Honest and geniune question mate
I always wonder what other fans of other clubs think when the mags play and commentators say stuff like
They love a goal scorer up here ?
They love exciting players that get them off their seat ?
They would rather lose 4-3 than win 1-0 ?(madness I know)
Is it just Sunderland fans who think or even shout fuck off man you idiot ?
I find it annoying mate
There's been a myth mainly created by the media
I wouldn't be daft enough not to admit they have good support,have a rich history and had some good sides,but there are a fair few clubs the same that don't get half the coverage and have been through far more crap than Newcastle have.
Have your loyalty tested down here for a few years ,then see if halfway up the Prem is such a miserable place to be sitting
When they had Ashley it was all you heard on the radio,while other clubs were virtually going to the wall,annoyed the hell out of me
Now this with the Saudis...
Now tell me who a bad owner is?
..Ashley or some regime that executes 80 folk in one day?
Shouldn't really be a question should it

Ashley wasn’t a bad owner.
We, as supporters, have no sway over what the media say.
My experience is that football fans are, in the main, the same regardless of the team they support. All clubs have a percentage of idiots however the majors are just normal folk who enjoy a day out with their mates, a few beers, a bit of piss taking and in most cases a vein hope of winning.
Halfway up the premiership sounds great to you. Your situation will sound great to a fan of Exeter, who in turn are way better off than fans of Bury.

Get your point mate..but not entirely true when your team has actually been there
Exeter haven't, nor had Bury

Mate you’ve won something relatively recently compared to us up here. You don’t know you’re born !!
Always had a soft spot for the Owls. My cousin played for you back in the 80’s so I was Hillsborough a lot.
Goes without saying I hope you beat our red n white brothers to promotion…
 
They aren't owned by the Saudi Arabian Government. Clubs aren't allowed to be State owned. It's the rules. That makes your question about the Russian Government irrelevant.

I am beginning to think we are all being whoosed as no one in their right mind believes this.

- They are funded by the government (40bn of fx reserves and 80bn of Aramco shares recently). They do not have a magic money tree;
- The mags are only the richest club in the world by virtue of being owned by the Saudi's. Much of the PIF investments are very illiquid.
- The Chair of PIF is MBS and he presented the 5 year plan;
- No one proved separation. The Saudi's issued a royal decree to say PIF and KSA were separate. This was accepted by the PL with vague (unenforceable) threats if it was proven otherwise. There is a good chance MBS isn't even aware of the mags but if there is a vote of political significance somewhere down the line only a fool would pretend he would not have influence on this;

You’re in denial lad, or simply Sportswashed. Do you also believe that Putin was telling the truth when he said that the Russians went into Ukraine as peacekeepers?

The club is owned by the Saudi state, simple as that. Who do you think owns and runs PIF?

As far as I’m aware, there is currently nothing in the O&D test that prevents a state from owning a club. The written assurances given by the Saudi’s was that as shadow directors, the state (MBS) would not get involved in the decision making at the club.
 
I'm not angry at all. Keep trying murderer apologist.

Another one outed.
One of the worst this idiot if you ask me and yes he’s been outed

When they say the Saudis promised not to get involved in the decision making at the club what they mean by that is they will actually make all of the decisions and have someone else as a spokesperson to pretend they are doing it. This is how it works.

I've said all along I'd have been ecstatic if they'd bought us! The thought that Sunderland AFC, a football club I've supported week in week out since the 73/74 season, the club a few miles north of where I'm from and where I live, would be the worlds richest club would have been mindblowing for me.

I'm 54 years old now. My dad started taking me to Roker when I was 5 just after we'd won the Cup so for almost 50 years I've supported this club and never seen us win a thing. Realistically, I live another 25 years I'm likely still never to see us win a thing. It's not really something I want to take to my grave with me so the the thought of spending the years to come challenging for trophies and visiting some of the best cities and stadiums in Europe would have been magic. Give me that over scrambling about in this tinpot league entertaining the likes of Burton Albion and Fleetwood Town, and struggling against them!
That’s more important to you than who owns the club? Not having a pop. Genuine question?

The self pitying of this one is off the scale.Mad snivel

if they arent linked to the saudi state in any way, why did the PL get a legally binding document that said the saudi state wouldnt "interfere" in running the club? did they do the same for abramovic?
in the real world, the crown prince will tell PIF and the puppet who is their chairman where to spend its money, given he runs it, and authorize them to buy another striker. then spend a few more million on missiles to bomb kids.

Telling a Sheff Wed fan he doesn't know he was born.This is the level of delusional self pity you use,to justify your defending of your paedophile owner.
