If theres a direct link that the saudi gov are behind beoutQ the potential compo the premier league amongst others could go after would be astronomical. If they were to wave this deal through does it weaken their case? Personally i still believe it will go through

It could completely screw the Premier league though. There's no way foreign TV companies are going to pay millions for rights while the people who are ripping them off are endorsed.

I heard something about image rights. I'm not to sure what means in a whole but I think clubs are unhappy that the Saudis are using their brand without their permission.

well this latest news doesn't do anything for my optimism.
I hope there is a decision soon so I know if I can look forward to the future with excitement or continue in apathy.

Nothing exciting about this criminal state. I wouldn't want them anywhere near Sunderland, can't believe you want to sell your soul for having the chance to buy Gareth Bale.
You really showed your real face there, newcastle fans vs amnesty international and a grieving widow. It's your lowest point.

Imagine stealing 17m for a blood thirsty tyrant. Ashley is a superhero!
Told Staveley to leave him alone, he insisted and came back with her bigger mates, he took 17m from them and sent them packing. :lol:
You can't bully this big kid!

If this is what happens it'd be f***ing hilarious, regardless of it being the mags.

One of the sticks that Ashley gets hit with is that he doesn't invest when it's wise to. e.g. Pardew somehow managed 5th, we had money in the bank and that summer we signed Vurnon Anita, subsequently the season that followed was a relegation scrap. Ashley could have written off the debt (as Short did), or worked on commercial income for the club's benefit.

Some fans might, some fans expect us to be relegated every season. Most fans I know, and most fans online seem not to exist at these extremes. Unsurprisingly.



I do admit that. The majority of my life (I'm 38) Sunderland have finished below Newcastle. My experiences of Newcastle include title challenges, European competitions, cup finals, comfortable midtable finishes, and only a few seasons out of the top flight. My experiences of Sunderland; usually finishing below us, not playing in Europe, not challenging for the title, spending a good few seasons out of the top flight, the seasons you were in the top flight spent in the bottom half. All of these experiences do paint a picture of Sunderland AFC as a bit shit.

And of course I'm biased and forget the dross years for us and emphasise the bad years for you, but I hope you see that it's an understandable POV. If I was perhaps older and saw you be more successful, or if I was younger and hadn't seen us challenge for the title, or play in the Champions League, saw more of us in lower leagues, maybe I wouldn't hold this view.

The rivalry will always paint the opposition as shit, how often do you see people insist on here that our players are shit, our manager is shit, our stadium is shit, our city is a shithole etc. It's daft tribalism. Which is fine. It's when you see people twisting themselves in knots to try and dismiss achievements, or downplay history or whatever. There's plenty of shit to throw at both clubs, and plenty to celebrate without fabricating made up shit.

I've said "shit" a lot.
And said a lot of shit.

Very true it will come down to if they can put enough distance between the fund buying the club and the saudi gov.
