Imagine virtually an entire fanbase spending months defending a murderous regime and giving it the ‘so what’. Some of their fans giving dogs abuse to the wife of the journo who was chopped into chunks, because she said her piece. Rounding on various human rights groups who opposed it. And then they get blown out by said regime.........imagine that.
Some fans care. But anyone rich enough to think of owning a club in the PL, most definitely has something to hide, you’re right there.
I laughed yesterday cos I'd been reading a Tottenham fans twitter.. All the way through he opposed the takeover, but then when it was announced off he posted " right now that's sorted I hope they buy Tottenham" 10/10 how it is.. Real talk
Indeed I think nufc fans were so desperate to see rid of Ashley that we were happier to accept it than a club that's already in a reasonably good place... I think desperation came into it. I'm the end we've effectively been militised into supporting Saudi and then the ****S pulled out last second...
I know some fans who would oppose it I probably would too tbh once I delved deeper into my thoughts Don’t like the look of that Sheik ****
Like I say I think desperate club with no hope of anything even remotely exciting happening saw little to no opposition for that reason.. There were some who opposed it, but personally I don't care what happens in Saudi one iota. I saw the hypocrisy in it also. I'd never opposed them buying other UK business or buying weapons to blow up children in Yemen, so I feel like I've been consistent and true to myself..
It leaves a sour taste but ultimately I know nothing lasts forever.. I said from day one it doesn't have to be oil rich Arabs or Russian gangsters.. If we get an owner that appears to care about the area, you the development and can simply give us some hope that we can compete for top half and an unlikely cup win I'll be buzzing..
I’m guessing you didn’t oppose them because you didn’t have a jiffy about their human rights record because you didn’t know he existed until he turned up waving his empty wallet. But once you learn about the man...for us normal people it makes us re evaluate our initial opinion of said subject I’m sick of giving you life lessons for free
you don’t have to cry to sleep every night or give your wealth away to show you care you just need to recognise inside you acknowledge that little voice in your head you can tell me whatever you want but you care you care that someone, to cite your example, does not blink an eyelid to murdering children...yes you care you was just too balls deep into his Kaftan
World leaders tend to have blood on their hands.. I genuinely didbt care in all honesty. Some hid behind saying " we don't choose the owner" but if they were allowed to vote they'd never have voted against, so **** that I just said I don't care I want a good team.
Why would I do that? Im a Toon fan you get quite good at handling this kind of thing.. It won't be too long before the next arsehole comes along. I just can't get my around this though. Buying weapons from Britain to blow up children is OK Buying a football team isn't The piracy things a fair argument but human rights I don't get
you forgot to add 'and has blocked the FA from using it's courts for legal recompense for piracy 9 times'
Wo has he Saudi government or PIF? this is the thing you see.. There's no link, so the premier league just at on it hiding behind lack of info.. They couldn't fail it so they just said provide us with a link to the government or we won't pass it either..
don't bother, despite it being reported worldwide for months the geordies are still in denial about it.
Yet they couldn't fail it? Rightly or wrongly the correct process hadn't been followed. As far as we know the explanation I provided is accurate although nobody really knows or ever will know what went on. I think I'm more relieved than you lot.. Calm down lads.. Its OK now
