Criticise the fit and proper test by all means but lumping us all in as more or less complicit ain’t on.

 

Yeah, in addition to my post, this is the biggest worry.

 

Everyone goes after the fanbase (how simple man?!) For the PL passing these owners.

 

Even more sketchy against the backdrop of arbitration and CAT cases.

It was a 5 minute piece basically reminding everyone how bad the regime is and how bad it is for the PL showing scenes of celebrating Newcastle fans. Richard Madeley feels sorry for us conflicted fans (all of us, drinking from the poison chalice).

 

Very brief mention of the O&D test and nothing at all about why the takeover was ultimately approved and the knots the PL and other “interested” parties got themselves tied up in. Not a single question about what suddenly changed. That story has buried very quickly.

My final word on this, it’s passed , it won’t be reversed , this will all die down in a few weeks, raise its head again then die down.

 

Fuck all the haters , let them fucking despise us I don’t give a shiny shite .

 

I won’t champion the Saudis etc but I’m not hating my club being owned by them , everyone of the cunts having a go would have them at the table .

 

Its 90% jealously, simple as that , now fuck off all of you and enjoy the ride l

I know it's hard to say, but I feel i can say with a great deal of confidence that this is correct for most if not all.

 

And I'm not trying to make myself feel any better about the situation. I'm at peace with where I sit here.

Me too.

 

Newcastle United Vs The World. Fuck them all.

Who didn't know Saudi Arabia was a very different country to ours? They have a different set of moral values formed from a very different religion to that of ours and the western world. I'm not making moral judgements on the Suadis based on our own ethical standards as its comparing apples to oranges. 

Yes I would not like to live there and do hope that they start to become more Liberal in some of their values but at the end of the day it is their country and if they want to do what they see fit I can't beat them with a stick because their moral frame work is alien to ours. 

Everyone is very quiet on China, a country which is more modern in some ways but very much in the same league as the Saudis in other ways. I didn't hear an up roar when they got involved and to argue it was a private company is a flase one as no company can do anything beyond the approval of the CCP.

The way I see it, we are not owned by Saudi Arabia itself or their kingdom, but by Saudi money which pours through every economy in the world and is also tied in into thousands of other companies, just like our club.

Good way of putting it, at the end of the day it's Pearl clutching journos and middle class champagne socialists who want to beat us with their sense of superiority. If we hasn't taken it someone else would have and I would rather it be us than someone else.

I’m sure some of them think they can have this sale reversed. TeeHee. I’m not going to sit and be admonished by an equally exploited woman who works for 2 spivs that peddle their wares to Dirty Barry’s bookstore. 

Perfect use of the word :thup:

I'm sure one of he dildo twins said he would only sell to Saudi Arabia or such like

 

Plus before they look at our takeover maybe we should all push to see how West Ham benefitted from the Stadium deal, I'm sure that was pretty dodgy

Thought that article was pretty spot on myself.

 

If you go jumping around SJP in a Bin Salman mask you do need an article or two to tell you what to do. Because you are an idiot.

I suspect anyone doing that isn't the type of person reading articles

You dont even know me if that is indeed directed at me?

 

I was pointing out that the number of articles telling the NUFC fan base what they should do, is off the scale.   Maybe if they had taken more interest during the 14 years of Ashley and supported the NUFC fans when they called out, then maybe PIF would never have come on the scene?

 

Also, whilst waving Saudi flags, wearing tea towels on head or wearing masks, I personally wouldn't do, its up to individuals to make a decision.  Im sure within a few weeks all that will stop naturally anyway.   Its just the excitement of a new era and we dont need Media telling us what we should and shouldn't do for that to happen.

Oh sorry, it wasnt pointed at you. Just to the individuals doing stupid shit like that.

 

But I disagree, those idiots need to be called out. Not ok.
