ALL NUFC and Sportwashing stuff in here. (Threads will be merged)

[Fresno Bob]

all Newcastle fans decided to give up their support. Totally blank the club.
Do you think the club would have any fans?

Is this some sort of riddle? You answered your own question.

You’re nee Eric Cantona like

 

[Luna17]

Would be another nail in the coffin of them completely losing their club!

I hope that does happen to be honest, means we'd have the pick of the young talent in the area.

No no no no man, are you daft. They've GOT THEIR CLUB BACK !

Will NUFC move their training operation to London in a bid to acquire top players and just play games at St James park.

There is no reason to operate out of the north east except for home games once a fortnight.

That wud be absolutely f***ing hilarious

Maybe read it a bit more carefully.

If you had no fans would you have no fans?

My take is that Newcastle fans range from those who will not go back, those who know its pretty shameful to have murderers owning the club but want the world to shut up and so they can forget about the shame and those who don't give a flying fuck and have no moral compass. My guess is that you and the others posting on here are in the middle - you know its wrong to support such awful people but you want the furore to die down so you can enjoy what their wealth brings. However, you are so desperate for this to go away that your arguments as to why its OK to ignore the moral questions are getting more and more obscure.

I think the main shock is how few Newcastle fans are actually bothered about what utter evil crimes your new owner has on his hands. I have said before but these lot have the wealth to buy any club but I strongly feel that the fans of Everton, Man Utd or Arsenal simply wouldn't accept such ownership. The fact that your fans celebrate with such joy is to your eternal shame. And, as far as I can see, the general defence/excuse is that 'well Abramovich isn't a very nice chap'. Its quite shocking that only a few years ago the whole world was in shock at the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and now the man who ordered that murder owns your club. But, of course, you've got your club back.

You spelt championship wrong mate

 

[bedlington mackem]

Why's she gone to the match dressed as Wolfie Smith?

Amazing atmosphere only till Spurs scored …..then back to normal and chants of “we want Brucie out”

quick scan of the English language Saudi papers and very little mention of this tbh, certainly no pics of swivel eyed loons in fancy dress chucking beer and defaming the flag

I wonder why ?

 

[edna]

Obviously you feel strongly about it and fair enough.

Here's a question for you. Answer it as honestly as you can.
Let's say all Newcastle fans decided to give up their support. Totally blank the club.
Do you think the club would have any fans?

Fuck you on about?

 

[Leonard osbourne]

I've always thought you were one of the more reasonable mag posters on here so since no other has answered my question, I am hoping you will.

What do your lot mean when you say "we've got wor clurb back"?

In the 70s you were demonstrating to get Westwood out.
In the 80s it was McKeag
Even in the 90s there were big protests against Hall/Fletcher over the bonds/platinum club and 3/4 years later hell on with Doug n Fred.
The in.late nowties in came FMA.

You have a history of being revolting tbf

was going to say being in revolt, but cudn't pass up chance of a cheap shot !

Haha, like the little dig....

Not sure what it means, as it's never belonged to the fans....we have no say in how the club is ran, but do show our digust if it's not being ran properly....

Hopefully the new owners will have more communication with the supporters, but at the end of the day we still have no say....

Never been a big protester myself, I don't see the point, but fair play to those that do, that's their perogotive....

 

[TexasMackem]

The Saudi's own the club. If they wanted Bruce to stay, he'd still be there.

Then why wait nearly two weeks to give him the bullet? I think they'd have given him a chance but were probably overwhelmed by the strength of feeling from the hordes at the weekend. Also, he looks totally knackered and his relationship with the press was in a tailspin. It was untenable.

BTW it's another indication that these owners might not be what they're made out to be, in my opinion.

 

[riffraff]

He was manager for 7-8 games, he was manager when they were relegated so he relegated them along with was it mclaren?

So Stokoe was even more responsible for us going into the third division for the first time than Rafa was the mags gannin do on?

Here's a question for you. Answer it as honestly as you can.

Do you think the club would have any fans?

Honest answer: Eh?

No one needs to stop supporting their club. You can do that whilst protesting against the owners. NUFC have done more to prove that than anyone in recent years.

 

[Redandwhitedust]

Luke Edwards just said The Saudis wanted to keep Bruce on

Clearly letting Horror fyass do the running of the club

Haven't heard that, but is it really a shock if that's the case?

The Saudis PiF has never invested in football before. They'll have no clue, they'll just look at figures. When someone says "we want to fire this person" followed by "it's going to cost us another 2.6% on top of what we just paid for the club, + whatever it takes to get the new man in" you can probably see why they might not be keen.

But that's why they have Amanda. She will have sold herself as the bridge between Saudi money and football/local knowledge and investment. She's presumably also sold Newcastle as a sound investment with a return on their money and some sportswashing along the way.

She will get her way a fair bit, but thats because she is ultimately replaceable. They can buy out her share in a jiffy if things aren't going good, and she will sell in a flash

 

[michelangelo]

Few people calling out the mags for making Bruce’s life a living hell and hailing Rafa as a hero despite them obtaining the same amount of points within 2 seasons

If you look at the stats & detail though its very different. Benitez was far more organised & the dull football was really pragmatism linked to having a Championship squad. Bruce is all over the place & has ASM, Wilson & Willock.
Correct that end result was same but how they both got there was very different.

To deflect from the fact they're a murderous regime?

 

[Nukehasslefan]

If you had no fans would you have no fans?

Like I said, read it more carefully.

My take is that Newcastle fans range from those who will not go back, those who know its pretty shameful to have murderers owning the club but want the world to shut up and so they can forget about the shame and those who don't give a flying fuck and have no moral compass.

Yeah, I'd say that applies to all fans of all clubs and all sports all over the world.

My guess is that you and the others posting on here are in the middle - you know its wrong to support such awful people but you want the furore to die down so you can enjoy what their wealth brings.

I am a fan and supporter of Newcastle UNited. I have absolutely no guilt for being a fan of Newcastle United.

However, you are so desperate for this to go away that your arguments as to why its OK to ignore the moral questions are getting more and more obscure.

You can spout it from supper to breakfast time, then a larger portion for lunch and even tea, if you want to, 24/7, 52 weeks of the year if you want.
I'm still going to be a Newcastle United fan as long as the club is called Newcastle United.

I think the main shock is how few Newcastle fans are actually bothered about what utter evil crimes your new owner has on his hands. I have said before but these lot have the wealth to buy any club but I strongly feel that the fans of Everton, Man Utd or Arsenal simply wouldn't accept such ownership.

I'm sure you don't believe a word of that. I'm sure many would disagree with you.
Your own clubs' fans by majority would accept it. They may not all like it but they wouldn't abandon the club, in my absolute honest opinion.

The fact that your fans celebrate with such joy is to your eternal shame.

No it's not.

And, as far as I can see, the general defence/excuse is that 'well Abramovich isn't a very nice chap'.

There's lots of people that aren't very nice. Lots of nasty people. That's no defence. It doesn't need any defence because people aren't condoning anything outside of football, in the main.

Its quite shocking that only a few years ago the whole world was in shock at the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and now the man who ordered that murder owns your club. But, of course, you've got your club back.

I won't bother getting into arguments about this because it'll just turn nasty.

Honest answer: Eh?

No one needs to stop supporting their club. You can do that whilst protesting against the owners. NUFC have done more to prove that than anyone in recent years.

That wasn't the question.

I’ve tried but I feel myself falling into another dimension……..

Read it carefully and see.

Dubious choice of words what with their owners track record.

SEB?

Newcastle United is kindly asking supporters to refrain from wearing traditional Arabic clothing or Middle East-inspired head coverings at matches if they would not ordinarily wear such attire.

Its not too long ago that the fans of Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea stopped the advent of the European Super League. They could have gained from it but they knew instinctively that it was wrong. We now have new owners of a Premier League who's crimes outweigh any other owner by miles and miles. The outrage at the killing of Khashoggi was worldwide and was no virtue signalling and the man who ordered this murder now owns you club. How any right thinking person can be comfortable with this is beyond me.

You are clearly a good poster but what appear to be increasingly desperate attempts to justify your acceptance of these new owners (and bizarrely the acceptance by a Newcastle MP who has protested in Parliament about the same people's abject human rights record) does you no credit at all. Football is finally showing some morals whether its the fans bringing down of the European Super League, the drowning out of any boos for taking the knee by fans applause or the approach of the England football team and Marcus Rashford. You fans open armed welcome of murderers puts you in stark contrast and the shame will not be forgotten.

And as a final point you say you can show disgust if the club is badly run but you don't see the need to show disgust if your owners are such brazen murders. How on earth does that work.
