First congrats on the new owners.. 

While I share a level of angst with allowing the Saudi's own a team in Premier League I have come to realize most of that is wrapped up in my concern of being booted out of the top 4. Therefore, I have to check my motives before placing my ire unto a fanbase or football club. I am also careful to condemn regimes because in the end I will condemn my own. My country (USA) has made war into a sport and has participated in the murder of innocents since our inception. Even with that knowledge I still love my country and believe I am blessed to have been born here. Individuals can still love something and not fully support all the actions of the owners or leaders. 

 

The clutching of pearls that is occurring has made me realize how much subjectivity enters into psyche of man. While bashing Newcastle for selling to the Saudi's the person who is bashing is likely using petrol or an iphone that was produced by the Saudi's or by forced labor. Most people are only moral up to the point of their comfort is assured and not tested. 

 

Anyway... Glad you have come out the other-side with new ownership.

I appreciate the thought and introspection that went into this post. We're all struggling with it too honestly, but have broadly come to the same conclusion.

Given who it is from, I'm not sure I'd be too worried, pretty poor taste none-the-less.
