    There is no link to the Saudis showing that piracy was state run. The link is their inaction.

    They have mitigated this by closing down beoutQ.

    basically the people that want it stopped went out looking for ways to stop it from day 1.. the leaks on company house may well have ruined this ... if they just STFU it would have just gone through nb

    What have our government done about piracy in this country?

    It’s easy to watch Saturday 3pm fixtures in England if you have a Firestick and a brain cell, or even a friend who has a brain cell.

    Read the UEFA report. It's irrefutable evidence.

    Well can you just keep that position instead of dancing to the media click bait headlines?

    It's the blind ****ing ignorance of seemingly educated people that staggers me. The media are always going to play a game and put out apocalyptic headlines to suit their agenda. Almost every article includes a disclaimer about "expected approval" yet masses of people simply get suckered into a headline. Here are just some of the facts that seem to escape attention:

    - PIF are not linked to BeoutQ in any conceivable way.
    - MBS will not be on the board or named as an owner of NUFC
    - PIF will not be the named owners of the football club, it will be a private entity or holding company with directors who themselves will be so far removed from the allegations as you or me.
    - The "owner/director" test purports only to the owners and directors. The source of funds - as long as proven to be viable from whichever source - doesn't come into the test.

    The whole point is if there was no internet, how nervy would we be? Actually, if there was no internet, I don't think the hatred for Ashley would be anywhere near as high as it is. Stable club, 13th, Geordie in charge, £40m striker, interest free debt. For the basic info you could get without the internet, the club looks ok. Under-achieving, but ok. Now we have countless stories about the clubs to encourage clicks to sell advertising space. Welcome to Capitalism. Good for your personal liberty, but very bad for your health.

    @Captain Chaos

    My response yesterday to you.

    Sums up my position from day one. Note the I don’t know if approval from the PL has been given or not but am optimistic and giving the reason why.

    hold on a fair blinking minute.

    giving it billy big balls on the plans once this was completed. Who was gonna be manager, what new facilities were being planned and who was signing....blowing all out of the water.

    But always with a sprinkle of uncertainty

    So whats wrong with me saying that from day one and now saying I have a major doubt? just let me have my opinion... it can change based on the info ... obvs others like to dismiss what they don't like hearing ... that's fine


    I'm just me

    Because you change your view from day to day based on clickbait headlines and not based on any facts or change in facts. That is what I’m getting at. You can have your opinion and you can change your opinion but please do so based on facts or changes in facts not on what Keys claims etc.

    well I wish I knew everything from fact and fiction on this like you

    and stop with the wild assertions about what I consider to be an issue I've had this with you before mate.

    if you don't like other people's opinions you're in the wrong place

    Exactly this. The "new" WTO article was written a fortnight ago and didn't reference Newcastle's takeover. The editor rehashed it to make it a "problem" as clickbait. The ACTUAL report was from April 2019. It doesn't connect PIF and BeoutQ. Saudi Govt shut down BeoutQ within 6 months. There's no BeoutQ therefore no existing, outstanding example of piracy, let alone any link between PIF and piracy. Furthermore, no criminal claims have been brought against PIF. The one claim made in France from Qatar against Saudi was dismissed from a French court.

    There is a concerted and utterly transparent Qatar-led smear campaign, which is being propped up by a handful of activists (though not many) and a great number of journalists desperate to increase website footfall. Legally, it's all utter ****ing bollocks and if anyone is getting bipolar about it then remove yourself from the internet.
