Bruce and his team out. New team in. Small changes around the place (maybe the sportdirect boards down) private jets everywhere. Petrol money for the people who pick Geordie Gazza up 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, like scouts and directors of football. Bacon rolls surely? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19841 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I got loads of shit for making the same points on here when the takeover was first announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19841 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) I’m torn between both POV tbh and still feel conflicted. On the one hand the Saudi regime is abhorrent and I’d rather our club wasn’t associated with them. On the other, if they didn’t buy us they were just going to put their cash in somewhere else. As long as these are the rules of the game, why not enjoy the ride? We don’t make the rules. You don’t choose your football club, you can’t stop supporting it just because the people who own it are vile. We didn’t choose the Saudis nor we did we choose Ashley.

The truth is we all wanted it to happen and we're all prepared to more or less turn a blind eye because we're in the very fortunate position of not actually having been able to influence this at all. So we get the benefits with plausible deniability. I don't think any of us were under any illusions about what Saudi stood for before this takeover was on the radar though. But we can simply shrug and say "this is the world we live in". Because it is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34635 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) I wasn't remotely prepared for giving a shit about NUFC again. I had fully checked out of NUFC and football in general because there was literally no point in having an interest in a club that was only concerning itself with maintaining its existence. I know there are people who stuck with them, and who will think I'm a cunt, and they'll be right. So aye, I don't really know what my point is here. The Saudis are total bastards, but they've given me back an interest in football, and now I get to take the piss out of CT in the Newcastle Forum as well as in General Chat, and I don't think people talk about this enough when they list all the bad stuff that the Saudis have done.

Monkeys Fist 38842 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 The truth is we had absolutely fuck-all say in it, just like we’ve fuck-all say in the way Ashley ran us in to the ground. Blaming fans is utterly misguided, blame the fuckers who Ok’d the deal, because they’re the ones who had the power to stop it, but didn’t. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34635 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 The stuff in the article about having a minute's silence the next time an LGBT (surely no one is trying to pull off being a T in Saudi btw) person is beheaded. That would be incredible. But it's also literally incredible to imagine a football stadium ANYWHERE doing that. So to put it on Newcastle and say "well this is what you could be doing".... Sorry, but unfortunately, no. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Doh'liver 219 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I'll read it later, but I'll tell everyone now, it will make sod all difference to how I feel about the takeover. The country is already raking in blood money in so many ways, it's why SA are favoured trading partners. The sheikhs of Man City have made sure they are top of the tree, and the Russian gangster has got Chelsea going head to head with a nod and a wink from Poison pal Putin. We didn't ask for football to go this way, it's just the world we live in now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
