You lot really need to have a look at how you are going on.

You're laying into Newcastle fans for being happy that there's been a change of ownership. You're delusional if you think people were celebrating outside of the ground anything other than Ashley going. In fact right now, until a player is bought, the only person that's benefitted from the change is Ashley, the man who didn't give two fucks where the money comes from or any of the shit that goes with it. Why haven't you had a go at him rather than the fans?

Why haven't the other clubs had a go at him for that? The unpalatable truth is they don't care about the human rights abuse in Saudi, they're just bothered about how the Saudi money will affect their balance sheet. You're just bothered about it because your rivals will probably start winning all sorts of things in time. I bet there isn't hundreds of pages of comments about this takeover on other club boards. Not to the extent that you have reacted.

I don't blame you for being pissed off about the situation. I've been pissed off for years that we were stuck with someone who had no interest in the club. He's abused the fan/club relationship for his own benefit for years. You're going to find yourselves looking on as Newcastle become a real player in the league. It will all be down to the money the Saudis hoy at it. It's tainted but what do you expect the fans to do?

You probably won't agree but perhaps the best thing that could happen is Newcastle start winning the league year after year. Perhaps then the clique of clubs that were ready to fuck off to a super league might start campaigning for a proper spending limit that all clubs in the league could match. Then perhaps the league would become a proper competition again. They were quite content to divvy up the trophies between themselves for the past 20 years but now there's a chance they could start to miss out they're bothered. They're not bothered about this deal tainting the league. They know their own supporters aren't going to stop going to games or pack in Sky.

Am I personally bothered about human rights in Saudi. No I'm not. If I was sufficiently bothered about it then I think I may have taken the opportunity to make a protest before they came in to buy any club. If you had protested then good on you, but if you haven't but are now making a big issue of it then I don't think you are bothered about it either, you're just bothered about the potential difference between where the clubs will be in a few years.

I quite liked Gary Neville's opinion on the takeover. Perhaps by them coming into the spotlight they might be persuaded to make an effort to modernise. Will they? I doubt it. If they did would you accept it's been a good move? No you wouldn't because the overriding problem with this takeover is not about human rights but how it impacts other clubs.

I think there a few countries and circumstances that threaten those things a lot more. Putin and his manipulation of gas, Xi and his designs on Taiwan, the North Korean nut job, the impact of the internet on politics, right wing parties gerrymandering and disenfranchising voters. Even all them pale into insignificance when viewed against climate change. There's going to be some serious shit for future generations to contend with in the near future that will be a lot more bothersome than Newcastle buying the league.

It took Christianlity 500 years to get from the end of the medeval period to the relatively benign state it is in now. Think they've got a massive job on their hands trying to persuade the Saudis like.

They will do fuck all anyway marra.
It was a facetious post.
They don't give a fuck about Saudi human rights as long as the evil MSB is spending money on new players.
 
had a thought this morning (anar) and forgive me if someone else has already said this, but what if the saudi's were intent in changing the mags and not, the mags thinking the saudi's can / will change?

ie, no drinking in the ground, shearer's bar etc ec

:lol:

The change has certainly all been one way so far.

2 years ago I wasn't aware of many mags fans abusing widows, waving Saudi flags, wearing MbS face masks, signing petitions glorifying Bin Salman, claiming there's a modernisation programme in Saudi, and now demanding that the stadium is renamed the ISIS Arena.

They haven't even won a game or appointed a manager yet - you can only imagine what they'll be like if they get a few years of winning football matches.

One daft twat on here was denouncing the west ffs. Ok it was in a whataboutery sort of way but fuck me, they couldn’t have picked more gullible desperate morons to do their bidding if they searched the observable universe.

The f***ing hypocrites.

Hell on when MA renamed it.

Following on from their wrists being slapped about Arab dress (trust me the fact they've said the murdering bastards weren't insulted is pure bullshit otherwise they wouldn't ask them to refrain) this is systematical sportswashing at its finest. The woman, gays and alcohol will be gone within 2 years. f***ing disgusting. The twats have now infiltrated our game. Watch how it snowballs.
