Who's turned them down today?

Don’t think going down will have been on the agenda when she said that either. Getting relegated might knock that down by £100m or so, maybe more.

Will the headchoppers prop them up the way Ashley did? Haven’t done much so far to suggest they would.

Wood is often used as a prop or a support beam. They've already spent £25m on a massive plank.

Is it Riyadh or Jeddah they are going to?

Either way look at the air quality:

I think the trip to Saudi Arabia is just what the team need.
A good helping of Peter O'Toole and Omar Shariff on the Prince's luxury private jet, will let these under-achievers of ours know exactly who they are now representing.
The irrepressible Yasser Al Rumyyan might even take the likes of Shelvey and some of the boys, onto the best golf course in the World.
It is a wonderful country with lots of good people, who can well do without western inteference and terrorist sympathising journalists.
Eddie and the players will enjoy the countless pleasures and new found adulation even more, if we can go there after a win against Leeds.
HTL and Saudi Arabia"

What an absolute moron this bloke is. He's in his 60s & should know better than posting pro SA stuff & arranging Gloaters piss ups

Not unless you get to view a 31yo player on loan for 18 games and even if he’s confirmed to be complete dogshit still have to pay 40m for him and will get absolutely nothing back.

Newcastle to visit Saudi Arabia: Amnesty International UK have warned that Newcastle’s controversial trip to the Gulf state could become “a glorified PR exercise for Mohammed bin Salman’s government”.

“A training camp like this could easily turn into yet another PR opportunity for the Saudi authorities, who are clearly pursuing an aggressive policy of trying to sportswash their appalling human rights record,” said Amnesty UK CEO Sacha Deshmukh.

“Under Mohammed bin Salman, the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia has become increasingly repressive with government critics, women’s rights campaigners, Shia activists and human rights defenders harassed and jailed, often after blatantly unfair trials.

“The closed-door trial of Jamal Khashoggi’s alleged killers was little more than a whitewash and Saudi Arabia is implicated in an entire catalogue of crimes under international humanitarian law in the long-running conflict in Yemen.

“Newcastle players, the manager and all backroom staff ought to be prepared to speak out about human rights while in Saudi Arabia. Doing so will be a powerful sign of support for Saudi Arabia’s beleaguered human rights community.

“If the Newcastle training camp becomes a glorified PR exercise for Mohammed bin Salman’s government, it will prove once again that sportswashing human rights crimes is the name of the game here, not football.”
