We're going to go round in circles on this mind if the mags keep up the whataboutery. A football club should represent the community and the fans. The fans should have a voice when it comes to who is in charge. Disney is different, they've got some shares. Yes you could choose to boycott every company they have shares in but, given how many dodgy regimes have shares in various companies, you might be left with very few products and services to use.

That's not the same as this though. If the mags genuinely had a conscience they could say that they don't want this regime associated with their club and their city. It reflects on the supporters much more than whether they subscribe to Disney+. Effectively your club is now Saudi Arabia. Many of your fans say Ashley hated you, your new owners are hardline Islamics who no doubt take a very dim view of the common image of Newcastle. They basically think you're infidels but they'll use you for their own purposes. I don't really give a fuck if some shareholders from a streaming company I use think I'm an infidel. I wouldn't want it from the owners of my football club though. I wouldn't want them using my club's name to sportswash their image. If you're fine with it then crack on, loads of ours would be too, but stop the whataboutery, it does you no favours and drags the thread in circles

Tremendous post.
 

I enjoyed how Staveley said Newcastle could be the next PSG.

The current league champions in the one horse race French league are.......Lille SC.
 
Need to think of a new name for them:
- ISIS FC?
- Murdering bastards FC?
- Newhalhal United?

or how about just a blend of everything:

- Yemenense butchering, 9/11 enabling, terrorist funding, gay bashing, women beating, Holocaust denying, journalist murdering black and white *****?

Don't think we'll see gung ho aggressive spending like PSG or man city regardless of FFP. More a long term project like what they are saying. PIF are a business with responsibilities and objectives, not to throw money away.

The objective is PR. This will cost them.

Mike Ashley didn't make a lot of money out of NUFC and he ran it as tight as he could.

If you looking for an investment to make money, you wouldn't buy a football club like Newcastle.

She's got Huntingdon s disease tbh. Not sure attacking her looks is a great way to go.

Well I never knew that. However I’m a bit perplexed reading her take on it. Firstly my father is currently suffering and has been for the past 7 years, currently at the stage of being bed ridden and double incontinent. I haven’t had the test as have my family now so “que sera”.

Anyway I’m her article in the sun she says the disease is currently dormant and can be brought on by stress. Not true. Stress can adjust the course of the disease of course but it can’t “wake it up!”.

Secondly she says she was always brilliant with calculations and amazed her colleagues. She says it turns out that was the “illness” Again the fuck? Huntingdons is not autism and doesn’t turn you into f***ing Isaac Newton
