Aren’t Sheffield United owned or have some connections to the Saudis?

Yeah, but they're not linked to MBS.

Newcastle fans had wet dreams over Neymar, Mbappe and Lingard signing for them.

Heads will roll for this

The world is full of scuumbags anyway. It's not only the Saudi's. Some do the dirty work discreetly, some do it openly (Saudi). Americans and Brits are as bad as the Saudi's and Emaratis. Don't get me started on Egyptians

Richard Keys will be happy

Ashley gets to keep the 17 million deposit they paid as well

.....

I am not sure we have been beheading journalists lately.

As bad as Western nations are, we don't dismember our journalists and kill them in consulates.

Isn’t ^

Great news. Last thing we need is another amoral billionaire buying success.

It's ridiculous that a TV rights deal rather then human rights abuse is what scuppered things though.

Thee are already to many financially doped clubs around. Pity the authorities did not go into the background of the City owners and the Russian at Chelsea.

Fack the saudi’s

Reckon UWW will be annoyed, pretty sure he’s a distant member of the royal family there. He will have to forget his name change to NUWW

We don't dismember our journalists but we're not exactly innocent when it comes to war/killing etc. Like I said there's so much we don't know about because our officials maybe better at hiding things than the Saudi's

The Saudi's love to drop little bombs on small Yemeni children and women for fun, dismember journalists, stone/behead adulterers and let child rapists run scot free.

As scuummmy as British and the US governments are, at least they have a small bit of human decency in them.

And in other news, the leader of FIFA has had criminal proceedings opened against him. Just another normal day in football.

Just clocked that story myself. Mental, if not exactly surprising. FIFA and corruption, who'd have thought it.

Both are as decent as each other. As I said the crimes the British have committed are as bad as Saudi. You have to remember, Saudi Arabia took is modern form in 1930's or something like that. There's only so much wrong they could have done in that time. Britain have been around for centuries. The crimes the British government committed in India alone is worse than what Saudi have done. I'm not saying Saudi havent done much. I'm just putting it into perspective.

Britain and most Western nations have progressed from their empire and colonial past, the Saudi's haven't yet and it's 2020.

Newcastle heading into lockdown as we speak.

It's only been 90 odd years since it was founded in its present form. What's to say they won't progress? The British didn't change overnight did they? It took them centuries to take a few steps in the right direction.

I have to say, being a regular visitor to Saudi (every two months for work related issues), they have changed a lot in a short amount of time. There's still a lot to do but it's encouraging to see the difference.

to be fair arab

the saudi got one thing right : don't let wimmin drive

Ashley keeps the £17m.
