Given that they don't have a permanent CEO, Sporting Director, DoF or manager, I can't imagine they're about to spend £70m on anyone.

Makes me laugh when I read ‘Fonseca impressed Staveley with his ideas and football philosophy’

sorry like, and this isn’t being sexist, but what does she know about it!!! She’s never worked in football. The absolute face melt.

Benitez built good foundations and, with the squad he had, we did pretty well. If he'd been given the kind of freedom to build the squad he wanted (as he is at Everton) I think we'd have built on that solid foundation.

Bruce inherited a strong defence and slowly chipped away at that foundation, the squad that he has should be playing way better than it is. If he'd stayed, we'd have got progressively worse and likely gone down.

Ashley would have been fine if had a modicum of interest in more than survival.

Benitez has only signed Demarai Gray for £1.8m. His other signings have been free transfers, including Rondon and Townsend. Recognise those two?

However you just stick to the deluded narrative about Rafa and how he wasn’t backed but somehow is at Everton ...

I'd have been interested to have seen a survey of Newcastle fans to see if they'd prefer the Saudi bid, the Orleggi group, or some US Billionaire.

do you really need to ask that? rich, richer, and off the scale. did you not see the party in the street when this lot bought you? you think they would do that if it was a relative pauper bought you?

What aboutism probably isn't helpful but he has a point i think that many critics are really just upset at how rich NUFC is rather than upset aboit the human rights.

The thing that gets me is that some, though certainly not all, in the media are having a crack at fas (who don't have the power to approve or block takeovers) rather than having a crack at the actual people in power (govt, premier league). Punching down rather than up.

1) They started a grass routes campaign in favour of the takeover involving support of local mps, who raised the issues in parliament about how this was some conspiracy against NWCL ,she practically said “Yers divnt understand” in parliament.

2) They were actively against a pay day long company as their sponsor. Again a campaign amongst fans saying how it went against the traditions of their club. Yet they celebrate when it’s bought by a super rich tyrant. Someone who created a humanitarian crisis in Yemen by bombing civilians (they bombed a school bus FFS) bombed their water supply that has lead to this century’s biggest cholera epidemic. Had woman locked up and tortured for campaigning for the right to drive. Had many critics tortured, kidnapped or killed (most famously the journalist in the embassy). As well as a list as long as 50k of the Jee-Ordy nations brass necks, of other crimes against humanity.

Fuck the fan, self entitled wankers incapable of thinking outside of their tiny little worlds.

All very well but 97% of Mags fans voted in favour of this 18 months ago and have pushed and pushed so they wanted it more than anyone.

Well 97% of those that for whatever reason decide to spend their time responding to surveys 😉. As with most surveys I find it hard to believe the type of people who have the free time to respond are representative. Same with the kind of people who push agendas on Twitter rather than spending time on hobbies or family.

There are lots of fans and not all of them in the UK. They aren't a homogeneous clump who all think the same. Some don't care, some will turn their back on the club, some will keep supporting their team with an uneasy conscience, some will say "support the team not the regime".

But in the end what they think and feel doesn't change the fact that they don't have the power to approve or block the sale of their club. In my opinion responsibility should go up the chain not down. Its those with real power who should be questioned by media, more so than the fans. To be fair some have made this point (totally football show for example) but some have focussed on the fans, which imo is punching down.

Benitez has the freedom to spend on players within a budget at Everton. Benitez wasn't allowed to sign Townsend when we had the funds in the Championship, he wasn't allowed to sign Rondon for £16m because he was thought to be too old. Bruce signed Wilson for £20m. Guess how old they each were at the time?

Let a good manager build a team and you'll see greater rewards than haphazardly spending £40m on Joelinton with no idea who the manager is, let alone how to fit such an expensive player into that style.

But you stick to misrepresenting my words.

This is such an awful take.

People don't seem to be able to grasp, or don't seem willing to grasp that saudi Arabia is one of tbe most horrendous regimes on earth. And newcastle fans have pretty much en masse just buried their heads in the sand and come out with stock responses of "its just jealousy".

No its not. An English football club is now owned by a murderous, child killing state that also specialises in human dismemberment.

As for tbe fans they aggressively pushed for these scumbags to own their club and for tbe club to sell its soul. So they should probably own the fact that their club is now just a cover for the saudi state and the criticism that comes with it.

I think some do understand and will have varying reactions, as I noted in my response to exile.

The point is whatever they feel, the cant do much about it. The premier league's regulations, and the government (if allegations they leaned on the premier league) ought to be the ones being asked the questions in the media.
