Geordie's shocked at their club now representing Saudi Arabia on their new away kit...

Are they? Quite a lot of the replies seem to be Geordies screaming about why no-one cared about Man City's sportswashing (they did) or Chelsea's (they also did). They've got their bi money owners, and the owners have 60,000 saudi advocates defending their every move

Lots not happy about it, what did they expect

Ha Eddie Howe, already being deemed not high profile enough to attract big names, he was never going to be anything other than a stop gap.
As Jose Mourinho touted as the next manager at Saudi Park…

I am no Eddie Howe fan but I wouldn’t be vaguely surprised. Sacking the manager who blasted them to mid table whilst changing the away kit to Saudi colours and appointing Mourinho sounds like it could backfire spectacularly next season if they don’t hit the ground running :thumbsup:

Yet somehow he's put up for manager of the season over Potter who is above him on the table and been in charge the whole season.

PL are a dogshit organisation.

His record is P26 W12 D5 L9 pts 41 ppg 1.58. That's better than MU & West Ham this season.

His 'consecutive matches without a win' record is probably better than GPott's, even if you started them both in August. :dunce:

Appointing Mourinho, please do it. That would be epic fail territory

Ridiculous scenes on the pitch at SJP last night, with not just Staveley joining in the players’ lap of honour :facepalm: but also Ant and ****ing Dec! :shrug:

I read that as 'Shevley joining ...' and thought



Firm but fair.

They will spunk millions and zillions of £££££s this summer as well as kicking smug out along with his cheating aggressive bullyboy on pitch tactics and his coiffured orange sidekick Sancho Panza

Mourinho really is the ultimate example of someone getting jobs based on their name rather than their recent record at this stage

Smug is history in the summer but he will be incredibly happy about his repaired managerial reputation and his enhanced bank balance.
