If Newcastle fans are just going to games as this guy claims then your criticism does make ‘whataboutery’ valid. The whole country pretty much endorses everything Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar do.

Newcastle fans waving Saudi flags and being demonstrably pro-Saudi regime is despicable. But tacit endorsement of watching the team is no worse than all the other ‘what about’ things most of us tacitly endorse with our spending decisions.

Nah they're now batting away any criticism of the Saudi regime, it's all "but Disney" and "but Uber". Mow there are loads of replies from supporters saying it's a disgrace the club is endorsing the rainbow laces, which it is hypocritical in a way, but not in the sense the homophobes are saying.

If that’s your definition of an endorsement, fair enough. As long as you’d walk away in similar circumstances then yes, you can claim the moral high ground over me.

Some of us nivver went to a game under PdC. That’s about as nasty as we can muster I’m afraid. No one was more surprised than our fan base when he washed up here mind and I don’t remember a petition being involved to get him here or Wearside MPs pushing for his appointment either.
Though I’d seen ES paying very strict attention to a Football Focus feature on him in the Loftus Rd corporate area a week or two before he was appointed. if I hadn’t thought the idea so fuckin stupid I wadve hoyed a few quid on him.

I know one or two Sunderland fans who refused to go and took a stand, and I know a few Newcastle fans who are walking away. It’s a tough decision, I’ve been to 90 grounds watching NUFC, many during the shittest of times in the 80s no way I’m calling a halt to that because the owners are c*nts. In all honesty I’ve more contempt for the Reuben Brothers than the Saudi lads. 2nd biggest donors to the Tory Party in the country and big mates with clown in chief.

Did you turn to stand and rapturously applaud Yasir Al-Rumayyan, one of MBS's right hand men, like some sort of saviour at the Tottenham game? The rest of the ground did.

Was still making my way up the internal stairs as late from pub as usual. Can’t say if I would have applauded or not

Murdering scum apologist in that case. Now kindly don't offer any more of your frankly tainted opinions on anything more politically discussion-worthy as your views are worthless. As are you actually.

Easy to shoot that down.

Imagine you found out Jimmy Saville had 0.05% of the shares in a huge multinational company. For example Netflix.

That's very different to him spending the same money to buy your local pub in an attempt to brush up his image and portray himself as a canny chap, who just wants to invest in the community.

That's comparable in every way to the Newcastle takeover.

You are replying to a poster who has spent the entire thread saying very, very little other than 'what about Disney'.

Bit wish washy that like. Walk away and start following Blyth or Gateshead or Whitley Bay or whoever. Think of the money you’ll save. You can always gan back once the Saudis have fucked off……I mean that 250,000 seater stadium will still need filling once you’re back to being a yo-yo club and those CL titles are fading from memory.
