A game of football isn't more important than morals. The Saudis wood be going about things in exactly the same way no matter who they owned, as they have done for thousands of years.

My conscience is squeaky clean, you know it, it annoys you. We get it

I've enjoyed this thread as like I've said , not on Twitter and lunacy on there showcased here is entertaining.

What isn't entertaining , anytime I log on this thread some new mag spouting reasons they aren't sports washed. Surely something better to do than join rival teams messageboard

Could it be that the Saudis pulled someone semi influential to one side and said here’s 100k can you recruit some supporters to defend us on social media?

I know it sounds far fetched a notion but when when you see how much the pay PR firms around the world it rings true. I first thought of this when Wraith said he had met that bot when obviously he hadn’t.

I am not including the SMB as the defenders on here are attrocious.

It's not far fetched at all. They have even tricked the likes of the weak minded fool mills and boon into thinking the Saudis have nothing to do with the p.r /MEDIA side of the club.How mad is that? Anything is possible with these sportswashed lemmings

Its now 7 months since the mag supporters trust announced that the £210k raised by idiots to buy a share of the club would be given to charity. The money has still not been given to charity and not a single announcement has been made. No one knows what has happened to it.

I have seen a couple of instances where their Trust board members have been asked for an update, and have simply ignored the request. Here's one example:

You must be logged on to see media items


£210k is a serious amount of money. The absolute arrogance is unbelievable. The only reason this situation has been able to develop is because of the connection to Newcastle United - absolutely anything goes these days as far as the mags are concerned, no matter how depraved.

Amazingly, their fanzine had an event in Newcastle last week where 4 journos and at least 1 Trust member sat on a stage and, as far as I can tell, dribbled on about how brilliant Newcastle United were going to be to an audience of 200.

Alex Hurst, who is a trust board member was on the stage, and George Caulkin, who is supposed to be acting as a 'guardian' of the pledge money was sat just along from him. How the hell can they even show their faces in public, let alone charge money for the privilege of seeing them speak?(£15 per person! Didn't even have an ex footballer there either, it was just a load of shithead journalists!)

I'd invite anyone here to try losing £210k of charitable donations without providing any explanation, and then try and wring another £15 out of the same group of people who donated - see what reaction you get. But this is Newcastle United - they appear to believe normal rules of ethics and behaviour just don't apply to them anymore.

I was on the metro the other day, and was surprised to notice an advert for the 'true faith podcast'. In my limited involvement with fanzines, I've got the impression that there isn't much money floating around - they look like shoe string operations, more labours of love than businesses. I'm struggling to recall ever seeing a fanzine paying to take out advertising space before - maybe When Saturday Comes might have done so, many years ago? I think they tend to struggle for money a bit more these days, with so much free online content to compete with. But the mags fanzine is clearly getting some money from somewhere - credit to them for somehow bucking the trend!

Personally, can't see this getting resolved until the mags start losing some games and it dawns on them that this takeover isn't what they thought it was. At the moment they are like teenage joyriders, intoxicated by the idea that normal rules don't apply. It will end with tears and bedsheet protests, and it is only when they are brought back to earth that the missing charity money will get addressed.

To any normal person it is clearly a totally unacceptable situation, but I think it will be some time before the average mag recognises that, given the way they behave these days.

I know a little of the economics of podcasting. How many subscribers do they have and who are the sponsors. If you compare that to the piece of football that would help also.

You think MBS writes the Pride month tweets. Let that sink in

You said your conscience was clear with your owners, did you not? How can you seperate your owners, from their kiddy marrying, homophobic, genocidal way of life.Are you OK?

I don't separate the owners from their culture.

I separate the football club, its culture and values from the culture of Saudi Arabia. Because the two are in no way the same. Supporting NUFC does not mean you condone human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia. It's as simple as that
 
Mills and Boon said:
I don't ignore their human rights record for a start. Mike Ashley is clearly a worse owner when it comes to running a football club, we were headed in one direction under him and look what's happened since the takeover.


I'm talking about the culture of Saudi Arabia, not how the club is being run. You should have cottoned on to that from the thousands of years bit

What has happened? you are a sad person if you think that avoiding a deserved relegation last season is progress, buying second rate players from a relegation rival, running around with teatowels on your heads kissing the Suadi's arses, i cannot wait till it all implodes, i wonder how many of you skunks will appear on this forum then?

The club has made progress on and off the pitch. Feel free to disagree
