I need to go back and read it all as I honestly have not read anybody supporting it. I’m sure ive already posted my opinion but for your benefit if you’ve missed it.

do I condone human rights actions undertaken by MBS and Saudi Arabia - Yes.

is it going to stop me supporting my football club - No.

I’d imagine that will be the same as the vast majority of fans.

I think you made a typo mate, i think you meant to say no not yes to the first one...... just going on what you have posted previous

I get it, but this was countered very eloquently by another Newcastle fan yesterday.

We could take the same moral arguments to those other Middle Eastern, Chinese and Russian owned clubs.

I can only comment I never saw any of the same moral outrage when Litvinenko or Boris Nemtsov or Anna Politkovskaya were assassinated. Please do not pretend that Abramovic does not owe his wealth to Putin’s patronage.

It leads me to think there are ulterior motives to the newfound explosion of morality on this board.

Anyway, I have pledged to stop antagonising you all. Frankly, we should be thankful for good health. There are more important things.

The family are about to give applause on the doorstep, must go.

The @premierleague said to be uneasy about aspects of Saudi-backed £300m takeover of @nufc - lawyers reportedly scrutinising deal.
So @nufc fans - do you 100% back the mega deal or are you troubled by image of potential new owners?

The latter however my opinion counts for nothing.

They think Bruce and Ashley translates to being thought of as a small club.
They believe Rafa and Saudi owners translates into everyone thinking they’re a massive club.

it’s pretty much that simple really.

By "they" i assume you are referring to the knackers on twitter and/or making ridiculous comments on the Chronicle comments pages?

If so then i agree with you.

If "they" is a generalization of actual Newcastle fans then your post is absolute bollocks sir.

I think he might have a point if beoutQ was buying Newcastle.
As it stands I think he is just being a mouth piece for the government of Qatar in the ongoing battle with the Saudi's and trying to give the Saudi's more bad press.
I don't know what he expects the premier league to do with it.

I thought that also however he goes on to say that they are his opinions and he has not be asked / told to raise the issues. I obviously believe him.

Good Lord, they are off already.... ” the search is on for a new Shearer” , “We are going to win everything”, “we are going to buy Sunderland just to put them out of business”...... They are a breed all of their own.....

i was smiling at the thought of BeIN blocking it, just so that I could see the twats squirm.
I bet that there won’t be many journalists writing negative pieces about their new potential owners ..... we all know what happens to journalists that step out of line.

Just read the comments on a chronicle article about the takeover on Facebook.

They have fans on there actually proposing that when the takeover goes through...
They go out into the streets to clap at 8pm...


Honestly... you couldnt make it up
 
Obsessed, who gives a shit who supports who.
Imagine the audacity of supporting a different club than you eh? Dirty Bristow.

I agree generally. When we appointed Di Canio it didn't make me feel comfortable due to his fascist links. I still supported the team but it didn't quite sit right. I think everyone would agree that they would prefer not to have owners like the ones mooted to take over the Mags but, at the end of the day, we all follow our teams to see them win.
