That is decent numbers and decent income for a very low cost business. I guess they can afford ads on the metro afterall!

But sill something fishy about that 210k they raised.

I just know the figures that the Price of Football were offered for advertising on his pod and they weren't huge though he declines any gambling ads.

What?You said the takeover was nowt to do with the sportswashing of human rights but tourism, then 5 mins later said it was to sportswash the human rights issues. Backtracking at its finest

I’m very well thanks, and the same as far as having a lot of time.

But, I can’t help but disagree that it’s difficult for us lot to understand, I can say hand on heart, I’d never have gone again, me dad, who never gave a shiny shit about how we were doing, success wise, or what league we were in, his stock phrase was “I support Sunderland pet, not the League we are in” and I can say hand on heart, I know, after 70 years he’d not have gone again. He could not have stomached watching a team, however much he supported that team, being owned by a regime who had committed the disgusting atrocities your owners have.

He had principles and he stood by those principles, and I guess that’s what it comes down to in the end. Principles vs football club

I’ve got a lot of time for you, always have done, you know that.
You say “condone them or support them”.
I support Newcastle, have done for 50 years. But I absolutely condone what happens in their country, same as everyone else I know.
It’s difficult for you lot to understand, if the Saudis took over Sunderland I’d probably be the same. It’s a stick to beat the enemy with. I wrestled with my conscience for a while when they took over, then I thought, bollocks, I didn’t do anything about it before they took over, and I still don’t. I support Newcastle, and will do for the foreseeable future.
Hope you’re well!

There are loads of condemn ,condone mixups going on here. I am sure we can all agree on that.

I don’t doubt that your principle are worlds apart, yet you still go and support them, and that’s the bit I struggle with. I just couldn’t

Same here. I love my club, but would just stay away until the new owners f#cked off.Doesnt matter how much money they'd chuck at us,It just wouldn't be my club anymore.Its only a game, and not worth giving up my principles for.

The club is simply a Sportswashing tool for the new owners, even you must admit that. Anyone happily accepting their money must by default accept their actions.

That's what they will see it as, it's not how I and the majority of fans see it. I accept their investment into the club, as I accepted the owners before them. Doesn't mean I have to accept any of their actions outside of that

Spot on and my opinion too.
Some of The Mag supporters who defend their owners, don’t seem to want to accept or understand that would be our principled stance, because it’s not theirs.
