Your owner was a firm friend of Epstein and presides over a regime that allows old men to force little girls to marry them. Your fans celebrated his arrival at your club by dressing up as him and holding up pictures of him, or attaching flags of said regime to your twitter profiles. That's before we get onto George Ormond. Jog on.
Hes not a flat earther is he? Hold on of course he f***ing isI'll pass mate seen your posts on the flat earth thread
Yeah im pretty sure our twitter lot told him to fuck off. We certainly didn't compare him to princess Di
Straight to the the point well said
That shit will probably get off the ground with the wooden heeds up the road but it won’t make the runway anywhere else. If the Saudis can’t see that then they aren’t as smart as they think they are and are simply preaching at the converted. We all know their fans are balls deep. They are only a small percentage of fans and the public in general who are alert to this. That’s where their problems lie. These are the people they need to convince and they haven’t got a cat in hells chance. The best case scenario for them is it goes away and people lose interest. They’ve got large sections of the media helping with this, but in spite of all that it won’t go away. If they want to own a business outright in this country, especially a high profile one, one that has so much emotional attachment, they better get used to the shit coming their way. What they forgot or in their arrogance ignored is that as members of the public there’s little we can do about the decisions made by governments as to whom they do business with. This is different, they have presented every protest group, and indeed every member of the public with a once in a lifetime opportunity to actually kick back at a murderous despotic regime. I hope its taken advantage of.
That’s exactly what they are afraid of.
The journalist was only publishing a Poocastle fan's letter. It was a Poocastle fan that said she looked like a lion's mott.

Under orders from our PM. They really are dancing with the devil.I think people are also forgetting the PL had allowed the takeover to go through and are comfortable that PIF and the state are entirely different entities
The fans aren't sports washing.
The Saudis are sportswashing. The fans (not all) who shout down arguments about the regime with "what about uber, you're just as bad" are doing the exact same job that the Saudi state created their twitter troll farm for. To shout down, dilute and disrupt discussion or criticism. The ones with Saudi flags in avatars, or who bring Saudi flags to games, wear Saudi dress etc are helping to legitimise them, it's showing that they (and by extension their actions) are tolerated in a liberal city. If you're a fan who just watches their club, doesn't stick up for or promote the Saudi regime, and doesn't get involved in whataboutery then I've got no axe to grind (pardon the choice of phrase). If people do want to discuss or protest about the Saudis blatantly buying a football club to help sportswash their image then it shouldn't be derailed by legions of Newcastle supporters. I'm not attacking normal mags who probably dislike the Saudi regime, aren't on social media defending it but who are still going to go and watch their club, I'd do the same. I wouldn't want the Saudi regime owning safc but I'd be fucked if I was going to let them take my club from me.
Of course the fans are sportswashing. You've done nothing but defend the Saudi regime with a bunch of daft blather. You're just their little bitches.
I would hazrd a guess that most people are 100% against any of this. Unfortunately there's always some from all walks of life.
Money talks and morals are definitely subjective.
