Saudis have pulled out !
I'm surprised 97% of them were in favour of the move. Ashley, who's a bit of a d*ck or a fund backed by an absolute monarchy with a terrible record of human rights and subjugation, and bombing civilians for the last 5 years in Yemen.
Yeah, tough call.
This 100%. I find it staggering that such an overwhelming majority were in favour. Doesn't reflect well on their fanbase at all. So desperate for success they'd be willing for their club to be used to help legitimise a regime like that. I'd hope we'd be different but who knows?
Newcastle are a established premier league club. This is not enough for the fans however somehow feel entitled to be the next Man Utd or Liverpool, despite never performing on such a level.
There are plenty of our fans calling for Gibson to go, soI guess that all fans are similar to some degree. However my view from the outside is that the ridiculous sense of over-entitlement seems particularly strong with the Newcastle fans at the moment.
If that consortium had come to buy Boro, I'd be seriously disappointed and in all honesty walk away from the club. As much as love my home team, its only football at the end of day and it shouldn't be used, as festa5 said, to legitimize a regime with that bad of a reputation.
Think I would too. Maybe a splinter club could be set up, reform the Nops!
