Well considering the lofty moral virtues Newcastle fans and Chi Onwurah has for themselves in challenging Mike Ashley, it’s shows how detestable it is the same people are now welcoming truly evil people as owners.....because of dirty money.

So low virtues

Just shows what everybody knows, and that football fans are fickle, hypocritical and care only about how well their team does.
If Newcastle had done well under Ashley, or won something, or even just been dynamic and ambitious there wouldn't have been the issue with his business practices.
If the team is doing well, it's easy to divorce the football club from the actions of the owner.
Plenty of people had issue with Ashley but still attended. They go to support the club that was there long before whichever owner or manager or players are currently there. Many didn't give a toss about boycotts or ousting Ashley and care only about going to see the team play.
I expect it'll be the same with these new ones if it goes through. People just want a club that's doing well and to enjoy their football and can easily ignore the owners, or at least ignore what else they get up to as long as they do well for their club.
 
What is an absolute certainty, based on over 100 years of not being able to agree on anything. When the day comes that NUFC want the Saudis out, SAFC will proclaim them to be great owners and how we don’t deserve them.

I was reading up on bin Salman. He isn't worth £260bn, he is worth £7bn. The fund and the Saudi royal family are £260bn. He is a despot. Killing journalists, getting involved in the US election, bombing Yemen and starting a war, the blockade on Qatar and hacking Jeff Bezos accounts. It's like Vladimir Putin buying a club. And we think Tory Boy Charlie is a tosspot!

This is what pisses me off. We had MSD Capital ready to buy in. Michael S. Dell's personal wealth is £25m alone. Even if the other 3 were running things we'd be owned by 3 billionaires with Dell as a passive investor. Donald and Methven blew it!

I don't know where you get your info from but he is the royal family, he's the crown Prince number 1, he's probably worth a lot more than 260 billion too, aparently there is a hold up because the pension company which backs the take over , which in turn also the TV stations which pumps out the Premier league matches in the region for free, sky TV can't make any money over there, if the Premier league find a link between the TV companies and the consortium they may fail there criteria for owning a premier club, if there's a provable link they'll get knocked back, we shall see
