Topic: Newcastle United - Property of Saudi Arabia

[bradders1011]

Who's running their medical department, Dr. Zoidberg?

[Asam]

Anthony Gordon is the biggest cheat in England and gets away with it every week

[GreatEx]

Next time he tries that I hope his leg breaks like Djibril Cisse's did all those years ago

[JRed]

Is it safe to call Anthony Gordon a sewer rat? Or will someone be along to defend him?

I see Eddie Howe has been wailing another tale of woe to the media - saying *gasp* that they may have to manage the club's spend properly in the summer. It's obviously part of a wider discourse which will continue to ramp up in the coming months, aiming to remove spending restrictions for the state-owned clubs. Meanwhile the Geordies are going full Ev, with the 'cabal' line being trotted out regularly They were spending more than any other club in Europe a while back, but rather than using that as the foundation to run the club properly and within their means, they just want to fling huge wads of cash at it until something sticks. I find it absolutely hilarious that their financial nirvana has coincided with the tightening of restrictions. Long may it continue.

They are trying to sell next seasons shirts exclusively through their own website and JD Sports (in a nice little fuck you to Mike Ashley and Sports Direct)

Sports Direct are now suing under competition law to overturn the exclusivity agreement with JD sports

[Black Bull Nova]

They have to have special tills in the Newcastle area so that fans wearing the shirts don't register as cleaning products when they go near the barcode readers

Howe's tales of hard times woe are wearing a bit thin.  He's spent over £400m and not sold anyone of note (Saint-Maximin to Saudi Arabia was the only player that was anywhere near the first team).  He likes to say how they might need to sell players but they turned down bids for Trippier and Wilson in January so they don't exactly seem desperate to move players on.

If Guimaraes leaves in the summer then it will be because he's too impatient for the sportswashing to pay off and not because Newcastle need the money.  They will magic up income to meet whatever their transfer ambitions are.  The P&S rules will slow them down but if Saudi Arabia remain interested in using Newcastle as a sportswashing vehicle then they'll spend their way to the top eventually.

What's £37m among friends?...

I love the whataboutery comparing 1 share for £37m to FSG selling nearly 4% of Liverpool for around $200m.  Like the two things are even comparable.

So now there's 9 shares in KSA United.

'Saudi football player whipped by fan after Super Cup final defeat':-

www.independent.co.uk/tv/sport/saudi-super-cup-final-player-whipped-al-ittihad-b2527620.html (with video)





'A supporter appeared to whip an Al-Ittihad player in an astonishing incident at the end of the Saudi Super Cup final on Thursday night (11 April).

The disgraceful scene unfolded after Al-Hilal won the final 4-1 to stay on course for an unprecedented quadruple.

At full-time, Al-Ittihad striker Abderrazak Hamdallah was seen arguing with a fan as he made his way off the pitch, and appeared to throw water in their direction.

The man responded by lashing the player with a whip, hitting him at least once.

Hamdallah scored his side’s only goal in the heavy defeat.'

Called out some Geordie supporters on Twitter when they were stating that they had the money to demolish some student accomodation which is stopping the expansion of St James Park, i stated they had the 'blood' money - which of course, set them off.....we thought it was oil money not blood money, you didn't care before Oct 21, you dont know anything about Saudi Arabia and so on.

I never realised just how many ostriches lived in the North East until the Saudis washed the blood from their hands in the Tyne. Now, all you see is black and white arses sticking up in the air while their heads are comfortably buried in the sand.

Hopefully if Newcastle don't qualify for Europe they'll pick a player out of a hat and give them a public flogging in front of the Geordie nation, bring over that bloke with a whip for the last game.

I mean, what’s worse, a nation that considers promoting women’s rights a terrorist act, or Mike Ashley?

Well, Mike did commit all manner of atrocities on the Geordie nation, so he's clearly the real bad guy here.

[RedSince86]

They are a bunch of weapons on X.

Had one constantly tagging me for a few weeks trying to goad me into "debate", ended up blocking him.

He was adamant that we'd get De Zerbi and that Edwards would never come back and they would be replacing us once Jurgen left and bragging how they'll buy any top player with have with the Aramco money who are gonna sponsor the stadium.

Hove? He'd love the vibrant gay culture.

'Some student accommodation' is actually a late Georgian built terrace - Leazes Terrace - and it's directly behind their East Stand. It's a Grade 1 listed building and sits in a conservation area. I know the Saudi solution to any problem is to throw money at it, but this building isn't getting demolished anytime soon and I doubt it ever will.

I've come across numerous things online where they are going on about demolishing Leazes Terrace. It's yet more of that nauseatingly entitled attitude that often comes with obscene wealth.

The Saudis have a history knocking old shit down. Just look at Mecca & Medina.

He thinks Mike Ashley’s human rights record is despicable and he’s just thankful the Geordies have their club back.
