Whole programme specials by BBC and ITV local news were disgusting. Then again they were the ones who actually bragged that the first UK covid case was from our region. Still remember that and thinking WTF.
forever more. they'll never be allowed to forget how they spread their cheeks for these despots.

That's what I mentioned the other day. Sportswashing when not working is a waste of money and rich as they are they never ever like wasting a bean.
Sale was done so they'd never force a sale on them. Not now Boris and Masters have spent the backhanders

This is just going to snowball imho I can see it gaining more news more scrutiny more and more people questioning it. This will go on for a lot of time now. Football needs reset it's totally got out of control

Definitely, they won't even be owners by the end of this season. Mark my words.

Nowt wrong with Northern League. I've seen some cracking games at that level!
I cant see Newcastle facing sanctions or anything like that. Its too late for all that.
But if the UK media start on them, the Saudis may lot like the pressure. If the likes of Panorama started a documentary on them, and if media attention turned... I could see the Saudis wanting out. But that may take a very long time.

They'll be hoping season hurries up and finishes so it can be forgot about. Dont think it will be though.
Problem is its took a disgusting act by Russia to get the media complaining, terrible and they should all be ashamed.
Crazy thing is, this sportswashing exercise has backfired as their disgusting human rights has never been more exposed. Its failed....except for the stinkers up the road.
did she really say that fans cant choose who the owners are? after the lengths they went to to get them to buy them, and she was the number 1 cheerleader. complete hypocrite.

Yip. She is an absolute disgrace
Since the takeover, the negative publicity for Saudi and the constant highlighting of their atrocities has been quite amazing. The Saudis may be happy to sell up and give the impression that they’re happy to follow our rules, as it’s obviously failing as a Sportswashing exercise.

Now there is an outrage of a War on our doorstep, they just want to be seen as not supporting any form of oppression. It is all so predictable of the UK press

Embarrassing that it’s took Russia bombing the shit out of Ukraine for the media and politicians to question the Saudis takeover. Pure populism, not a word said for the last few years other than us lot and Oliver Holt/Nick Harris.

Amazing how many pundits etc have popped out of the arsehole of PIF and are suddenly taking the moral high ground. It will be interesting to see how this materialises over summer given the stench is now being smelt by all and sundry. Any player who now goes to the unwashed is well and truly in the spotlight, showing that they will be complicit in all that the KSA does and have the morals of a piece dung.
I've felt like this about Chelsea and Man City for years. Their trophies aren't real trophies as far as I'm concerned, they don't count. It's not bitterness or jealousy - it never has been. They've bought those trophies with dirty/blood money and have been allowed to get away with it.
