Saudis couldn’t give a fuck what anyone says about them. Biden said he wouldn’t meet the Crown Prince but he did and they know the west is desperate for their oil.

Just seen my first saudi top down Concord. A spenk rolling his fag outside Herons. Thankfully I had my old diadora training shorts on so he knew why I gave look of distain. Vile.

Could have signed Diaby, Paqueta & Ekitike but no :lol: that’s the problem with thinking you’re the richest club in the world when they are spending the real money on things that make them richer. Newcastle are just a sportswashing opportunity.

BehEddie has warned of difficulties over ‘high prices ? (Richist clurb in walled) and ‘limited availability ? (Loads of players moving)
Looks like Lingard is considering a move to Saudi Arabia where he could earn £10M a year. Cut out the middle man Newcastle Utd and go direct 😂

It’s sad the way they’ve just been overlooked. I remember their local MP writing letters full of complete lies in favour of the takeover, while ignoring her Yemeni constituents entirely. I also remember this article:

“I’m really pleased the Saudis pulled out. When a power like that takes over, you sign a deal with the devil,” Parkin, a third generation Yemeni, told MEE.

“I haven’t really spoken to anybody who was really for the deal. Every person I spoke to, white, Yemeni or whatever, no one supported it on the shop floor,” he said.

“I’ve spoken to friends in the Muslim and Yemeni community, and they were quite appalled at the thought of the consortium taking over Newcastle. I certainly think it would've been very negative for Tyneside’s Muslims,” Hussein said.

MEE were in contact with other Yemenis from South Shields who had similar concerns about the takeover, but did not want to speak publicly due to fear of a backlash from local football fans.

Thats the mags for you these days though
 
3 weeks before the start of the new season and my internal conflict hasn’t really resolved itself.

The reality of being owned by a state which is in all but essence supporting Putin in his war in Ukraine isn’t really hitting home for many because ‘the official club twitter is class now’.

We revel in Reubens donating to a foodbank made even more necessary by the party they choose to fund and becoming just as necessary by inflation being driven by Putins war in Ukraine supported by…you know who over in Ridyah. But hey…they’ve painted the Gallowgate.

They’ve added Biden to the list of whataboutery…it’s ok signing Botman because the President is fist bumping with MBS and that green shirt is a good laugh isn’t because it’s upset Olly Holt (tbf upsetting a Mail journalist isn’t the worst thing)

Mandy and Mehrdad are sainted…yes they seem awfully nice but as figureheads on a one year contract…why wouldn’t they be? No loss to them.

Ticket prices are rising, while Mike Ashley is guilty of possibly at worst being a disinterested badly advised owner, he kept prices low…prices will rise and the club don’t care if Dave from Byker can’t afford it, because the plan for success will bring in deep pocketed tourist fans that fill up the likes of anfield and old Trafford.

As I’ve said before, The fanbase is now dominated by a generation who grew up under Keegan and Robsons reigns where 5th was judged a failure. The biggest pain they’ve had is 2 relegations followed by immediate returns. They don’t remember McGarry, Sack the Board, Lord Westwood, Richard bloody Dinnis and years of misery and now they sit on podcasts and pontificate it was always top 10 finishes and European football and it bloody wasn’t.

I maintain Howe will leave this season, he’s the Mark Hughes of the revolution so to speak but I think he’ll go because he’s clear from day one he’s a hands on manager and that’s why Ashworth is now there and does Eddie Howe excite in foreign lands? Nah, would MBS pose with Howe? Doubt it. Jose will be in at some point and the Sir Bobby links will cause the Wear to fill with vomit.

Have I renewed? Yes as I’m on a deal. Therefore am I massive hypocrite? Possibly yes. I genuinely haven’t decided whether to go or pass the ticket to my nephew.

I just don’t like ‘my day’ of beers with the lads, craic in the pub and the normal working class lads and lasses around me being essentially an approval of our real owners…and that’s not an easy call.

Ps . The mag is utter shite click bait that makes the chronicle look Pulitzer Prize winning
