Saudis have form with getting involved in the wrong people in football - they hired Jimmy Hill in the 70s.
flicked onto sky sports news "this is the greatest day of me life, even better than when me bairn was born". Really?
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/foo...takeover/ar-AAPfAYc?li=BBoPWjP&ocid=ACERDHP15 Listen to this nobody. Aye Paul, you will be on Championship wages next season, when you're kicked out of the door. Give us a wave as we pass you on the way up, won't you? Instead of giving interviews, you need to be giving your agent a ring to find you a new club. Your simply not good enough for the Premier League. PS: Thanks for the six in a row
After years of shouting at shops, smashing phone boxes up, punching horses, parading coffins, flying misspelled bedsheets all ower and generally being a bunch of obnoxious deluded gravy stained ****ers you really need to ask yourself this. Why would we, a club with new rich owners trying to build a real self financed future with transparent plans be jealous of murdering Saudi scum. Enjoy the rest of your unwashed life marra.
"Homosexuality and being transgender are widely seen as immoral and indecent activities in Saudi Arabia, and the law punishes acts of homosexuality or cross-dressing with fines, public whipping, beatings, chemical castrations, imprisonment up to life, the death penalty (though it has not been applied for homosexuality alone) and torture." It's little insignificant things like this that makes me glad we've got KLD and not people that hold these beliefs. I wonder how gay Newcastle fans feel about it. I also wonder if their straight fans care about that.
"The Premier League has now received legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control Newcastle United Football Club. This is despite the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, being listed as chair of PIF." Seems legit. Whole thing stinks.
Can anybody enlighten me regarding all of the crying that "we've got our club back"? I genuinely don't understand what this means as no fan owns the club in the first place, the club owns them - their allegiances, their heart, their soul, their passion. I think what is being said is that - "I was not willing to support the club when it was owned by an English billionaire who used to turn up to matches and be adored (until we hounded him and his friends away because he didn't blow his entire fortune on our club) but I am now willing to support the club now that we have substantially more money than God despite the fact that we are now owned by a State well known for dubious human rights practices that make the previous owner appear a paragon of virtue in comparison (as long as you remember to splurge vast quantities of your wealth on our football club)." Is that what is meant by "getting our club back"?
