There's nothing inevitable about it. The mags appear to think that the wealth fund, which is 50 years worth of effort and investments is actually cash sat waiting to be spent on nufc. In reality, column K, Row 68, Tab 227 of the PIF spreadsheet is where the mags investment sits. The crown prince will even have to change the settings to print them off.

Sam Fender on BBC breakfast in full mag tracksuit saying how great the takeover is.
Saying him and his saxaphone player were outside the ground and the sax player belted out local hero fans going mad etc .

Hmm Sam what about the beheadings? ,anti gay? ,women with no rights?
Some of your songs are about wrongdoings to people and peoples rights...
Yet you support the murderers regime.

A bit double standards if you ask me.

Hypersonic missiles, song by Sam Fender:


God bless America and all of its allies
I'm not the first to live with wool over my eyes
I am so blissfully unaware of everything
Kids in Gaza are bombed and I'm just out of it
The tensions of the world are rising higher
We're probably due another war with all this ire

Sam Fender yesterday:

😍😍😍 Saudis murderers 😍😍😍

They're also much less likely to be on twitter. So there's probably plenty of mags who are very concerned by this, but we just see the whoppers who are happy to go to the ground in the middle of the working day and those on twitter who like to wind people up. We'd have similar types, but hopefully a smaller percentage!

That's a fair point. You're also more likely to be quietly concerned, rather than storm down to the stadium to start aggro with fans celebrating

Said yesterday that, as Sunderland fans this means nowt to us, and I stand by that but...........

These people are basically the richest people in the world, definitely football wise. As a combined group they are worth an estimated £320 BILLION by all accounts. They could have bought any club in the world for what, to them is loose change.

Why buy those scruffy bastards?

No one knows really, we'll get more of an idea when we see how they run it.

I guess if they want exposure they'd want a Premier League side rather than a side abroad. How many of them were for sale? It might not be the case that money is no object, so the cost of an arsenal or man united might not have been worth it for them.

If they want to build a legacy they'd have to choose a club that wasn't already winning things, a bit like Man City when they were bought, so that any success reflects directly on them rather than just getting a continuation of what happened before. They'd want big crowds. In that sense the mags are a decent bet

Equally if they have lower ambitions and want a profit, they can get the mags for a decent price, improve things and the value will increase a lot more than a club that is already in the CL.

Maybe the Ruebens are involved because the lot of them see potential for lucrative developments. Buying the club, getting the council onside, in an area where values can increase significantly might have played into their thinking.

Too early to tell, but I can see a few possibilities for why they'd have gone there

Dear Tyne Tees.

Why when KLD, who attends most our games and takes his doggies to matches, took over SAFC did we get a minute on the sports section whilst the murdering, raping , torturing, hanging haters of the West took over the skunks you dedicated a full programme?

Because they are a bigger club than us.

Once you accept that, it makes it funnier that they can never beat us in derby matches.

I'd say that's a huge factor. The UAE did it in Manchester when they bought Man City.

I think some of these celebrity fans may regret these interviews when the inevitable backlash starts regarding human rights.

To be fair it's not just Newcastle fans and supporting celebs, there will be a lot of hypocrites outside of this situation too. Preaching this and that while enjoying a lavish lifestyle.

Who is he? Being older i haven't got a clue about new music. Almost everything since Pete Waterman was allowed in a recording studio is ear vomit to me.

I've only seen him on north east news programmes. One of these who the local journalists rave over but who the rest of the country have hardly heard of, like yourself.

Not very good
