    Thats where I cant get over their NUFC LGBT supporters group. When I read their statement welcoming their new owners I couldnt believe it!
    Be like the German Jewish community welcoming Hitler becoming Chancellor in 1933 by stating that they welcome his arrival and hope to change his parties antisemitic ways through regular dialogue and meeting of minds.
    If I was gay and the Saudi's took over Sunderland I'd like to think I'd be devastated. If our LGBT supporters group brought out a statement like they did I'd be furious!

    Just been reading their LGBT group on twitter. Last month they put post on celebrating LGBT day or something. Cue loads of Saudi's responding in disgust. A Steve Merrick then has the nerve to state 'Admin get on a blocking spree and get rid of the homophobes posting on here. We do not want them associated with our club' After a few posts reminding him of who their owners are he says 'So yeah I get where you are coming from but that doesn’t mean we have to be happy about it or see it on our timelines'

    Speechless!

    Cue our haters & Newcastle Utd has always supported LGBT here it hasn’t changed no matter our bitter jealous & hypocritical haters say on here. They’d call us if we didn’t show support so we can’t win but it’s important because lgbt rights are human rights too

    Ultimately, the club is inclusive, the owners have allowed it to be, despite their beliefs, isnt that all that is expected in society...tolerance?

    Only ball skills that matter are on the pitch . It’s 2022 we’re all United , Newcastle United! HWTL

    (In response to a disgusted Saudi) We do not accept your discriminatory homophobic beliefs. Endorse our culture as much as you want, and put as much oil money into Newcastle as you want. But our values will never be lowered to your standard.

    (In response to a disgusted Saudi) The bigotry is on display from all religions here mate. Magic sky man, who doesn't exist, tells them to hate gays, which he actually doesn't say in any of the books, so they hate gays because their lives are so ****ing sad, they need to believe it will be better when they die

    These comments coming from the plastics man are just disgusting, if you don’t agree with it then you aren’t apart of the toon army simple as, go back and support Man Utd or Liverpool where 99% of you lot came from

    (And the final say goes to this guy, sums it up perfectly.....) Might want to tell your owners about that, and all the new "fans" you've recently gained from that country since you sold your soul for a richer owner. Otherwise the post comes across as disingenuous at best. NUFC: We're inclusive, but not the owners who torture/kill homosexuals.

    It's absolutely incredible.

    These people have such little respect for the opinions of others yet demand total respect for theirs ...

    ... but what they mainly lack is self respect.

    I can partially understand this perspective, though it's not one I agree with. There will be plenty fans uncomfortable with the takeover who then have the choice to walk away from their club or reluctantly accept the situation. I imagine there would be a lot of fans of any club in a similar situation who decide that it's their club no matter who owns it.

    Surely though, it's safe to say that any Newcastle fan who buys that 3rd kit is an absolute whopper? If you really need to buy a shirt, you can buy the home or away kit. Anyone buying the Saudi kit is clearly onboard with the sports washing.

    I agree, and I know plenty whom it doesn't sit easy with. But to come on Radio and say they had no say is a joke. Talksport were on about it a load last night and some fans made good points saying if it were a Southern club no eyelids would be battered.

    They mat not have chosen who bought the club, but the ****ing whoppers didn't have to wear a tea towel on their heads and fly a Saudi flag.

    The hypocrisy of doing that but demanding Ashley be sanctioned for his zero hour contracts, in the hope it would get him out of the club makes the above even worse.

    Craig Hope has his tongue firmly up the hoop of Newcastle fans with his latest "article" in the Daily Fail. Sickening

    100,000 plus did on a petition, but they'll rewrite that from the history books when it suits them!
