How did some of you get into the argument of Saudi vs Glazers again?
Oi! They want to buy Newcastle now. Keep up with the news.

It's so simple. If only we allowed the Nazi's to buy up our countries most influential businesses we could have ended the war years before we did!No, as in there are more positives than negatives when it comes to Saudi’s integrating more with western society.
I mean that’s not even a debate. The more they integrate with us the more positive effect we can influence.
They are a nation that knows nothing else but their own traditions with very little outside influence.
Thanks for letting me know.No it isn’t. You’ll follow them just like you do today without even thinking about it when you sign the first galactico. When someone reminds you of this post, you’ll conveniently site some semi-truth about your chaps not being like the other ones. Just like evey United-fan would do in the same situation. Or Newcastle or City for that matter. Besides, you could make a pretty long list of shit going about in the States too couldn’t you?
It’s seems obvious but in the minds of idiots they are comparable.Thanks for letting me know.
I’m all for bashing the Americans for all the stuff that goes on over there, but there’s no way you can equate an American business man to MBS.
Inter have chinese owners?Why don’t the Chinese own a team yet?
mSigh. Another one. So in ten years time, UAE and Saudi Arabia will be battling it out for the title while the rest of us play catch up.
The day Liverpool is bought by a regime that murders homosexuals and where women have no rights is the day I stop supporting them.
Talking about PL, but yeah.Inter have chinese owners?
They won’t give a feck when they are spending £200 million a summer and winning Champions leagues mate.So happy they aren’t buying us, I would stop supporting us 100% , I thought it was a matter of time so I’m over the moon it won’t happen, Newcastle fans....I feel for you, out of the frying pan ......,
Wolves do don't they?Talking about PL, but yeah.
This would have happened here too..Seen lots of Newcastle fans defending this, nay, happy about it. I mean how can you possibly be happy with this? It really is dishearting how self-centred football fans can be.
If this happened at my club, I would feck football off forever.
Man City were bought 12 years ago and still haven’t achieved it. PSG were bought 9 years ago and haven’t. I doubt Newcastle will win it any time soon.They won’t give a feck when they are spending £200 million a summer and winning Champions leagues mate.
Their real wage gets paid off shore, the amount we know about is just their tips.A couple of Picassos as gifts on the down-low would settle it. Probably just a matter of the right way of setting up some cayman island companies in your mom/dad's names with some certain conditions.
You NEVER see City players complain because of wages. Rarely (ever?) has there been a Rooney/Rio/De Gea contract situation. Something fishy about it.
Is that certain? Man City & PSG haven’t exactly come close to winning the CL under their oil owners.They won’t give a feck when they are spending £200 million a summer and winning Champions leagues mate.
Yes. The majority shareholder of Southampton is Chinese too for now. He's trying to sell.Wolves do don't they?
I don't understand this line of thinking anyway. Manchester United can spend as much as any other club on the planet, you have the revenue for it. You don't need the Saudi's.I’ve said this many times and I’ll say it again. If you want the Saudis to buy United because you hope they spend 500 million every summer, but you’re honest about that, at least I can respect you for being honest about what you want.
There was also a chance that they would fire incompetent CEOs and have the money and desire to hire the best in business and have the scrapped DOF project resurrected.I’ve said this many times and I’ll say it again. If you want the Saudis to buy United because you hope they spend 500 million every summer, but you’re honest about that, at least I can respect you for being honest about what you want.
If they’re the best supporters then he’s doneI do have a soft spot for Newcastle, and this must be a weird situation for their fans, trading Ashley who they despise, for the Saudi royal family with their terrible human rights record.
In terms of Ashley, I 100% agreed with and understood their fans' criticisms of his regime. This notion that he somehow 'stabilised the club' was pretty bizarre, given the 2 relegations which you could argue were brought about by poor decisions made by him, the net debt increasing to around £150 million or so at one stage, the commercial revenue barely increasing since 2007 (in-fact it might have actually gone down), the offices being raided by HMRC a few years ago etc. That's before we get to the crumbling stadium, the awful training and youth facilities which desperately need to be revamped modernised (he supposedly gave the green light for plans to do that, but shockingly those plans never materialised). That's an interesting definition of stability in my book. And clinging on to Premier League TV money becoming the sole ambition of the club, contributed to their disastrous record in the cup competitions - I think until this season they hadn't reached a single FA or League Cup quarter-final for 14 years.
I know that he has had his high profile supporters such as Richard Keys, Ferdinand (normally a good pundit apart from when he defended Ashley due to commercial reasons - i.e. Sports Direct selling his clothing brand), Peter Beardsley (to help get a coaching gig at the club though of course he left in disgrace) etc.
What do you mean; no history? They have a history of perennial underachievement going back 60 years+.End of football. Completely ridiculous. If every scum club can now be bought out by scum owners and win the league then what's the point. Seriously why Newcastle? Nothing club. No history. Not a great City. Nothing. What's next Kim jong un takes over Peterborough united
Interesting list, I had no idea Charlton were owned by someone of similar wealth to Sheikh Mansour.Yes. The majority shareholder of Southampton is Chinese too for now. He's trying to sell.
2 state-backed Chinese investment firms collectively bought 13% of City Football Group in 2015.
Outside the PL there's Chinese involvement in Barnsley, Birmingham, Reading and WBA according to Wiki.
Thanos is buying Leeds.End of football. Completely ridiculous. If every scum club can now be bought out by scum owners and win the league then what's the point. Seriously why Newcastle? Nothing club. No history. Not a great City. Nothing. What's next Kim jong un takes over Peterborough united
Maybe not but if they bought United I wouldn’t be watching us win any titles because they would be tainted and meaningless to meThey won’t give a feck when they are spending £200 million a summer and winning Champions leagues mate.
Better that than be owned by the Saudis.We will be the new Everton. Happy to finish 7th.
DefinitelyBetter that than be owned by the Saudis.
I have to agree, money doesn't buy you the CL. It does need an element of being a euro-great club to be able to win it.Man City were bought 12 years ago and still haven’t achieved it. PSG were bought 9 years ago and haven’t. I doubt Newcastle will win it any time soon.
