I have an issue with the fans complaining about this game being rearranged for midweek. I do understand the frustration of having 3 away games in a row, but unfortunately postponed games are very likely to be rescheduled in midweek. And I certainly agree with you about fans getting shafted by TV companies. That I'm 100% with you on. But in the case of this game, you can't complain about it because your club got it postponed. It was never going to be played on a weekend as we're still in the FA Cup.
The irony! Newcastle have a trip to Stamford Bridge this weekend too. Neither purchase should have been allowed.
I did have a laugh when I saw your fixture list for the next three games I must admit, up and down like a fiddler's elbow. Still, it's your choice you don't have to live there.
Having worked for the Crown Prince for past 2 years (not anymore) and presented papers and prepared exhibitions in KSA for him l can state with absolute certainty that NO decision is made, however large or small, without his express input. Yes, there might be a legal agreement at NU but EVERY decision being made concerning NU will have his input and he will have the final say on what happens. So it's convenient for the club, EPL and the Gov. to hide behind this legal agreement, but it means nothing in the real world and certainly not to him.
It took 18 months to prove separation and If there wasn't separation why wasn't it proven. Look I'd rather have had less wealthy owners offering less, but I can't just not support my club and want it to do well. Southamptons last owner was done for blackmailing or something that lead to a murder as I recall, but I didn't see onions crying about that, so I ask him is it the link to crime or the amount of wealth? My grandfather worked in Saudi for years I hope you enjoyed your time there.
Why the fk do people keep banging on about NUFC owners ? where does it stop ? I bet 90 % of glory seeking twats don’t give a flying **** where their teams money come from . I like to think that those 90%. Are less than 20% percent of people who love their club ! Fk this for a game of soldiers .
Most Saints fans spent most of Gao’s ownership wishing him gone, and some of the reasons were those you mention.
On the first paragraph; most business decisions at that level in KSA do not take place in a formal meeting, and they certainly are not recorded or minuted. You will see what is wanted to be seen. Para 2; understood and you have my sympathy regarding your true owner and certainly it should not stop you supporting your life long team. Para 3; dodgy wealthy businessman from one of the most corrupt countries in the World (China). Agreed, not ideal although its a little comparing apples and pears between the two l would suggest. Para 4; it had its challenges, essentially you are their chattel when you are there, having lived for several years before in Dubai, l know which one l preferred!!
I said it when Newcastle were bought, and I’ll say it again now: The horse has bolted. The premier league sold its soul a long time ago. I see no point in the hatred toward Newcastle when so many clubs before have been allowed to accept criminal blood money; and I include saints in that. I personally ****ing hate it all, but the truth is there’s nothing the fans & communities can do about it so we might as well support our teams and hope for the best. It will be nice to see a club with proper fans like Newcastle smash the glory clubs like United, arsenal, Liverpool etc.
Meanwhile back in the world of football, I am really not expecting a good outcome tonight. The stars are aligned for a Newcastle win. Hope I’m wrong but they have been very good lately. Please JWP prove me wrong! #Bedwetters R us
It is actually quite sad that fans hope for big money takeovers rather than growing their local talent. Newcastle was a successful club when it was a working mans game, but now success comes at a cost. We'll be hated for simply supporting our club..we always did. Nobody here thinks blowing people up or killing journalists is acceptable, but we love our club and are a proud city. Lastly I understand peoples issues with Saudi money.
We're still pretty **** tbh mate.. We've had good results but ridden our luck. I hope we see Manq max and gamereas in our side, but the 11 that played Brighton is pretty crap.
