They are always right up the arse of someone who along with his wife has share of 10% (probably less in future). Yet some of the mag fans go on as if they are the outright owners and running the show when they're simply puppets being used as the face of the club to deflect the true owners behind the scenes.
I wonder if those same fans would still do the same if it was MBS who was the public face of NUFC as they'd bought them 100%? The sad fact is that some of them actually would still be given the way they are now with the Governor of PIF. What percentage of the fans loving it now would be the complete opposite if it was say Aston Villa instead of NUFC who were taken over by PIF etc? I'd say a lot of them as it's amazing how fickle football fans are when it comes to a club and how they will change their views on something. From all the deflection and whataboutery, along with the tomfooleries of the whole takeover process it seems the mags have a higher percentage than most clubs.
Prediction: in a few years, MBS will turn up at SJP for a match and will be given a rapturous reception
