Yep that is a large part of it but it also clearly mentions their disgust re the human rights record of the proposed owners which was also part of their objection.

As I said just an interesting slant on the often used statement by many clubs including Newcastle that fans can’t do anything and clearly a stark contrast to the approach of a large proportion of fans at Newcastle who actively petitioned lobbied and pressurised the establishment to enable the takeover
You are living in fantasy land if you think the thoughts, ideas, wishes of Newcastle supporters had any bearing on the sale of the club. Palms will have been greased either personally or the UK government might get something favourable as a result. There are loads of petitions every year and most come to nowt.
 

Not more scum on here
Their forums are supposedly shit , not that I would ever look, and definitely not pretend to be one of the terrorist sympathizers .

So they come on here to try to get us to understand that Salman can do what he wants in their country. Even if it means sanctioning murder, rape, stoning, torture, bombing Yemen and spitting on the west.

Wont work as we are not pond life.

Wow bit defensive aren’t we….the point is ultimately the voice of the fans may not have been heard, however regardless of this these particular fans made their disquiet known very clearly and publicly that human rights records of their possible new owners mattered to them.

It’s a fact that the complete opposite happened at Newcastle. The new owners at Newcastle could only have been delighted at the way in which the fans supported and actively encouraged the takeover.

Those things are both facts not fantasy.

I believe the least Newcastle fans could have done as a fan base is not sign the petitions, not lobby their MP etc etc and in fact made it clear that those with human rights records were not welcome….

They didn’t because they weren’t and aren’t bothered, ok that’s their right but the actions during and since the takeover means any attempted defence of the stance of fans ie we can’t do anything, is complete and utter bullshit

This is the first forum I’ve ever been on. Heard about this site a few months ago through twitter so decided to drop in every now and then to see what the craic was. Tbf there’s a few on here who just say the same thing over and over again which gets a bit repetitive and boring. There’s also a few who can converse properly without the vitriol. Nothing wrong with a bit back n forth but it gets a bit childish sometimes. Ps what’s happened to the bloke who’s grandson or nephew ?? is on the books at your academy and is gonna be the next big thing.

Well at least you didn't call yourself MackemDan I suppose.

@honest mag is the poster you are looking for I think, last I saw he was telling people to come and see him at one of our youth games and 'say that to my face' :lol: :lol: :lol:

He’s obsessed? ALL you talk about is Newcastle! Never your “own” club. Literally trawl Twitter every day and post the same boring shite.
3624 days since blah, blah, blah ffs….
I must admit there’s some quality posters on here, unfortunately you don’t fall into that category.
Aye, mag on a sunlan board etc…

The grandson doesn’t exist, the poster showed their snidey true colours, most of you lot do in the end.
 
If you believed this place then:
We'd have never been sold
Howe would not take the job, in fact nobody would
We'd get nobody in the transfer window
We'd still be relegated beating your own wretched low point relegations
Every win was lucky etc etc etc
Just accept it, things are changing and nobody outside of your neck of the woods cares. Lets be honest those on a personal crusade to whine on incessantly about PIF ETC never give a monkey's arse about them until we were mentioned in the same breath.

Oh and the claim that we'd both be playing in the championship next season. It's definitely not happening for us and it's still all up in the air whether you will as well.😀
This is what does you morons in, lots of people cared about what the KSA was doing but had no need to bring it up in a mag topic. Then you sold your souls to the devil and people highlighted and continue to highlight what your owners bring to the table everyday. That is, they kill school children stone women for being raped, behead people on a regular basis.
Now if this annoys you that simple - Fuck off to a forum that swallows the KSA mantra and you'll have nothing to moan about.

Just face it. Everything your club does from here - everything - is gonna be tainted by the blood money it's been funded with.

You qualify for the champions league? So fuck, it's on the back of multiple daily beheadings. You win some silverware? So fuck, it's on the back of thousands of innocent kids starved to death cos of the one sided war your owners have with Yemen.

Whatever you do, it's gonna be tainted by a regime that murders it's way to achieving it's aims. If you can deal with that, fine. But I pity you if that's your outlook.
