Ah, I see. Yeah we're owned by the worst of the villains. I wish I shared your conviction that people will care as much in the future as they do now. But the journalists will go to Qatar on their jollies, the impact of protests against the Saudis will diminish. The Government doesn't care, the PL doesn't care, the wider football world doesn't care (enough).

It's depressing, but it's fair to say that the atrocities already carried about by the House of Saud won't take up many column inches in 1, 5, 10 years time. New ones might.

If the Saudi’s were to behave themselves and try to show changes in their rule, then you may have had a point. Unfortunately for your lot, you know this will never happen and every execution, bomb dropped on Yemen, together with all other atrocities they commit will always keep them in the news, and not in a good way. Whenever it happens, a link will always be made to Newcastle.

Your best outcome is that they throw some money at you, milk the propaganda from your sportswashed supporters and sell you on in a few years time before you become tarnished for good.

On the positive side, even though it’s only a sportswash, it’s the nearest some of your scruffs will come to a wash for the foreseeable future.

Worth 3 times that. He’s done a fantastic job. Alas his love of bacon has seen his time come to an end. As long as he doesn’t have to go to the Saudi embassy to pick up his money he’ll be fine.

:eek: :lol:

"Steve, before we sort out the compensation we'd like to send you on a holiday as a 'thank you'.

Have you every been to Yemen before?

It's beautiful this time of year, plenty of flights from the KSA every day and guaranteed to be nice and hot with orange sunsets for the foreseeable future... "

:lol: - the rest of the comment just happened to mention a few facts about the regime in Saudi Arabia and some pretty appalling atrocities and ways of life/torture/death/oppression.

Irrelevant to you says everything. :rolleyes:

How were they relevant to my discussion?

No, it's not a 'coincidence', I've already explained why I came back, do you need me to quote it again for you? Do you really need me to do that?

And do you really think I'd need to wait for Newcastle to become the richest club in the world to wind you up? Really? Since I've came back all I have done is comment that I'm surprised with the amount of human rights activists posting and you're already crying... It would have been really easy for me to wind you up during the past 4 years if I wanted to.

Crying? Who is crying?

You appear to have a fairly high opinion of yourself, for a grown man who does what you do, anyway.

As I say, whatever makes you happy.
