Good. Feck the Saudis. If Jeff Bezos took over Newcastle and spent £10b on them, more power to them, but the Newcastle fans who want to be owned by MBS after all they shit the Saudis have done and continue to do need to take a hard look at themselves
Saudis taking over Newcastle | Maybe not

Is it ok that I can't stop giggling after reading this outcome?
Current crisis gets another victim ?
Can't say to upset about this one

I'd need that in writing, rubber stamped by the world police.
The guy who undercuts local businesses and harasses them into closure? Of course, it is not blatant killing. But hardly a model owner
I can give you written in biro on a Ramada Inn napkin, signed by Mr Blobby. Deal?Reminds me of the we are going to buy Rabbi Matondo if we can't sign Sancho strategy
If you want to recreate the experience, just go into the editor, and give them 1 billion pounds transfer budget, and play on from there.
So they've pulled out because they had to wait a while for the deal to be approved?!
Sounds like they were really in it for the long haul!

Laminated and it's a deal.
I think there's a sugar daddy check mark somewhere that models this.
But still, Newcastle
. Almost feel bad for them.Oh dear........
The various Newcastle forums are in meltdown blaming us, City and the Dippers mainly because we want to keep it a closed shop at the top. The notion that it might be because their potential new owners are a shady bunch of human rights violating pirates had nothing to do with it I am sure.
It was a consortium of Saudi private investors not the Saudi sovereign fund itself like UAE and Qatar sovereign funds own City and PSG respectively.
Imagine having to adjust your transfer targets from Mbappe and Jason Sancho to Pukki and Dominic Solanke. These guys are pissed!
Thank goodness.The Saudis are disgusting but please don't act as if Jeff Bezos is some model human being. He's a horrific wealth hoarder who takes advantage of his workers, sweatshops, and small businesses.
From Mbappe and Cavani to Glenn Murphay. The pain.
Any person who has enough wealth to buy a Premier League football club is going to be a bell end. The only metric is how much of one they are. You don't accumlate that amount of cash without harming a few
Heartbreaking news for them
The vast, vast majority of our meltdowns today have absolutely nothing to do with some idea about a closed shop. I don't know why but it bugs me so much when people find the most terrible fringe opinions being voiced by a group and pass it off as a majority.
As a general rule in life , yes, you can probably find some idiots somewhere saying a certain stupid thing but almost all of our ire today has been split between the PL, Mike Ashley, Qatar and actually PIF themselves to varying degrees.Not what ESPN are saying:

It is a surprise since when the takeover news initially came there was no mention of Saudi public fund.
The full truth is rather simple, it looks better to pull out of the deal rather than being told they can't buy the club.
An hour before the news broke out this was posted on a NUFC forum regarding the appeal just lodged by Saudi Arabia to the WTO:
Howay the lads.
Good. One less threat out of the mix. Although my Newcastle supporting brother is going to be absolutely gutted when it hears the news.
That is disgusting.
Going by most reports the Premier League were going to approve the deal and the reason it fell through was Mike Ashley tried to squeeze more money than originally agreed.
So if true they now know they would be allowed to buy a premiership club

Imagine you stoop to such levels to defend them, just because they'll spend a few bob on the football team you support. Absolute bonkers way of thinking.

Levels of delusion. It’s over.
Told you so.
Newcastle. The most unlucky club of them all. Like losing a winning lotto ticket
So every single one of them then...
That moron looks like he's about to cry.Thats a real sliding doors moment for Newcastle.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. This made my day.
Good. Although the fact that the PL were dragging their heels over piracy of TV coverage rather than unspeakable human rights record leaves them looking shabby. Right outcome for utterly wrong reasons.
Can't wait to see what The True Geordie has to say, the bellend.
