They may break into the elite clubs in the next couple of seasons but it all stinks and not sure how happy I’d be with it if I supported them. Thank goodness for NSWE.

jacketspuds Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 The next thing will be signing a Saudi Arabian international for £2m and selling him to a mystery club for £400m six months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 That third kit is disgusting, and to be fair even most Newcastle fans seem to agree. There's something disgusting about the use of Saudi colours being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I love, love the idea from Newcastle fans that they are going to sell over a million shirts in Saudi alone to get around FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for them having approved the takeover on the basis that the Saudi state would have no control or influence. It owns 80% of the club, Majed al Sorour the chief executive of the Saudi Golf Federation (which finances the new golf league) has now been appointed a director of the club. It seems the FA are happy for them to do whatever they like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they'll just get a few friendly store owners to "buy" a few hundred thousand of them, store them in a warehouse for years, and claim they were sold. Easily manipulated when they're able to claim that its captured the locals imagination to have a team owned by their leaders (but not) and playing in their countries colours.

Mark Albrighton Posted May 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17, 2022 You can still laugh at these, you know guys. It might not happen as often, but there will still be opportunity. Man City are way beyond us and are on course to win the league again, but despite that, I’m fairly confident there was a teeny bit of smirking following their recent trip to Spain. Maybe the focus of amusement will be the Geordies continued claim that they’re at the forefront at bringing a more progressive way of thinking to the minds of football fans in the Saudi region.

The_Steve Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Always will be a scummy club. Entitled fan base now on steroids with Saudi blood money. They deserve to fail, to be mocked and considered what is morally wrong with football. Hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Arsenal looked terrible yesterday. These word removeds have got 36 points from 19 games. Surely that form with those players is unsustainable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
