Btw don't get excited thinking that they'll take any media heat off of us. We'll have a brief reprieve of a week or so whilst the story is hot and then we'll be back to being centre of attention again until 6 years from now when Newcastle do something that might threaten Liverpool and/or United.

No I think Newcastle are the new hot topic and it'll stay that way. Same way Chelsea's ownership was swept under the rug once we came along. Newcastle will be the main focus of attention imo.

Not that I’m defending the UAE regime (and I may be completely wrong here), but they’re a lot more moderate than the Saudi’s. It definitely makes our owners seem less bad, so to speak.
 
Another £1b or so circulating in the game over the next few years.
UK still takes quite a lot of Saudi oil and trades mega (defence) deals with the Saudis, and they continue to be a strategic ally in the middle east.
Nobody should complain
 
Think it’s safe to say that we’ll see a fixture change on the 18th of December… I’ve no doubt it’ll be rolled out as the battle of the barrels.

Just watching an interview with Amanda Staveley who has been key to this whole takeover and is now a director
Fuck me! She looks like a badly made Spitting Image puppet, shes going to have a hard time around the grounds
Mind , she might well be a nice girl

bit too much bottox me thinks?? Shame really as she is a good looking girl regardless.
 
One piece of good news, one piece of bad !

BAD : Newcastle will have enough money to pay the scum silly money for their ‘quality’ cast offs, resulting in more revenue for the scum.

GOOD : Thank FUK this didn’t happen when Bobby Robson (RIP) was in charge, that would of been interesting.

Other than this, I’m happy there’s the chance of a new club fighting for top 6(initially).
 
Pleased for them - they’ve been held hostage for years and forced to tread water.

It’ll be very interesting to see how closely they follow the City blueprint. Will they go after a strong core of current England players like we did? Will they go straight out for a galactico? Will we see a French or Spanish team in barcodes soon? Who’s going to be their Joleon Lescott, Gareth Barry etc?

Seems the gimps on Sky News are talking a lot of the brutal regime and expecting people to care as they show real emotion toward all those that are celebrating the takeover. But why the emotion, they are just doing paper talk?

The reason, they are fans of certain clubs or like to use these things to grandstand their views. We all know that the KSA regime does not align with our own WRT human rights but it’s also understood that we, as a country, don’t mind taking their money for big business, and government, to take their cut.

BBC news press review went all city bingo even got Thaskin in along with slagging Newcastle off.

The pain is very funny especially getting us into every sentence.
 
Oh dear....

Fat Mike saying that the Saudi £305million was not the highest offer he received

'I've known for some time now that many Newcastle fans were frustrated by the situation and were in favour of a change.

'I therefore felt that I owed it to the fans to fight tooth and nail over the last 18 months or so to make this happen.

He's full of shit, it's always about the money with him

Any way, good riddance to the fat bastard.

Ashley claims £305m Saudi offer for Newcastle was NOT highest offer

Mike Ashley's 14-year reign as owner ended on Thursday and while fans protested to force him out, he has opened up on why his decision to take the Saudi offer was in the best interests of the club.

Were United and Liverpool the two clubs opposing this deal? Which had noting to do with them being the main beneficiaries of Saudi Arabian sponsorship money for well over a decade.

We all remember those articles from Delaney et al about them being state funded? It would have been around the same time all those anti-Arsenal columns were in every paper when they signed that huge sponsorship deal with Emirates.
