    This could be a masterclass in how to get free publicity for SD in these strange times by agent Ashley. Probably not , but how I would chorttle. :emoticon-0116-evilg

    Very interesting times right now. As the world rallies against an oppressive, prejudicial regime the geordies are begging for the chance to welcome an even worse one with open arms. I wonder how many of them have made BLM post in the last few days whilst praying for the Saudis to be allowed to sportswash their crimes

    over on RTG the poster Grants seems to think its going ahead in the next 2 weeks, in tandem with the purchase of ' a big northern company' . could this be a way to get around FFP by injecting money into the club through a new sponsor (owned by them) or is that too transparently dodgy? the lad doesn't seem a typical bullshitter, although he does hint of BZG interest in SAFC, which i find a bit doubtful. readily admits to being a mag as well, so not a snidey poster.

    Think every mag I know thinks it’s going ahead and not one of them are thinking that there’s organisations that are apposed to it. Their blindfolds are on to nothing, the only thing they see is the Saudis. I said it since the start I personally don’t think it’ll go through as they have form For building the geordie nations hopes up. I’m not ITK by the way I just don’t think it’ll go through as far as the “going ahead in the next two weeks” Well we’ve heard this the last 2 months from them.

    It is interesting to see what is possibly upsetting the FA in deciding whether or not the sand pit dwellers are fit and proper to run a football club. It's not that Saudi planes bomb hospitals in the Yemen, or that their ruler ordered the dismemberment of a journalist in a embassy (even Trump has not done that) or that women/gays etc are treated like ****, or public flogging or hands being cut off, it is that they may be involved in illegally streaming games, putting the fees that the FA get from other bodies for televising games at risk.

    Football is great is it not, eg as I mentioned yesterday, in the 4 professional leagues it is every club for itself, and sod the others!

    Never seen one. Best off asking Martyn McFadden about those. You could fetch a photo of Pasmore's Pavilion through. All the Mags know that famous Tyneside landmark like the back of their hand. 11358635_450_450_676_0_fit_0_39151221c07d093e65c0cfa01cd29d57.jpg

    Nobody knows anything. I'm sick of the speculation to be honest. If it happens, great, and if not I'll move on. Too many neurotic fans out there messaging the PL or dossing about on helicopter watch. I wish I was joking, alas I am not!
