So, by implication, all the mags who have boycotted Sports Direct are “arses”?

Why on earth do you expect me to speak for the entire Newcastle support? You asked for my opinion and I gave it. You seem.to have an issue with that.
If you're asking whether I'd rather have Bruce or Benitez I'd much rather have Benitez. Again, my personal opinion. Try and read it, or again you can come back asking me to explain something completely irrelevant.

I don't expect you to. I'm pointing out that he's been getting slaughtered for how you've done this season, and it's ramped up over the last 24 hours for some strange reason.

At very worst he's had a season comparable to anything Benitez managed in the league, and has done better in the FA Cup too.

They need a new squad to finish in the top 4.If their two headless chickens don’t produce the goods they’re shite.

Necessity is the mother of all invention. Have you heard that saying?
You are more or less implying, for want of an analogy, is that because the Saudi regime murdered Khashoggi his fiancé now shouldn’t use the resources the Saudis supply?

I really don't understand what your point is.

Anyone thinking the fans have any say in this are delusional. If they get the nod and Ashley is prepared to sell then there isn't a single thing the supporters can reasonably be expected to do prevent this sale going through.

I would imagine there are a fair few who are are completely for it as they don't do ethics when it comes to football. There'll also be some who might say it's too much and never darken the doors again.

The fact that Staveley is taking a share makes me think this is more about getting a return on investment rather than being a sugar daddy like Abramovitch and Mansour. So roll on a few years, good players sold on for profit, and it will be the same old story.

I'm 100% confident that were the situations to be reversed those on here taking the moral high ground would be keeping quiet and me and other would be slating you for getting into the bed with the devil.

The thing is, if you are going to get all moral about this possible purchase, don't you have to start condemning other parts of your life influenced by the likes of the Saudis? You are probably putting their petrol in our cars. You might be working for an employer that sell them billions of pounds worth of arms and equipment. You might have voted for a government openly supporting their rulers.

I still thing the whole thing is about getting a return, albeit improving your squad it won’t be anywhere near the Mansour Man City copy many are expecting.
 
Has everyone got the defence ready?

- Every victory will be tainted
- You will only sign journeyman and players looking for a big pay day
- Saudis only bought you as they were turned down by all the other clubs
- Anyone who has changed their social media profile names to Arabic is a wrong 'un
- St James is going to be alcohol free
- The Strawberry is being turned into a mosque
- They will sell the investment, for a profit, in 3 years like they did with Uber

....

Me too. If it was just the Saudis then it might be more like Man City.

Not getting involved in the morality of a sovereign state but what on earth do those words of Plato have to do with anything they have written?

If the Saudis murdered my Father I wouldn’t stop using my car because they supplied the fuel. Petrol = necessity. Need = necessity and is the major factor, the mother if you like

In 5 years 😂. Qatar taking over Leeds in the summer. I bet that is more of a man city style takeover. They are already mentioning sending players from PSG to Leeds.

Also, Newcastle racecourse is an absolute dump. Proof that everything they are involved is not necessarily glistening in gold. Perspective needed by Newcastle fans. Very rich owners, but how much of the wealth will they be willing to invest?
