We live in a time where Mike Ashley is a villain and MBS and the Saudi investment fund is the saviour. Football fans have absolutely no morals at all do they? 😂
I know Ashley hasn't been a good owner and Newcastle they have been a bit of a yo yo club under him but imagine being happy about having Saudis owning you just so you might see the odd trophy. Will they care? Probably not. I'm yet to see one Newcastle fan unhappy about this news.
I'm not even happy that we have Saudi sponsors at United. If they took over the whole club that would be me finished a match goer until they left.
I do think our loyalty and bias towards our own clubs definitely clouds our opinions. You only have to have spoke to a City fan over last 12 years to realise they are biggest hypocrites in football not that they will ever own it.
The best league in the world is fast becoming the league of the world's real super villains.
Football is a whole different world

He has 2 wives in reality, footballers probably have more mistresses

Fair play to Stretty for actually inadvertently proving his own point in his op though.
“The Saudi takeover of Newcastle is wrong, I will only tolerate their involvement in football to the level of their relationship with my own club”

Morals you honestly think Newcastle fans suddenly think the Saudis are good people? Get off the glue mate, they want a good football team they don’t suddenly think they’re a nice bunch

You think every billionaire owners are clean? Pretty much all of them are dodgy. Read up about Roman and his wealth, his links with Putin etc and you know all about Russia and their views on homosexuality, but lets pick on the Middle Eastern owners. I don't think Newcastle fans would give a crap. They'll get a good cash injection that would help the club progress. At least they invest in the clubs they own unlike the American leaches, that includes Arsenal, Utd and Liverpool, what exactly have they done other than take money out of the clubs.

Not sure why you’ve included our owners there

Nah, I’d argue probably Spurs. Everything that has happened can all be drawn back to when the first holding companies were set up, that’s what led to the scrapping of ownership rules in football and made the investors and rich owners come running

Liverpool got lucky getting Klopp, if you didn’t then then you’d probably be in the same position as Arsenal. Not like Liverpool owners are investing heavily.
