I've got to admit you talk a lot of sense. From what I've seen you comment on before, but a lot were giving Jones credit for things when things were going tits up.

Comparing a temporary employee who became reviled by our fan base with their owners -hardly bares comparison….but that’s the Maggots for you
Squad is basically really poor other than 2 or 3 players and those players don't affect the game enough
Jones initially made a huge impact when he arrived. He gave us a shape and it happened to tie in with Willocks wtf form. It gave him some in the bank for when things went shit.
He's obviously a decent coach as he's been to major tournaments with Belgium and England.
He sounded totally lost in hes interview after Chelsea mind. Was expecting him to have a bit about him. You need a couple midfielders and defenders and you should be ok. Wilsons good bit hes one of them strikers that literally just scores goals. If your struggling it's like playing with 10 men

Good post, but not sure about the bit in bold. If they'd bought a similar club like Villa or West Ham, their fans would have held their noses and if over time the owners' money bought an exciting team and a couple of trophies, they'd get the "Saudi-backed champions" sportswashing goodwill that Man City and PSG have generated.
Having the Clampetts up the road dressing up as Yasser Arafat, waving Saudi flags and singing along to Arabic songs that could mean anything draws derision, keeps the focus on the ownership rather than the football and is probably not the image that the Saudis are trying to buy.
I think it is backfiring spectacularly so far. Like watching footage if a disaster in slow motion.

Very amusing to see some of you getting your knickers in a right twist about the Spanish City being included in the flag.
Pretty much all mosques with domes have a crescent on top of the dome.
And for the avoidance of any doubt building with this are not mosques.

From what I saw, Jones was the new, if we win it’s down to him, if we lose it’s down to Bruce.
Similar to the if we win it’s down to Benitez, if we lose it’s down to Ashley.

You do seem hard to beat mind. Good teams will beat you, but the likes of Norwich, Burnley, I can't see them scoring many against you. It means you're always in a game, and have saint-maximin and Wilson who are capable of getting you the three points. I think you'll stay up, there's enough poor sides who will barely win a game. It'll be close like, but I think you've got enough
Eeeh it was you who cowardly posted the post for all to see on Twitter, wasn't it.
You cheeky monkey.
Almost midnight on a Sunday and here you are.
And by the way, the next time you refer to she, as in me, and after trawling me posts, at least have the courage of your convictions to tag me.
I saw your cowardice

Hard to beat? They’ve lost 6 out of 10 and got a lucky a draw at Palace.

I've never made a twitter post in my life. There are no posting time restrictions on here, afaik. Are you upset that I took the bother to do a simple check before I posted about your faux outrage? I would have looked a right idiot if I accused you of not being interested in Saudi human rights only for you to provide a history of bringing it up long before it became a hot topic on the SMB.

You know besides the political and monarchy side of it, I once met a Saudi Arabian man and actually when it comes to the ordinary people, they're actually really friendly, chilled and relax. They aren't the religious zealots that their laws would reflect.
He has to wear the Arab gear when he's at home, but just dresses like everyone else in jeans when he's overseas.

And those 2 or 3 are massively overrated. St Maximan is a one trick pony, he has his moments but is a big fish in a small pond.
Wilson is nowhere near as good as they think either. He'd be on the bench at a top half team.
But he stands out in a squad that is mostly championship material to anyone who doesn't own a black and white shirt.
Lascelles, Shelvey and Darlow were all being touted for England.. but only by the mags and media. They're all still there at a team 6pts adrift after 10 games. Bruce's fault no doubt
It's what Newcastle/Ashley did really well. They hype up mediocre players and sell them on for more than they deserve. Mitrovic, Krul, Dyer Carroll, Ba, Cisse... all "world class" at Newcastle... then what?
