The Moustache of Teale Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 56 minutes ago, osmark86 said: I think we might see a few from other teams' fans I sincerely hope we do. It’s shocking that the much of the mainstream media and almost all football ‘pundits’ have failed to call out the appalling values, crimes and human rights of Newcastle’s owners. Comments such as other teams’ fans being jealous serves only to highlight the ignorance of most of them. I wouldn’t swap Villa’s position for Newcastle’s in a million years. After a rough few years we’re building something great here. Newcastle United and it’s proud history died a death when that takeover went through. Very soon, if not already, it won’t be just Sunderland that despises them. Jealous my arse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clowns The MP was clearly just chasing local support and hoping to boost their poll numbers. I wouldn't be surprised if they either don't even know who Wonga are or if they have shares in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffin Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 3 hours ago, sharkyvilla said: I suspect there is zero chance of any of that happening, least of all any player signing in the expectation that Bruce will be manager there for any significant time. I'd also like to think McGinn is the kind of person to not want to play for the Saudis, assuming he (and many other players) know anything about the regime. I don't think that any player would think Bruce is longterm but I think he would be close enough to McGinn to make him think about a move and a triple or quadruple of salary could help sway him. I don't think players will be too bothered playing for Toon on the basis of the connection to Saudi Arabia. Qatar has a big human rights problem and that didn't stop players signing for Barcelona or PSG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their transfer dealings over the next 2 to 3 years could have a very long lasting impact if they get it wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 7 hours ago, osmark86 said: Personally it makes me a little disgusted seeing some Newcastle fans cheer on this takeover. My wife has family that have lived in and fled Saudi Arabia (she's of Eritrean decent). I spoke to one of her cousins who lived there who had witnessed many public executions as a child/teen and he's scarred from the experiences. Had this been Aston Villa I would feel awful and be very conflicted about supporting the club under such a regime. Football is so capitalistic and gross in general these days that it's becoming harder and harder to enjoy it as the years go by. This is just another event in football that has left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Fully agree, and seeing Newcastle fans celebrating wearing masks of bin Salman is disgusting, like someone would have a mask of Saddam Hussein and cheering him. It's so sad really, especially as I quite like Newcastle, now I despise them most of all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Linked with a loan move for Lenglet at Barcelona in January if their reported move for Matthijs de Ligt fails. They should probably focus on staying in the league before they start trying to sign players who could get in to most teams in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take all these "links" with a pinch of salt. They will be linked to everybody now, just to generate interest and clicks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
