No other clubs fans would have dressed up as Awabs in the numbers your retards did. Drinking alcohol whilst waving Saudi flags - if you work for Aramco the. You know what would happen to them in the Kingdom.

So that wouldn't happen within you're fanbase? So no other clubs don't have idiots associated within their fanbases?

Have you worked within Saudi? Or are you going with what you read on this forum?

I've said it many times over the years, I work for Aramco. They actually have paid for everything I have physically, do I agree with what happens within the country? Hell no.

But the hypocrisy is unreal on here, if you can't see it for what it is then I'm sorry.

If it was you're club, if it was Manchester United even the percentage of fans of either club that would be over the moon, would be extremely high. To say otherwise, well, is absolutely bullshit.

You're just upset that it's not plane sailing and many disagree with the takeover. I'm sure you'd be thinking the exact same thing had we been taken over by the same owners or another PL club like West Ham or Southampton.

It’s an awful comparison but it’s being trotted out left right and centre by desperate mags

It’s almost as if they can’t see the difference between an investment portfolio and a blatant sportswashing operation

Of course they can see the difference. But they are desperate to convince us and themselves that there's nothing wrong with this takeover. They're cracked in the head.

I mean how do you even reply to that mess? A minority investment in a sociial media company / tv Station (no control how its run) is not comparable to a 80% controlling stake in a football club that used to represent your community.

Their minority twitter and Disney investments are not designed to sports wash their hideous regime. You are.

If you can't see the difference I cant help you im afraid. But any normal functioning human should be able to see the difference.

They know the difference obviously just using it to try deflect so nobody can see the Saudi spunk dribbling down their chin.

Nothing's changed with me.
I'm a fan of Newcastle united and have been for nearly 50 years through the good the bad and the ugly of it all. As long as the club continues, I'll still be the same fan and supporter.

What people use against me is their issue, not mine.

It's a interesting world where "personal empathy", "moral judgements" and "ethical dilemmas" can be dismissed by you as irrelevant and are merely "someone else's issue".

I believe such statements were popular at Nuremburg.

I'm not defending anyone. I'm calling out people who take the moral high ground but then support the very same regime through other means.
In for a penny or in for a pound, it all amounts to the same.

Reetio mate, in that case an accidental death is obviously the same as deliberate murder because in for a penny in for a pound. Stop jumping through hoops to justify yourself.

We all want to win trophies but some are willing to get that even if it is built on the graves of innocent kids, just have a think about that, it's embarrassing for us all.

The mags dancing around the centre of Newcastle dressed as arabs, won't appreciate that.

There must be something rattling around in that random word generator that passes for a noggin propelling you to rattle out these long waffling posts of yours. Misplaced conscience perhaps.

Even if KSA’s human rights record wasn’t regularly mentioned in the papers you must realise it’s not quite right that any country can own a club for PR purposes.

Nobody’s asking you to “give up your club”, the rest of the world is just a little shocked how effortlessly you’ve taken to the sportswashing process and you’ll have to get used to that judgement. After all there’s no going back.

How any Newcastle can ever again call for social justice is beyond me, they're in bed with the worst that the world has to offer and all they can offer in retort is that there's other bad people in the world as well.

I'll be 100% honest I couldn't give a damn fuck if it was the likes of West Ham, Tottenham, Brighton, Leeds or the likes. But. I'd be absolutely jealous if it was my local rival, yes, infact I'd be bitter as fuck. It would of been the same had the Dell lot had succeeded in taking SAFC over, no doubt.

As for other clubs / fans of other clubs I understand the reasons why they're upset, of course I do. Same for the human rights activists, infact I understand that a hell of a lot more.

With regards to plain sailing, ha. Its Newcastle nothing ever goes right. The plastic fans from every other country in the world have already got my back up.

Which basically equals, as long as they're spending money improving the team, I don't care.

If however they had no intention of investing any money and running you like Ashley, your opinion on the matter would be totally different and of course Human Rights would then come into the equation, it really is that simple.

This has been explained to you numerous times.
Maybe go back and read them 5 or 6 more times and it may get through to you.

When I use twitter or an uber I'm not cleansing the disgusting saudi regime.
This disgusting despot owns your club. He doesn't have a minority stake in it. He is the face of it. He isnt the face of twitter or uber.
I'm not happy that this disgusting regime buys shares in companies that I like. I'm certainly not happy uk companies sell arms to help your owner kill kids in Yemen.
But your fans f***ing celebrate that this tyrant is now the face and owner of your once proud Club.
#cans.
It's horrific and if you can't see the difference then shame on you.
Now stop writing the same 'whataboutery' bullshit. As said It's been explained several times. I've previously linked an article by Holt of the mail explaining it.
Here it is again. Read it for the 5th time and maybe you'll get it.

The fact that you choose to ignore it as you are so desperate to have Newcastle be a rich club with all this blood money says a lot about the type of person you are.
All nufc fans should be embarrassed about the last few days and your reaction to your new owner.

Support the team, not the regime.
Be excited about football in the next few years.
But don't spread this bullshit 'whataboutery' and make excuses for your vile owners. Just sit there and be quiet and put your head in the sand that you think MBS is a more fitfull owner and better for the club than MA.
Be ashamed.

You can bleat on as much as you like about you not liking buying anything from these people but you do have a choice and you choose to go with it.
Newcastle fans aren't bleating on about murderous regimes and what not. The odd one's may just like anywhere you get the odd one's.
Most Newcastle fans are concentrating on the club, not on the owner.
And yes, fans will be happy. And yes, fans will be excited about a blank cheque type of set up.

And I'm not making any excuses for the owners. I'm arguing points with people like you who take the moral high ground when it suits.
