Here is "Professional Geordie" - nothing better to do on your Saturday than post on your rivals site?
Well put! But all whataboutery from them is like that.

They’ve done no more than any other owner they sound no different to Donald Methven when they came here
They’ve ‘lifted place’ as they are backed massive by the Saudi state and you have lots of money
And be honest you don’t care about what they are that is evident

I Havnt said they’re different to other owners, I said they’ve come in and give the place a massive lift. Which they have.
Yeah, new owners do that, as did Donald and Methven. The lift is almost certainly heightened by the untold fortunes we have and yes, I don’t hugely care.
No arguments from me here.

@mad cyril thought this clown was one of the better mag posters on here, showing himself right up recently, divi.

I dont. If I hugely cared, I’d wash my hands of the club. But I’m not going to do that.
I’m just being honest.
You want and expect everybody to just renounce their support but that’s not going to happen.

Okay fair enough.
What would they have to do for you to ‘care’ based on what they are already?
Your fanbase often depicted Ashley as a ‘man’ and what he was and stood for, what is the difference morally I ask?

Will you vote for the Tories now?
I can only speak honestly for myself and it’s a decent question.
Ultimately, I have a long standing, generational support and love for NUFC and that is not going to change. We can go over hypothetical scenarios but the actual current situation isn’t going to make me change or stop supporting the club.
Is Ashley of a higher morale standing than the current ownership ? Yes he is, undoubtedly.
I genuinely get your point, I really do, and yes it’s not what you want to hear but that’s how it is.
No, I presume you’re getting at the Reubens or our current ( and many previous ) govts long standing links with the KSA ?
Is it not better to just lock the thread though as opposed to wanting opinions blocked ?

You can't seriously compare the two? One was regarding a Manager who performed a Roman/Fascist salute in front of his own fans and yes, the NUM acted which many thought was over the top. Would they have done the same for a card-carrying Tory such as Neil Warnock, if he'd taken over? In fact, not a peep when he was Boro Manager, whose support is also drawn from Co Durham. For the record, my Great Grandad died in Spain fighting Fascism so I'm absolutely anti.
You simply cannot compare that to your lot taking Saudi flags etc to games and defending one of the most wicked regimes in human history. They are, at present, killing innocent people - bombing school buses, putting people to death without trial for simply being Shia Muslims, murdering gay people and rape victims and allowing the marrying and sexual abuse of little girls as yoing as 8 years old.
Now, if you want to use some of us not too chuffed with a bloke using our club for his 15 minutes then crack-on but don't try to align the two as that is horrendous.

No I think the thread has a purpose to keep highlighting ongoing issues. I realise most mags want all this to go away and for them to left to get on with enjoying the new found wealth that they feel so deserving of that they have forgot any moral compass.

I’m not comparing the two. I’m pointing out that football fans, from all clubs, have a tendency to back their club whatever the predicament. As you did.

A second thought? I think 911 and the atrocities that happen due to KSA and Arab countries is horrific though we just try and forget about the middle east, and how backward and barbaric a lot of regimes are there otherwise it would stress us out with hiw little we can do about it. However when one of these regimes came to sportswash the most desperate ,the thought of dancing around and being ecstatic about being owned by the most barbaric of those regimes is truly sickening. And LGBTQ nufc fans welcoming them mind boggling.
You're a disgrace for trying to justify it.
Except bayern fans who wanted nowt to do with qatar money.
Why are nufc (or English fans if I'm being generous) different
