Did you not hear. The company that moved the Shearer statue the other week were from Sunderland apparently. If that’s not spreading money across the region, I don’t know what is.

I hope they were chemically sanitised after touching anything in that stink hole
How many scruffs work permanently at Nissan? Thats spreading money across the region not your pathetic mutterings

Dan - the Linkedin post actually explains a lot. He's done well for himself and the adulation he receives from the mags for "getting them" fills that void in his life. What easier way to get 50k extra twitter followers than to "get" the mags. Pure strategic decision by him to back the mags as they may be the next big team.

Not sure there’s much strategy going on.

The lunatics that get flagged up on here are all desperate to be something they aren’t. Steve Wraith wishes he was a Hollywood Actor, Michael Martin wishes his mar birthed him on the banks of the Tyne, Blue Monday and zinedine kilbane want to be MLFs… Jake Humphrey just wants to be liked and respected. None of these things will ever happen :D

Clever spin......but history shows what Germany did, history shows what KSA did or does, but things have to start somewhere.........

But it does not matter anymore, one of your own has been honest enough to admit his own moral stance but also point out what the majority of SAFC fans would do had roles been reversed

If hitler bought a football club as he was killing Jews I’d hope that there would have been a few people from that football club not very happy.
If the fascist ruler of arguably the worst country in the world for human rights bought a club now, you’d expect people not to be happy.

Yeah, as one fan knows what the majority would do, that’s imbecilic!
If it is true, which i doubt, thank fuck it didn’t happen as I’d be absolutely disgusted with all of them who didn’t speak out against a regime who labels people terrorists for speaking against the regime and cutting their heads off.

Surely the obvious one that sticks out to me is the law for women’s driving. There’ll be other changes aswell that aren’t as prevalent as that one. Btw, I’m not sticking up for anything the Saudis get up to, doesn’t interest me, never has. This is me giving balance to an argument saying that the Saudis aren’t showing anything in regards to changing. Also seen a documentary a little while ago where they’ve started having outdoor music festivals etc, similar to some of the big European and American ones, which 5 years ago would have been unheard of. They’re a country which is a whole lifetime behind us in regards to some of they’re backward thinking laws, there’s no getting away from that. The only time people will take them seriously is when they change their laws regards homophobia etc, and close down chop chop square.
Has Botman or Diaby signed on the dotted line yet.

And there is the truth - the majority would not! That is the only point I wanted to hear. I have no doubt some of your fan base would disconnect.....some of ours will have, but the majority would not. That is the only point that was relevant.

And I totally admire YOUR moral stance, but as you say, you would be in the minority, so I take back the 'delusional' comment.

A hell of a lot more of us would stop going and protest.
We certainly wouldn't be running around in tea towels waving Saudi flags and defending the horrible (unts the way you lot are.
It's a perfect fit really. Vile.

@Skylon - spot on. Dan has produced a fabulous example of sportswashing. Explaining how a country he knows little about, and has likely never met a Saudi before, are trying to change. His answer is the very reason why they bought NUFC.

"This is me giving balance to an argument saying that the Saudis aren’t showing anything in regards to changing.

Yous can argue this until you are blue in the face, but no one believes you, not even you if you’re being honest with yourself.

Not arguing just a statement of fact.
I guarantee 100k of us wouldn't have signed a petition to be taken over by murderers.
You should be ashamed you horrible horrible disgusting (unts
Moreso you for assuming we have as low a moral compass as yourself.

Remember that horrible freak shouting for hot water for his porridge at PL headquarters. Little did he know he need not have bothered as the threat of pulling out of arms and oil deals from Salman the butcher to bullshitter Boris was enough.

If you believe that a good chunk of yous would have stopped following your team then I’m calling delusion on your part. For some reason, you think that the average safc fan has a higher moral compass than the average nufc fan. I’ve got news for you. You haven’t. FACT !!

Lots walked away when we appointed Dicanio and that's a fact, he didn't murder anyone either.
As I say it's not just the walking away, you petioned parliament and begged them to take you over. You dance around with tea towels and have Saudi twitter profiles, it's f*cking disgusting tbh.
Desperate fans wanting success at any cost, your owner wanted to marry an 11 year old, have a look at yourself you disgusting prick.
