I understand not walking away from your club. Personally I couldn't continue to support a team if owned by the Saudi's. But I can see that to walk away could also be seen as letting the money-men win. What I find diffcult to accept is the apparent lack of protest and, indeed, the open...
I don't think anyone doubted they were going to splash the cash to try and avoid relegation.
But as we've seen with other clubs, spending a large amount is not a guarantee of instant success, so my fingers remain firmly crossed...
1. We all have to live with a bit of hypocrisy in our lives. Or we'd hardly ever do anything of value.
2. Not sure exactly where the hypocricy lies here though? Unless you've been holidaying in Saudi Arabia recently, or deliberately buying shares in arms companies with Saudi contracts?
3. I...
Lot's of flags get taken into football stadiums without problems I assume?
I agree it's unlikely the club would actively support any protest (although would be nice if they did). However, if they took proactive action to stop a peaceful protest that would be very bad PR for them. And...
Out of interest, is anyone thinking about organizing something for the newcastle game?
I'd hate to see this simply fade into the background and become accepted as just 'part of how football is now'.
Although history would strongly suggest that is what will happen, and I imagine it's what the...
I'm with Swansman on this. Occam's razor innit.
In the same way that I don't think Kier Starmer is playing the the long game. He's just made some poor decisions and isn't up to the job.
Sorry.
You are allowed to be angry at both. I am.
The FA are worthless. Corrupt. Nobody with their snout in the trough is going to do anything that might risk cutting off the supply of swill.
We should look to the German approach and fan's having control. Ultimately that will need intervention of...
Important message from Shearer to Newcastle fans:
'you can't look the other way...Now I am going to look the other way and encourage you all to do the same'
Lost any lingering respect I might have had for him.
The prick.
'It's always been a bit dodgy, so let's look the other way while the Saudi's buy Newcastle'.
Righto.
Sadly though I think your view will inevitably prevail.
Football is getting boiled like a frog.
Step by step, its soul is being sold, to the highest bidder as a soft power tool for murderers while fans celebrate and look the other way. Money, at the levels it is flowing in to the game from above, is pure poison. Corrupting everything it touches...
