Newcastle United 2024/25

[hertsblue]

They are begging for the Qataris to buy them.

The narrative would soon change then wouldn’t it

Think we all saw how two faced the entire media are with the Qatar World Cup

Was at Newcastle yesterday. Expected the city to be buzzing, given it was also St Patrick's day. Whole city was dead. Although our local paper up hear does report they are planning an open top bus parade. Seems a bit excessive for the carabou cup but each to their own

I think they were all still pissed up in London?

:)

Either still in London and/or sleeping it off.

Excessive a trophy parade?? Fucking hell they last won a trophy in 1969, fucking right they'd celebrate it.

If only Newcastle were like the saintly Liverpool, owned and sponsored by the Salvation Army.

Oh, wait...

It hasn't taken Ronay and co much time to bring up human rights etcetera since they won the trophy.

 

[malg]

If we had won that cup in 2011 instead of the FA Cup, I'd be pretty confident in saying it would have been given a parade.

Fucking dead right.

Got to feel for the Toon Army. We know how this will play out.

He's such a busy ****!

Utterly disgraceful reporting - but no surprise at all.
It's perfectly fine for ANY other company in this country to do business with these "Sports washers", they don't get hypocrisy in the press do they?????

When our two oil brothers both scud De dippers in the space of 6 days

It’s especially stupid as if Mansour did put money in to better his and his country’s reputation, it hasn’t worked very well.

He’s an astute business man that has seen his investment double/treble in value.

Meanwhile the US capitalist leeches continue to syphon money out of the game, yet they are the saviours and the Arabs are the ones cooking the goose.

It doesn’t make any sense.

£200m he put in wasn’t it? For a value of an estimate £2bn when 10% was sold to whichever company it was?

 

[dennishasdoneit]

I’ve been meaning to ask, where are all those, who said Howe wasn’t a good enough coach to lead Newcastle to a trophy?

I doubted him , proved me wrong,

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I assume he financed the building of the CFA etc too, so he’ll have put in more than he bought the club for.

Probably said many times but if a sheikh had bought the rags instead of the scruff then there would be no mention of dirty oil money.

Not that long ago the rags were all lapdancing for the qataris

Haven’t they been partially backed by Saudi money for a decade?

The worrying thing is, if the rags had been bought by a third party from the Middle East, it would have meant aligning ourselves with them against the rest of the Premier League.

The thought makes me shudder.

Does this **** still work and write for the Independent? If so the Independent is part owned by the Saudis. Hypocritical twat.
