Bit like Rafa and the Real job

Or Allardyce and the England job.

In that both managers had done enough in their careers to deserve a crack at those roles?

 

[mad cyril]

I’m over the moon about the Saudi investment because it’s going to cause an absolute shitstorm for the mags. Amnesty international have already had their say, I fully expect things to ramp up once the takeover goes through.

it won’t really. Firstly, people don’t really care who buys football clubs, I’m sure Saudis buy all manner of things that don’t create anything’s no more than a whimper. Secondly, there’s more pressing issues currently taking place.

personally ( whilst I don’t know a great lot of what it is they do ) I’m likewise uneasy about there regimes.

99. 9 of the mags couldn't give a flying fuck and we'd be the same. Football fans are only bothered about what happens on the pitch.

Harsh truth.

 

[mr chuckles]

Harsh truth.

It's not harsh it's reality

Stinks of mag on here...

 

[Shandy drinker]

I am all for being owned by extremely wealthy people but a country that funds terrorism. No thanks.

Plus human and women's rights abusers

 

[kingkeane]

We arm them, Sunderland are English. You kind of already do?

try and bend this anyway you like the Saudis are rancid

More like skunks

Not bending anything - I agree. Most of their practices are disgusting, utterly disgusting. Some of ours (selling weapons and arming terrorists, unjust war in Iraq etc) are too. Very few countries are innocent.

Im sure they'll cope

Don McClean caught the last train for the coast, with the father, son and the Holy Ghost. Wasn’t aware of his work on Crackerjack. Child of the 90’s.

With Peter glaze

 

[Mr B]

What do you think is in the fit and proper persons test?

Obviously not the sanctioning of the murder of journalists, war crimes, etc...

I wouldn’t want my football club associated with them but that’s just me. I am sure it won’t bother many of your fans but it’s definitely sportswashing

Exactly so it's a moot point when bringing up the owners and directors test

Amnesty will havefull scale protests outside before every game
Make the dirty mag protests outside of sports direct look like a nursery outing

 

[Mr B]

I see we're fully into the "rafa was a great Newcastle manager because of what he did at other clubs" cycle again then.

Hope he makes a comeback up the road. Could you imagine the money he could waste on mediocrity and the boring football he’d churn out if given the chance.

Do they protest against other things the Saudi PIF is involved in?

I genuinely think people are underestimating what will happen. This is probably Saudi Arabia’s most publicised investment. Saudi Arabia is a major target for Amnesty International and other human rights groups, Newcastle games will now become a focus for their protests, it’s a perfect platform for them to be heard given the worldwide reach of the Premier League.

Nah. Cant see that happening like.
