All this faux outrage is laughable. Many on here said, long before the takeover was approved, that the government would have a word.Hopefully it's also no surprise that very few people, if any associated with Newcastle give a shit about these attacks.
I actually enjoy the attacks because it shows we're getting to them and I love that. I just wish our owners would get together with your owners and maybe do some challenging in court regarding some of these rules that the league bring in to try and stifle competition to keep the so called big clubs in their lofty positions.
I'm not sure you're right.Ah! You're making the same mistake the racists make, though not for the same reason I hasten to add.
Your owners are Saudis, ours are Emiratis, why would they have common purpose? Ah! Well they're both Arabs and Arabs are etc, etc....
Think on this, the Glazers are Jewish, so is Daniel Levy, they were both driving forces for the European Super League, but no one is suggesting their Jewishness has anything to do with that, or heaven forfend the fact that they both, in their different ways, gouge their respective clubs. Their Jewishness is immaterial and anyone suggesting otherwise would be heavily condemned.
But when it comes to Arab owners all sorts of commonalities are inferred, usually hidden behind the fig leaf of state owned, oil clubs etc, but it's all just a cover, they're talking about Arabs and we all know what Arab

Well done for smashing down the doors but now be prepared for the media to do a number on you. When you lift your first trophy (in this era) be ready for a shit storm.
I'm not sure you're right.
All Mick is saying, (I think) is we both have owners that have broken through the cosy cartel. Both can see how devious the cartel are in the desperate attempts to remain where the money is and perhaps, by joining forces, we can take them on.
The media will never give us a fair hearing so maybe the courts are the only option. I do not necessarily agree as I'm sure our owners have already looked at that option but ......

Spurs are going to be very busy if they're attacking every team that could finish ahead of them over the next few seasons.I do like the way your owners are a bit more 'fuck you' than ours with this sort of thing. You will find that once you are an established threat to the old sky four and (fucking) spurs the attacks will ramp up I think.
Well said. There is just a lot of ignorance out there. In the real world the Saudis are one of our biggest trading partners. They invest billiions in the UK creating thousands of jobs. They are one of our strongest allies in the Gulf region especially in sharing intelligence. It would be absurd to turn down external investment from any country (or individual) at this difficult time. We would have no trading partners left (including China and the USA) if we turned away investment because of human rights issues. You can debate the morals of this position but this is the reality for every country in the world.The comments I made had nothing to do with both clubs being Arab owned. It was about both clubs being held back by other clubs who think they have the god given right to have everything their own way, so they try to stifle competition. All they’re interested in is maintaining the status quo for their own benefit.
Our club is owned by a consortium of three companies who have people at their head who are, Arab (Yasir Al-Rumayyan), Jewish (Jamie Rueben), Christian (Amanda Staveley) and Iranian (Mehrdad Ghodoussi) and that's irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.
I don’t look at people in any way other than the type of people they are, whether they are good or bad people or are good or bad at their jobs as in this case it effects the club. Anything else about them doesn't matter.
That's how Daniel Levy spends a lot of his time. He is fixated on briefing the media about other clubs. That's why Pep gave him a name check. Don't forget Levy is the man who told the press he "wouldn't pick up the phone to Manchester City." More recently Spurs have been briefing that they wouldn't "do business with Manchester clubs again." Just pathetic deflection tactics but these days Spurs fans seem to have wised up about the sort of people who are running their club.Spurs are going to be very busy if they're attacking every team that could finish ahead of them over the next few seasons.
