NUFC takeover (2 Viewers)

Fucking hate Geordie's.

Who can forget their wonderful chants of "Town full of........." back at Highfield Road. Not just the once either.

Also, remember going up for the cup game when Bellamy bottled it and didn't play (think he was actually injured) and we went up the Friday to sample the so called Geordie self subscribed best night out in the world and best fans in the world and frankly was a little disappointed.

Probably as we ended up in someone like Flares surrounded by Cov fans and the more drunk I got the less and less I could understand the locals anyway.

Oh. And those fucking stairs.

I responded in kind to that chant - Well, I used the tune anyway: "Shit in the final,
You're always shit in the final,
shit in the final,
you're always shit in the final"!
I'm glad to say this is one of mine that actually caught on from the West terrace that day.

Apparently Mike Ashley is to loan £150m to the consortium for transfers... according to TalkSPORT today. Whole thing stinks if so and very much into the fire.

Part of the reason for that is that any decent manager would generally steer well away from them. I know it's been airbrushed but didn't they jump on Bobby Robson's back while he was there?

That was pre Ashley but yes the club with Shepherd in charge did shit on Sir Bobby.

So much for Saudi billions

Amanda Stavely is an expert in this field
She organised the 'rescue' of Barclays in the financial crash by introducing them to her middle eastern Sovereign Wealth Fund contacts
But it seems they borrowed the money from Barclays......
She is as slippery as a barrel of eels in vaseline

Looks like they could be the next Sunderland!

Interesting developments
As well as a not unexpected complaint from Amnesty International about Saudi Arabia's human rights record BeIn Sports has contacted the Premier League about Saudi's 'organised theft' of their live TV rights
SA are trying to destroy BeIn because of the dispute with Qatar
Saudi decided to steal the content and broadcast it for free
The new owners are ultimately the SA government through their Wealth Fund
This is an explosive issue as it has the potential to destroy UK football's business model

Does that mean Richard Keys is out of a job? Not all bad then.

We allowed Chinese conglomerates, oil baron sheikhs, Russian oil barons and all other kinds of wankers try to buy the game I don’t see why the Saudis should be exempted. Maybe those happy with a battle of the tycoons should have thought first

They would be treated the same as all the other nasty bastards - apart from the fact that they are the only country who allow the Premier League live feed to be stolen from one of the companies (BeIN Sports) who currently pay a huge fee for it
BeIN have already laid off a lot of their staff since the Saudis stopped paying for their feed and just pirated it instead

Guess they could meet that by denying Newcastle the £100 million or so that PL clubs get from TV money. We all know the Saudis will cheat the funding rules like Man City anyway so it won't hurt them
