Requote from another thread I posted earlier.

"It may help you to understand our viewpoint, if you firstly erase from your mind that we are jealous.
WE ARE NOT JEALOUS.
We have our own wealthy benefactor, who, whilst not as wealthy as yours, easily has the wherewithal to finance our passage from League 1 back to the top flight.

And I genuinely hope you do.

Once there, he is comfortably wealthy enough to sustain our club in those surroundings.

And I would be happy for your club to do that. I think it deserves a place higher up just for sheer size and loyal fans, like Newcastle.
Georgewhitt said:
At that point, we as supporters, will not have to scratch around for weasely examples of everyone else's links to murderous regimes to justify our ownership and management.

Maybe you never will but you never know what's around the corner in terms of takeovers. Just remember when you got in a saviour in Ellis Short. You were on a crest of a wave and even Newcastle fans were jealous.
But look what happened.
The man had fantastic intentions. Too good. Too ambitious too soon.

Let's hope Dreyfus doesn't go hunting big fish with a small boat mindset. (Sorry I couldn't help it).:D

It will make your life much less stressful to simply accept that the rest of the Football world is forever going to question your clubs morals and ethics, and treat with disdain any victories and trophies you may collect on your sordid journey".

I don't care.
I've stated time and again that my focus is on hopefully getting entertained and having a crack at the big boys now that we're a plastic club.

Of course I understand the outrage and I would hazard a guess that a small portion of those with that outrage will have no other agenda and will believe their morals are nailed tight shut.
But most people's morals are subjective, as I mentioned many times.

I also mentioned that, had this been the other way around and sunderland or another club outside of the elite got taken over, the majority of fans from those clubs would still be following their club and still be massively excited at the potential of it.

If you want to argue that from your own personal stance then fair enough. I am doing it from mine and my honest opinion.

I will maintain it comes down to a lot of jealousy among football fans.

If a bunch of murderers had bought SAFC, my season card would be cut into pieces and sent back to the club.


I have a moral compass, seems you don't.

PIF owns Newcastle. It is a sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia.

All of the people who sit on the board of PIF are Saudi government ministers. The head of PIF is the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia.

The obvious interpretation and the previous legal advice give to the PL was that the Saudi state and PIF are not separate entities. But the PL have now stated they have been given legal assurances that they are separate, without explaining what that means or showing the evidence. The whole thing stinks.

You comment a lot on here, but are you keeping up with what is going on?

So was Neville Chamberlain. That ended well.

I've never questioned this stuff. I actually took it that the owner of Newcastle was directly responsible for the atrocities. I thought he gave the orders based on what was said on here.
I am asking f this is the case.

You're 100% sure on this, are you?
I don't know. I'm asking questions.

The CIA are.

Muhammad Bin Salman in the head of PIF, which owns 80% of Newcastle. I'd suggest getting your head out of your arse long enough to pick up some basic facts.

There should be some push back on the premier league for allowing the lie that PIF is separate from SA to go unchallenged. Stavely is very comfortable perpetuating that lie.

Lampbard isn't coming to sign the likes of Jeff Hendricks.....excellent signal to the current plodders that they won't be needed next year.

It’s not that, it’s the fact he’s achieved very little and hasn’t been able to sort a good defence out. With Derby he signed a lot of players and went from 6th to 6th and didn’t do too much with Chelsea

Very long but comprehensive account of the take over and myths.

Its a great watch, it literally addresses 90% of the copy and paste flimsy defences weve seen on here and elsewhere. I also enjoyed the part about his own club Hull City and how horrendous their ownership has been, like many other clubs up and down the leagues.

So are the Premier League, they're not going to change that stance because it allows all that money pour into the league.

And there my friend is the nail in your clubs coffin lid.
You are an intelligent man, articulate, passionate, fervent, probably respected by those that know you.
To the outside world a good man, but beneath that exterior lies a morally bankrupt human being, prepared to sell his soul to be entertained and garner false victories, all in celebration of "having a crack at the big boys".
Good luck with that, and sleep well.
