What do you want to hear? Here is how I see it, no I don't want to see fans working round looking daft with tea towels on their heads, no I dont want to see SA flags at games either home or away, and yes it would be a good thing if the Wor Flags groups did produce something against the KSA way, but yes I am pleased we have owners with a genuine interest to invest, their representatives have not missed a game since the takeover..... that just about sums it up to me.

"their representatives have not missed a game since the takeover" - are you really that blind? AS is the "front" for the business. She is using borrowed funds for her 10% and has admitted she will be diluted (ie. all owners should invest on a pro-rata basis but she can't afford to) somewhere down the line. They already issued a special share for 40m so her and JR didn't need to stump up. They are there as the acceptable face and to take the initial flak as inevitably, as loud as we may shout, the noise will quieten down and they will become sole owners and she gets her payoff. Are you really so deluded that she borrowed 30m+ just for the joy of having a share in NUFC? You aren't alone in being blind to this.

And would you complain if they bought Sunderland? 1% of you would and would walk away, but many thousands more would return. You can live on the moral high ground until you are blue in the face but that is a fact, and not just with your fans, every other club as well.....across the globe.
Have the fans got their club back, well lets just say it is going in the right direction, will we win the league anytime soon? I doubt that very much, that boat sailed away in 1996, but we will compete and that is all anyone can ask of their club.

They have not bought Sunderland they bought Newcastle as the easiest supporters to sportswash. So your owners can commit any atrocities ? They can do whatever they want in your eyes ?
A team that tries 😂 fuck off man.
If trying means no trophies or outside top 6 you’ll be whinging again as per usual

The English game is money mad. Not many clubs look to develop youngsters. When was the last time the mags had a decent batch of youngsters? They have an appalling youth record since being in the PL.

No sustained period since the 60s. 1984-1992 unearthed a few gems and a decent cluster of players that made it as pros. Subsequently, few clubs have such a dismal record in youth development as NUFC.

What about the young local kid who got sold for a then British transfer record fee ?

Have a look of the comments. Barry J Ingram, ginger pirlo and the king of Northumbria straight on it. These three are unpaid defenders of anything negative that is published about the club. Experts in the Middle East, geo politics and sports law.

Good shout. I’d forgotten about Big Andy.

On his day unplayable.
