The only reply I'm going to give is, take a step back and think what you're posting here. Stop hiding behind the "its their culture, we can't comprehend it" and the those who live in glass houses routine.
Your club is a vehicle for these people in fact, they don't consider it your club at all, it is a PR exercise for some of the most evil fuckers we've seen for a century who know they can do what they want. Now, if you want to compartmentalise this and utilise some GCSE Sociology to claim its the natural human pysche merely because the club they have devoured is your own then crack-on but don't be coming on here claiming we are employing subjective morality when children are being massacred and we are disgusted these c unts are allowed to waltz into our national sport like missionaries.

So to recap: Johnson goes begging in Saudi Arabia, shows his support for liberal democracy is utterly superficial, they execute three people while he's there & he comes home with fuck all.

Thanks for all the bombs and planes and artillery and bullets Bozza. And thanks for telling the PL to make sure we can buy the mags. But we like Putin more than you, so off you fuck home. He’s a fucken embarrassment.

At the beginning of the sale, there will have been mags unaware of the atrocities in Yemen, committed by the Saudi leadership. But since then and more so now, there has been plenty of news and information on social media that has highlighted the unjust killings in Yemen and human rights issues of Saudi, yet we don't see them turning against their new owners. There is no excuse of ignorance for any of them. I have yet to see any mag fan speak out truly against their new ownership and condemn their new owners. I have yet to see a mag fan disown their club, because they value human life more than football.
Instead they defend their new owners, happy with the blood money in exchange for the morality and soul of their club. Children and innocents being killed or maimed in Yemen by an autocratic ruler, is no different to children and innocents being killed or maimed in Ukraine by an autocratic ruler.
Hypocrisy cannot be hidden, their lack of morality cannot be swept under the carpet, it is there for us all to see, as they wave Saudi flags and wear tea towels on their heads. And brag 'Richest club in the world', rich from blood money and the suffering and exploitation of others.

I used to enjoy friendly banter and piss taking with mags, but for me that has now stopped. I never mention football now to some mags I know. I cannot have friendly banter with fans who turn a blind eye to the killing of children, killings caused by their new owners with their links to the atrocities in Yemen. NUFC should be dead to them under such ownership, as would SAFC be dead to me, if the Saudis had bought us.

I could never support our club if they became complicit to war crimes and human rights abuse. I could never be complicit in a sportswashed way, to what barbarity the Saudi owners and regime are doing in Yemen, as stated below...

on Yemeni fishing boats that have killed dozens and appeared to be deliberate attacks on civilians and civilian objects in violation of the laws of war. At time of writing, according to the Yemen Data Project, the Saudi-led coalition has conducted more than 20,100 airstrikes on Yemen since the war began, an average of 12 attacks a day. The coalition has bombed hospitals, school buses, markets, mosques, farms, bridges, factories, and detention centers.'

If any mag felt as strongly as I do about this takeover, I would welcome them with open arms, because firstly we are humans, who value morality and human life, above that of football and being used as a PR exercise by a murdering regime.

Technically speaking he is correct BUT he omits his only moral contribution from the conversation. It's just another example of cognitive dissonance tbh.

One of, if not the best posts I’ve read since these threads started. It sums it up perfectly. It really is a choice, very simple to make.
Is your entertainment, gratification, and bragging rights more important than a single human life? Seems tens of thousands of them
think they are.

To be fair to the mags, there are a few prepared to stand up and fight against the Saudis, not many mind.

Any mag raising awareness about Saudi will be set upon at games by other fans. They genuinely don't care less. I'm travelling around Newcastle every day at work and not one person has mentioned anything about the negative side of the owners.

It’s a very well written post by tunstall and I agree with everything said there. It really is a simple choice of morality regardless of what colour strip your team wears.

I honestly finding it shocking and disgraceful that the takeover was allowed to happen. It's unacceptable that this regime was given the go ahead, despite the links to war crimes. The silence of condemnation is deafening from the mags, mag pundits, the Premier League authority, the government and such. But not as deafening as the silence of playful laughter from all the slain children, murdered by the Saudi regime.

I welcome them and any other Newcastle support who have the morality to voice out opposition to their owners and the crimes committed by them. I just with there was more willing to take a moral stand and show this takeover for what it really is, which is a PR exercise, used to sportswash their wrongdoings away.

Isn’t it really sweet how he says NUFC we’re taken over by Amanda Stavely and Co. And co as in meaning you know those others we won’t mention as we don’t really want to talk about human rights atrocities as we are all nicely rowing in the same direction so why spoil it bringing up co as being the murderers from Saudi.

I think it’s fair to say that the British government are in bed with the Saudis therefore nothing will happen to change what’s already been done.
