He actually spoke as well and as reflectively about it as he possibly could. Which is unsurprising for him.

It’ll be interesting to see what “not sweeping it under the carpet” will mean in practice though. I predict fuck all.

I'll make a confident prediction now that they will be threatening fuck all in the way of trophies in the next 10 years but it's all about opinions I suppose. 🤷

They thought exactly the same when Ashley took over, they were going to be the new top dogs. The reality of course was he had no intention of wasting his own money on them, what makes pif any different. Their acquisition of a majority stake in nufc represents circa 0.5% of the value of current portfolio. Mags will be spitting their dummies when the billions needed to catch up with City et al isn't forthcoming.
 
I went to bed still hating the Middle East , generally all of it, and still do.

I will guarantee this. I would turn my back on the club I love if these had took over and probably fell out or fought with anybody who waved a saudi flag or dressed like one of those west hating terrorist scum.

That's bollocks, I wouldn't want them anywhere near our club and when they have been linked to others the reaction has been the same.

They have done their homework well and knew exactly where they would be welcomed with open arms.

I am absolutely howling at this mind.

So you wouldn’t have wanted them to buy Sunderland?

Of course not :D

I don’t remember you being such a man of principle when we had a nazi for a manager or a sex offender on the wing.

That's alright then.

Forget about the links to Al-Qaeda, ISIS, all of the murders, slavery and torture of innocent people they have overseen because some people feel comfortable being gay in their own country. Despite that though they can still be sent to death for being gay.
 
Interesting that the nufc fans have been crying their eyes out and telling anyone who will listen that the premier league is corrupt. Now the premier league have deemed it fit and proper to install one of the most despicable countries on planet earth when it comes to human rights everything is fine and dandy.
 
Tyneside is awash with premature ejaculation and gravy celebrating the fact they can go back to Sports Direct to buy tracky bottoms and toon tops after the boycoutt (sic)

Not that the scruffy tramps ever stopped going in the first place 😏
