If the Saudis didn't want to own us they wouldn't have begun the conversation, let alone get to the O&D stage.

Honestly, I think you overstate the interest from the Saudis. As I said earlier in this thread, the only party showing any enthusiasm and expectation was Amanda Staveley.

I think she wanted to own you, and she had talked the Reubens and PiF into putting up some money to achieve that. PiF saw it as an investment/publicity opportunity, the Reubens saw opportunity as well.

But the main noise came from Staveley again.

If the Saudis wanted to buy Newcastle I am sure they would have found a way. But they just didn't want it that much when things got tricky

Ashley would still invest heavily (after sales) to get them back up, they would also retain a few players, some of whom are on the fringes and are probably excellent Championship players.

No level of realistic investment would close the gap that much, we'd still be way off as its not even as if we've got a young team that's going to improve.

Dubai's sportswashing worked on Man City because they've delivered on their promises, and exceeded them in some regard. The Saudis will sharp be forgotten if they don't end up as owners. Just because Steve Wraith is so hungry for attention he'd pipe off Trump on youtube, doesn't mean the fanbase as whole is blind to the horrors of the Saudi regime.

You're conflating fans wanting to be successful with fans thinking the Saudis are great. You're also guilty of being utterly blinded by your contempt for Newcastle fans, to the point there's fuck all point in continuing this chat.

Sorry, but this is an absolutely disgraceful attempt to brush the disgusting behaviour of the overwhelming majority of your fans under the carpet.

You were all so excited about the Saudi sports minister following the club account on twitter that it ended up in the Chronicle:

The fact that his father who also belonged to the government had admitted to torturing British citizens, had set up the Taliban in Afghanistan, and had met Bin Laden several times made no difference to you. Would you have responded to this individual like this if you hadn't thought the Saudis were going to takeover?

Would you have endorsed something with that line in it if you hadn't though the Saudis could takeover?


Wylam Brewery thought (probably correctly) that an image of Bin Salman on their beer cans would help sales. Would they have used an image of Saddam Hussein in the same way? Unlikely, but Saddam couldn't be associated with the football club, whereas Bin Salman can:

I could go on, the abuse directed towards Khasshoggi's fiance was beyond belief. You cannot hide from the fact that everyone can now see what the vast majority of Newcastle supporters are like, and you didn't even get taken over.

You won’t get a serious answer to this. He’ll waffle on about having an agenda against the club.
 
Was plenty of mag bars full and absolutely transfixed to the big screens when we played Portsmouth. They were livid we were at Wembley

Why oh why do they try and justify wanting these murdering bustards to own their club?

And when it goes tits up they backtrack using whataboutery, claiming it has nothing to do with the club or fans. I believe this was set up by Ashley & Staveley to make them money and give the Saudis a planned target to Sportswash. There is no better target than those imbeciles.

Had their under twenty ones/threes reached the final and not us, they would not have kept quiet.
Had the league positions been reversed they would be looking forward to it.
I cannot wait. It is a trophy, means nothing in the bigger picture.
I want to see our club lift a trophy.

Their Under 21’s are crap, really makes me worry for them, or maybe not!

Its always been tough on kids signing for big clubs.....probably 90% + get dumped at first hurdle and will be told this at the start, quite a few will end up in lower/non league and make a living out of it. Mental health issues is banded about to much at the moment every bugger is doing it.....slightest wobble and mental health comes into play, back in the day you were fed up/pissed off/down in the dumps etc etc but dusted yourself down and got on with it

But this one signed for Newcastle :confused:

Spot on that man!
 
Their demand to be allowed to have murderous, torturing owners sits strangely with their continuing crusade and obsession to vilify and label a club and its supporters over a sacked Sunderland player.
