I’ve just been offered a job in Saudi and I have to be honest, I am genuinely in a dilemma weighing up my morals against knowing I’ll never need to worry about my family financially again.
 
The Saudi love in is and will come to an end and as said earlier there's no way you'll get owners who are as rich as the Saudi scum.
It's hardly a revelation that at some point the current owners of NUFC will move on, you can say that about the ownership of every football club in the world. You're right about the wealth, though, they won't sell on to more wealthy owners because there aren't any.
Now, I am numb to them. I hate the regime that owns them. I hate the way their fans have fawned over the Saudis and hailed Queen Amanda of the Toon.
There is a glaring inconsistency here.

To be honest I don't blame anyone for taking opportunities like this.

I personally would not want to live there or work for the Saudi state but if I was offered a big enough sum I'd find it hard to turn that down as my family come before my morals!

There really isn't. The team are dead to me. I'm appalled at the welcome given to a murderous regime. How's that inconsistent.
 
Nee wonder the ‘mag at work’ just walked away from your desk. No doubt shaking his head at the quality of your Monday morning crack.

Come on mate! Your club, the club with a proud history since 1892 (130 years), the focus of the city are now financed by the Saudi Arabian government who are dropping bombs on children in Yemen. There is no comeback from this, this transcends football banter and there is no comparable. Newcastle fans have forfeited any right to banter over football ever again. That is what makes the whole thing so sad - sportswashing yourselves for Chris Wood and Matt Targett.

I live in Washington and half of my mates are mackems. I won’t be ‘forfeiting any right to banter’ at all. Not one of them is massively interested in who owns NUFC, most, quite rightly, are concerned at SAFC’s plight. It’s just a few lads on here who are obsessed by it. BTW, you didn’t mention Bruno and Tripps.

As you wish but can't see how you have any response to "your financiers bomb kids!"

You are burying your head in the sand if you really think that. Meanwhile literally 100's of your lot are pouncing on any negative posts on social media with whataboutery and deflection. Who knew so many of the Geordie Nation were experts in geopolitics and sovereign wealth funds.

It is not going away.
