How in gods green **** did this "consortium" pass the fitness test for ownership of a PL football club? I mean, Abramovich had "appropriated" **** awarded to him by the Russian government......30 years ago, and he gets hounded from the country, yet these guys are beheading children and they are ****ing A-okay Ridiculous
Well they ****ing should be! And I assume you mean our Ex-owner, Boehly is on my sanction list though, for being a giant cock smeer.
That’s ok then if this list, no doubt compiled by grade A ****s, says they are ok then they must be ok
Your current majority shareholder Clearlake Capital manages billions of pounds of PIF money. They will be in deep **** if someone in government decides companies doing business with Saudi should be sanctioned.
Not one whisper about Man City and human rights because football has got over it and accepted it. The Nufc hypocritical tantrums will stop eventually.
There has been loads of criticism about Man City over the years, why should Newcastle be anymore immune from it? It's quite simply not tantrums, it's your own owners being part of a state that are passing down death sentences... https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/n...omise-to-abolish-death-penalty-for-juveniles/ Imagine when you stole that land from the council, even though you may of eventually put it right, it was still theft, maybe you should be flogged to death as punishment, you wouldn't be so blase' about it then - but luckily for you, the UK don't pass down such sentences, yet.
There's a few articles here and there , but not the same as what's thrown at Newcastle. It's also totally ignored the fact the Premier leagues lawyers couldn't prove Newcastle would be owned by the state. It'll be the same when Qatar buy Man united and I doubt we'll see the same levels of noise , but if I'm wrong I'll be happy to concede. Most the people piping have never made a complaint about Saudi investment anywhere else until they realised it would ruin their own weekends. For the genuine humanitarians fair play but these guys only bothered about Saudi money in Newcastle while watching the boxing and ignoring the bigger amounts of Saudi money coming into our economy are fake. I won't be popular for saying this ,but I didn't care what was going on in Saudi, Qatar or anywhere else before Newcastles takeover... maybe I should have, but I still don't. I'm just a awful basically... a selfish bastard when push comes to shove.
aint we all man. Chelsea got this **** for years, so would City fans, if they had any. Your owners do seem to be the worst of them all though,
of course you won't care about heads rolling off their human occupants in Saudi from Newcastle, it's a bit like Bod pretending to care about Russians slaughtering Ukranians from a dinghy on the Thames.
I don't care tbh. Fact we are even chatting about it 1 year after the fact is surprising. Same people constantly bringing it up, happen to also be the same clubs directly competing now with this new money. Same ol football story. People are acting like its Red Bull buying Leipzig, like circumventing the rules to bully minnows in our league who can barely afford half time food. Except before the takeover at Newcastle, Chelsea were owned by an oil baron, Man City owned by a state, Wolves owned by a Chinese conglomerate, Leicester owned by Thai dictators, Tottenham owned by ENIC who have their own dodgy history, Everton owned by a Russian billionaires accountant. Like, oh woe is us, the sanctity of the beautiful game is gone. Give me a break. Get out and protest against the Gov dealing with Saudi, get em on a sanctions list and they'll piss off. Or do nothing
