Not new info but a reminder to mills and boon and his ilk of the murky world that is House if Saud.

You didn’t choose them (apparently) and don’t support them (so I have heard) but this guy is the de facto owner of your club. But yet still no alarm bells are ringing? Park human rights for two seconds - a tyrant owns your football club. He is the real life equivalent of Sacha Baron Cohen in the Dictator. You can ignore it but to defend makes you look like an awful human being.

I'm not ignoring or defending it, so that's cool

Not defending. Are you OK?

Zero hour contracts = bad, get out of our club and until you do we’ll shout at your shops

Hoying gays off buildings = we can’t control who our owners are or what they do

That's a good one actually. I wasn't a shop shouter, I didn't think it had a hope of getting Ashley out and found it embarrassing.

But by the logic displayed in here regarding the Saudi owners, all Newcastle fans supported zero hour contracts and vomiting in fire places because the owner did.

I can't be the only one on here that sees that as a wonky line of thinking

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:

£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.

Bang on here tbf. When you first started on about this a while ago I just thought, wtf’s it got to do with him. But there’s definitely a rabbit off somewhere. Glad I didn’t put any of my hard earned in otherwise I might have been a bit more on the ball with it.
