Imagine if the Newcastle player's were in their dressing room talking about the takeover - if they agreed with jailing people for being gay - not allowing women basic human rights - and the state assassination of journalists - and the conversation was recorded and leaked to the press - The premier league would be forced to ban the players for 6+ games .
yet the same premier league has sold the club to the very individual who is responsible for the enforcement of these rules
time to get organised - let's get as many people as possible running the Great North Run - wearing t-shirts with the above cartoon - and raising sponsorship for Amnesty International or similar
How about contacting his fiancé and asking her how we can protest his killing? Maybe a t-shirt with his image with proceeds to something of her choice?

Great idea - as I have previously stated this is not a Sunderland fight - but a fight that should be taken up by everybody
the more we publicise just what the Saudis stand for - help the people affected - the better .

I really think something like this should be done, but would be 1000 times more effective if it was a group of fans, including Newcastle ones, and not just Sunderland. I know it wouldn't be the intention, but it would seem a bit cheap to use something like the Khashoggi killing in a way which some would perceive as simply wanting to have a dig at our rivals. A group of fans across the North East who are opposed to having this regime involved in our region would be much stronger. As would the message to the Saudis if there were Newcastle fans involved. Finding any who genuinely want to raise funds for Yemen / keep pressure on regarding Khashoggi might be a challenge though.
