Mike Ashley (owner of a leisurewear company and not a known murderer of anyone) apparently. He is just a fiend they say.

I know. It doesn’t get you a fan/club relationship though. Just a place in the top 4. I would take what we have every time. I would also take our previous owner Dick Knight and our place in Divisions 3 and 4 every time.

Fair play to you for arguing your case but a lot of your points sound weak to me. You want a top 4 PL football team over everything else and are willing to back ownership by a murderous regime to get it. I take your point that the authorities should have prevented the takeover but you are...

So dreams of European glory for us and whatever that Belgian club is called need to be binned as well then ?

BHA seem to track players for a year or two before signing. We can’t be the only ones. There will occasionally be opportunistic signings like Lamptey but these are the exception. Newcastle have to organize this from nothing. I’m sure you are right in the very long term but the short term may...

I have a feeling it won’t be as straightforward as they are assuming. World class players won’t join until it is a world class team. For now they are going to have to compete in the same market as Everton, West Ham and maybe even BHA. That’s without having any of the infrastructure to do it but...

Well, which one is it ?

Fergus Sutor ? Jimmy Hill ?

I wonder how many of them will wear this stuff when they come down to our place.

Sadly, I agree. I’ve been enjoying the recent run and quality of entertainment but Newcastle is a reminder of how venal the whole enterprise is.

I see this as smoke and mirrors. They could have prevented this takeover if they were minded but were unable because dubious foreign billionaire ownership is already allowed at a number of PL clubs. We were told at the time of the ESL proposals that the PL is a members organization so for there...

Last time we were up there we left the away end to walk back into the city and walked past a couple of young ladies advertising a distinctly non Sharia club. Having said that, the ruling classes in Saudi do tend to Summer in Europe to sample such delights so I’m sure they won’t see any...

Presumably Lineker will set Shearer straight on MOTD ? He is rightly very vocal on social and human rights issues.

I can understand that. However I have lived away from Sussex for 36 years and always follow the fortunes of whichever club is geographically closest. My second teams have been Darlington, Millwall, Maidenhead Utd, Norwich and now Tranmere. It’s still a day out at the football although the Albion...

Contempt for Newcastle is well deserved. However, we shouldn’t forget the PL. They have squandered the goodwill that came their way at the time of the ESL fiasco. I feel unclean having supported the existing structure and overnight have changed my opinion. To hide behind the claim that the Saudi...

Not sure about protests but I would cancel my ST and support Tranmere instead.
