Now Under Flogging Caliphate

 

[Market Where?]

Here we are, 10 days on, and the are no relevant filings at Companies House for either Newcastle United Limited or Saint James Holdings Limited. The only director disclosed for Newcastle is Charnley.

Is that unusual in your experience?

As a neutral the backlash about human rights just seems a bit off and hypocritical to me. People seem to forget that the Saudi PIF have been pumping cash into Man U and have sizeable stakes in Facebook and Uber.

Do I think half of London, developments in other cities, and chunks of our strategic infrastructure should be owned by the Saudis and other murderous regimes? No. But it is and as long as our country is fine with that, and people are happy to sell weapons to the Saudis etc to use in Yemen etc then I see no justification for making an exception of Newcastle United.

I gather there is a BAE Systems weapons factory just off the A1M at Washington. I assume those on here complaining about the Newcastle takeover are up there protesting against BAE making weapons for the Saudis and other similar countries?

Erm, no. They've been buying shares in publicly traded companies from the existing shareholders. The only shareholders to put money in are the original subscribers and those who buy new shares in a rights issue.

But who would do that? You only wanted Ashley out. Support the team not the regime etc.
Do you think the poster is a good or bad thing?

I’ve no strong feelings either way, I support the right to protest. As I support those who would disagree and turn it over. You’re making the same mistake as most on here do, we don’t think homogenously.

After seeing Sky promote equality over the last year or so, it must be incredibly embarrassing for them to have to promote a football match that includes a team who's owners are everything they claim to be against.

Money Trumps embarrassment every time with them mate.

That’s a difficult one to do at the Chop Chop Arena. You would have to check all the fridges, freezers and cupboards.

Ah but they can fetch spares.

It's been quicker for all of out last three ownership changes. Although it speaks more of administrative incompetence than anything else.

Gan on fat mick la.

8 million for Bruce, 30 million for advertising rights and around a million for Charnleys pay off!

 

[ReidysLeftLug]

I’ve just sent this.
During your next edition of match of the day or indeed any of your footballing broadcasts would you kindly avoid any reference to the recent takeover of NUFC by the PIF of Saudi Arabia as being in any way shape or form as being advantageous to the north east of England as a region.
I live in the region and regard the takeover by one of the most morally reprehensible regimes on the planet, and their attempt at sportswashing absolutely revolting. The negative reaction this will eventually draw from the rest of the world is deeply damaging for the entire region outside of Newcastle city centre.
Thank you

For the lazy can you include the email address for those who hold similar views?

So you support violence?

 

[Dilligaf60]

I’ve sent me email into editor or motd telling him that on any voxpops shown tonight there must be no reference to their takeover being good for the region
The region includes Sunderland and is not good for Sunderland to be dragged into geordie hypocrisy

If half the people looking at this thread did the same they might, just might start paying attention. And not just match of the day. The BBC as a whole.

Love it mate

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Another one out the sewer.

It’s a Saturday night man and you’re spending your time on here trying to justify it.

He's a Cheltenham fan. First appeared when we played them.

Is charnley still there?

So you support vandalism of something trying to raise awareness of a journalist being murdered on the orders of the head of state?
100k plus begging the Saudis to take over, social media campaigns, lobbying MPs etc. can you point out any significant counter protests by groups of your supporters?

Just switched on Sky Sports and the mag love-in has already started!

Love it mate

Nice to know. If the driver of the van comes to harm I hope your views are aired to the appropriate authorities.

 

[Georgewhitt]

A lot of casual racism here.

I'm still waiting for an answer.
Using the racism word alongside one of my posts is pretty serious in my book.
Explain your reasoning if you don't mind.
