This 100%. Know two lads who had dad or uncle over there in 80s & paid mortgages off with the big money.

UK gov has had a close relationship with them for years & they were one of the states mentioned with post-brexit "global britain".

Not saying any of its right but money talks & all clubs would have had for & against. Easy to be all against when they bought your rivals.

I couldn't give a toss who they bought - rivals or not. The top man is heavily alleged to be responsible for the murder of 1000s of people. That isn't right be it Newcastle or someone else.

Sigh. Without wishing to reopen the controversy, it would be disingenuous if I didn't mention the circumstances of Di Canios arrival. I thought it was handled abysmally. The media frenzy which followed it was deeply unedifying - these things often are - but it originated from the resignation of David Miliband, one of Sunderland's own directors, a former Foreign Secretary, and a man whose family fled to Britain to escape persecution from fascism. Whether or not you accept his motivation, it was that which made the ISSUE of Di Canio's alleged political views relevant, heightened by our region's push to eradicate intolerance from society in general and football in particular. The tone of outrage from the club was misplaced. Di Canio addressed it; fine, good, that's the end of it as far as I'm concerned, albeit with a caveat. For all the accompanying dismay, one of the great pleasures of covering Sunderland over the years has been the club's firm sense of place, tradition and community. For me, that has been dented. And I hate writing that.

Well, if the Di Canio period dented this club's firm sense of place, tradition and community then I look forward to Caulkin's even-handed story about how Newcastle's firm sense of place, tradition and community has been in a high-speed write-off, parts scattered all over, and what's left taken to a scrapyard and crushed into a tiny little cube.
