But I don’t think football even care about that, look at PSG. That is literally a state run club, and they don’t even try to hide it, yet their president has been elected the chairman of the facking ECA and is on the executive board of UEFA.

Well yes that does stink a bit! It's the natural progression though when you make football a business. There's money and prestige being attached to a premier club. Even though we've not been great recently I'm certain there would still be a queue of buyers if the Glazers decided to sell up.

It is, but I think there’s somewhere where you need to draw a line. I know football doesn’t think that way, or care, but that’s my biggest issue.

They all voted Tory up there, I doubt they'll be too bothered about a country that promotes terrorism.

Newcastle’s been Labour for decades.

Was Labour for decades until they fell for the Brexit lies.

Newcastle voted remain, and every constituency in the area voted Labour at the last election. Not that it matters anyway, Manchester is Labour and that hasn’t stopped City fans using mental gymnastics to deny their owners moral bankruptcy.

Newcastle are the only Premier League side in the North East of England. They pull in supporters from a hundred mile radius including all the 'Red Wall' areas.

A 100 mile radius a 300 mile radius would cover a majority of the country ffs, so a little silly.

So 100 miles is the same distance as 300 miles now?

Point being you said Newcastle, and then a few posts later changed it to a 100 mile radius. That is a huge area in UK terms.

To put it in perspective your 100 mile radius incorporates Edinburgh, Leeds a majority of northern Manchester, Huddersfield, Blackurn, Preston, Hull, Blackpool not to mention bitter rival cities Boro and Sunderland.

There's no way Newcastle is a 100 miles from Blackburn and Manchester surely.

Manchester is just over 100 miles from Newcastle as the crow flies. The UK is tiny.
