Not research, just a lot of years reading the Financial Times and similar so I know about these things.

It doesn’t affect me at all unless Newcastle want to pay Cheltenham £20m for one of our youth prospects!

I completely agree it is sportswashing and the footage of fans waving Saudi flags was unpleasant. As much as I hate the idea of the Saudi state being involved in football ownership, my point is that I see no justification for singling out Newcastle ahead of all the other investment from and trade with the Saudis.

The fact England will be playing a world cup in stadia built by bonded labour slaves, hundreds (probably thousands by now) of who died on construction sites is equally abhorrent.

Yeah. But we won't all be f***ing watching it.

So you've read the newspaper and you now "know about these things"
I've read Stephen Hawkings books, but it doesn't make me a f***ing scientist, does it.

Ffs man.

GO AWAY.

Ok. I’ve Said it often enough during the course of this. I wouldn’t set foot in the SOL for the duration of their tenure. My conscience wouldn’t let me.
So let’s get this straight. Fat mick was in your opinion detrimental to your club. So how do you feel about your new owners?
The PIF is administered by saudi government ministers. It’s chairman is bin salman himself.
You don’t agree with acts committed by the Saudis. They own your club. What will you do next? Will you applaud when their representatives show up at the match? Will you go? Will you say and do nothing and just look the other way.
If you’re going to do nothing then I’d respectfully request you don’t come onto a Sunderland message board wringing your hands and bemoaning your fate. By doing nothing you’re as bad as the jesmond jihadis with the tea towels and saudi flags.

I’m not sure I can to be honest PB 😂

This for me too.
 
I have no doubt in my mind this is a f***ing scam. I wouldnt be surprised if Ashley was behind it. Its definitely not going to be what these murdering sympathisers think it is. Honestly I've known many Mags for many years and they're are going on like absolute arseholes. Good lads with good jobs and families. It's f***ing disgusting but hilarious.

I hope they get dogs abuse at every game. They've lost the f***ing plot. Dear me. And don't get me started on the journalists. They really want to watch their backs once they go with the way the wind is blowing and criticise them. It'll happen when they don't spend what they're expecting. f***ing barmy

Please don’t attempt to make up or deflect your lack of moral fortitude by describing me as holier than thou. It’s demeaning and quite frankly juvenile. I’m anything but, as those who know me personally will confirm.
I didn’t at any point say the supporters of other clubs were whiter than white. You can’t deny your support actively campaigned for the Saudis to buy your club. It’s a matter of record. If the fans don’t want them they can campaign against them. But they haven’t. They have been welcomed with open arms. Celebrated like conquering heroes. So please don’t attempt to deny any responsibility for this.
I speak for myself only.
As I’ve said before, they didn’t buy SAFC. They bought your club. We aren’t in the premier league. And how different it would be I can’t say. I speak for myself.
the moral standing of Sunderland supporters isn’t in question here, you are trying to create a scenario that is purely hypothetica, like when your local paper used to replay derby games on footy manager.
Now, I’ve addressed your questions, I’ll repeat mine. As per my previous post to you.
What are you going to do?

Are the players going to take the knee tomorrow while the commentator pontificates how it's a protest against all discrimination while the fans dance around with tea towels on their heads waving Saudi flags. Wankers

Was saying the same the other day, how can they bang on about equal rights and discrimination whilst welcoming the saudis with open arms?

But saying I lack moral fortitude isn't demeaning, so you can pass judgement but when it's done to you, you don't like it. I'm using a hypothetical scenario as Sunderland fans are acting like butter wouldn't melt. If safc had been bought by Saudis and there was money to spend to get them back to promotion or winning things there would be jubilation and talks of 7 in a row no doubt. To say otherwise would be lies and frankly laughable. But because it's Newcastle suddenly everyone has the morals of mother Theresa.
