than our owners will.

I think aswell, football has been in an arms race for financial clout for over a century now, a. Race which we have for lack of a better term won. Everyone should accept this and push towards a game that is both ethical and competitive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things equal I would be more than happy for us to punch our weight if all clubs were operating under their own steam without stupidly rich backers. We did well enough in the 90's and 2000's under KK and Bobby. But all things aren't equal, and haven't been since Qatari and Russian money started buying up the PL. We've just reluctantly joined the party so we can compete again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elbee909 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Auclair is a massive Arsenal fan btw. I know it's a touch of the 'whataboutisms' but he might want to join the dots re. their sponsor and the UAE's human rights record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Think this is poor from Holt.
