I've worked in Saudi, and if you were caught with a beer in your hand you'd be sent straight to jail.

I reckon if you walked around the back of the gallowgate end with a pride flag or some sort of banner criticising the Saudi regime on Sunday afternoon you’d be verbally and possibly physically abused

I believe a few owners own more than one club. I think it depends how the ownership is sturctured. Let's face it there's always ways around it.

It's alarming! I know the Abu Dhabi Group has done the same but it was with smaller clubs in America and Australia. But for PIF to buy Newcastle and Inter Milan ( I think they want Marseille too) is sportswashing on a large scale. And that's before we get into the deals with F1, WWE, Boxing and UFC.

A similar piece from Sam Cunningham in iNews. Saying that the other Prem owners are morally no better than the Saudis.
Utterly shameful the way they’re carrying out the sports washing for MBS.

f***ing hope that is true as it would prove they're not going to be throwing the money around.
I also think inter would become their main project as that's the one they could win the champs league with. Would take them 5 years for Newcastle just to qualify.

No mention of flags criticising the Saudis - just ones 'raising awareness of victims'.
May be indicative of the mindset some Newcastle fans have got - "not happy about the owners, but not going to protest against them. Best thing we can do is highlight the victims"?
I guess they might also worry that they come over as spoilt brats if, having finally got rid of Ashley, they're now turning on another owner?
If the sensible ones agree that their new owners are pretty nasty pieces of work - and that's not to say other clubs aren't in the same boat - they'll have to decide whether this softly softly type of protest is enough for them morally.

It would certainly put the claim that PIF and KSA are separate to the test. If they ban them, then that's an even bigger issue, isn't it?

Gonna kill you all when the club relocates out of town then and the Reubans expand their commercial property empire on the old centre spot.

Unfortunately I think Al Qaeda will win this one, they're buzzing at the minute and feels like Spurs have stuttered after a gold start.

Without a shadow of a doubt. Just look at Twitter, they’re whipping themselves up into a frenzy.

Aye, it matters. It's 9 years old and smaller than the thread we're currently posting in.Does it matter? It’s f***ing 700 pages long about how much we don’t matter.
And, apparently, you have other forums with more big arse Sunderland threads?
You f***ing barmy bastards
To claim either side don't care about the other is f***ing lunacy.

The Prem has far more exposure than Serie A now. Newcastle will be their primary focus in their sports washing efforts.they wont…
