The thing about the Mags and 'Mag Culture' is that they have to be perceived as the biggest and best.
Look at this article from the Ronnie: Peter Kenyon linked with Newcastle United takeover
Bearing in mind, this takeover attempt is unconfirmed and the person leading it has no money. They've identified that Kenyon has no money and wants to find people to help him fund this. So, to make themselves seem relevant 'in demand' they write:
What does the average work experience kid running the Chronicle website at the weekend know about prominent people on Wall Street? Manhattan is full of money, what makes this fella so prominent? What relevance does it even have?
It's an attitude on Tyneside that they have to be the biggest.
I'd love to see what they wrote about the great white knight, UK based Billionaire 'Mike Ashley' 10 years ago....
They have been in a ten year huff because they have a billionaire (like City) who won't spend his money (unlike City).
Almost as if it has no basis of truth at all...
Fan unrest. 19th Sept 2009 - Barry Moat “plotting takeover bid”.
Fan unrest. 1st October 2017 - Amanda Staveley in crowd “plotting takeover bid”.
Fan unrest. 29th September 2018 - Peter Kenyon “plotting takeover bid”.
Like absolute clockwork.
