Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

[JimmyJeffers]

Can you blame them? We were all elated when we got bought out. It's an exciting time as fan.

Don’t think we all gathered outside Goodson beeping horns and going mad.

I don't care about them lot, this Newcastle takeover is another team going above Everton - that's what I care about. Pushes us even further back from competing at the top end while their self-entitled fans get what they want.

Another artificial 'big' club. Sigh.

Why is it artificial pal?

 

[KloppShambles]

lol There’s fans celebrating outside st James’!

Protesting, you mean.

Nar they probably wont.

It took City a long, long time and that was without any restrictions.

That's kinda my point, I keep seeing these idiots on TV and whatnot saying about who they are going to sign and what they are going to do next season but like you say it will take at the very least a few years to get going properly imo.

No more odious than Usmanov investing in us, no more odious than the Yanks investing in Liverpool, the Glaziers at United.

Find me a billionaire who isnt morally corrupt.

Saudi Arabia is quite a bit beyond "morally corrupt". Yes usmanov is a shady pig but Newcastle are being bought directly by a state which is involved in funding terrorism, slavery, state sponsored murder, waging war in Yemen etc.

Unfortunately this country itself profits from such a regime, and so I'm not surprised the takeover has gone through.

The world is a bad place.

I bet there were some.

I’m going for Steve Bruce to say “ It’s not about me, it’s about the club. I grew up as a fan remember ! “

And he will have a holiday brochure tucked under his arm and a fat brown envelope in his hand.

The Saudi regime is more corrupt full stop. There are levels.

Usmanov is a Putin puppet.

Russia does everything the Saudis do, but 10 times worse.

So some corruption is okay but not loads? Like 20% corruption vs 90%?

 

[kenada_blue]

First thing on their list....Barca cast offs they want off the wage bill.

 

[Azza]

Not controlled by the Saudi state at all. lol lol

There arent levels.

Good is good, bad is bad.

They are probably confused and got mixed up with the local queue for the chip shop.
