When Neymar signs for ICI Wilton, I'll raise my eyebrows. I totally share your rage about how all the family silver of Britain is basically being put up for sale by vampires who know the price of everything but the value of nothing, but you can blame George Osbourne and Cameron for getting the auction started.SABIC was established by the Government of Saudi Arabia as a 100% state-owned company. SABIC’s shares were listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange in 1984, at which time the Government divested 30% of its shareholding in SABIC. Not so private Then. Don't let the fact get in the way of the truth.
Agreed, but saving jobs is a very different ballpark to creating a global footballing superpower, brand and PR machineI'm certainly not in a rage. I only raised the fact that Saudi money is saving a Teesside chemical plant, which is very good news. Some people are very selective of the facts. Saudi money saves NUFC. People are going mad with the thought of it. Saudi money saves a Chemical plant not a mummer of decent.
'saves NUFC' suggests the club was in financial dire straits does it not? That was hardly ever the case. Ashley was a vampire who sucked the soul of the club and used their large fanbase as a cash machine but the books will be in excellent order.I'm certainly not in a rage.

Sunderland are in the quarter final of the carabao cup. Imagine Newcastle in the championship next season with Sunderland with a cup under their belts and playing in Europe!I can see them spending a fortune in January as they very much be imbedded in the bottom 3 even with new manager .
It would be very Newcastle to get relegated after spending £250m in a January window ……… and absolutely hilariously
theyl be under 20pts in January so will need 25 or so points with a new side built in January. The right manager will be important but so many don’t feel it will
Stop changing the subject. The thread is about dirty Saudi money. You stated SABIC was a private company. Now you are jumping on the "save NUFC" which was a possibly the wrong terminology.'saves NUFC' suggests the club was in financial dire straits does it not? That was hardly ever the case.

At the end of day IMHO 90% of fans and clubs in the NUFC situation would take the "Dirty" Saudi money. Just like a failing chemical company accepted "Dirty" Saudi money to progress the business

A geordie who's trying to normalise the Saudi takeover of the skunks.I genuinely, honestly don't understand the point you are trying to make?
Oh the threads been hijacked, a quick look at the OP and the subject was Newcastle being taken over and people have commented as they wish, without the mention of dirty money in the OP.. Got to be truthful I would love the money the mags have to come to Boro but NOT at any cost, which is turning a blind eye to the sufferings of other people and to also be part of a process which sweeps that suffering under the carpet while my clubs on field success took all the attention.Stop changing the subject. The thread is about dirty Saudi money.
and not one mention of a journalist being brutally murdered and dismembered on the orders of the Ruler.
Exactly what my point was a few weeks ago that no one would accept, the only reason most are bothered is because it’s happening to a club they don’t likeI see Sabic chemicals on Teesside have been saved by an injection of £1 billion of Saudi money. I cannot see any objections and banners on here ? Strange that.
not really, I quite like Hartlepool but would go off them if the saudi royals bought into them, I'm indifferent to rugby, but if they bought Harlequins I would hate that club. There are many fans who were indifferent to Newcastle who are angry about this, even fans of lower league clubs so wouldn't be at risk by itExactly what my point was a few weeks ago that no one would accept, the only reason most are bothered is because it’s happening to a club they don’t like
