Get that ( though other countries probably would aim similar accusations at the US ( and indeed the UK ) . As far as I knew, they had to prove to the PL that it wasn't the Saudi government ( royal family ) buying the club didn't they? To me it seems on a par with the Russian owner at Chelsea. There's a country that carries out all sorts of murders etc and Roman whatsisname is part of their 'ruling class' if you like. Im not trying to defend the takeover at NUFC by these sorts of people.. just think the criticism is a tad selective. It's so selective .. who sponsors Arsenal .. "Visit Rwanda " Don't need to do too much digging there.. as you say Abramovich and the dirty Russian oil money . Im sure the Emirates don't have blood on their hands! World Cup in Qatar what a joke .. this and all past world cups and euros fuelled but corruption including euro 96. . Ffs most teams are sponsored by betting companies. How much blood do they have on their hands ? The consternation re newcastle is all fuelled by self interest not morality, because morality wise they don't have a leg to stand on . If the Premier league wants to go down a morality route I'd be right behind that . Although in 5 years time it'd be about the 20th biggest league in the world cos the money wouldn't be there . Never has so much hypocritical bullshit been spouted by so many This is vapid, run of the mill butwhataboutery. Just because you haven't criticised everything that might be wrong, or questionable, you are a hypocrite for making an objection, or criticism. A sixth former could see through this fallacious line of argument.

Never really had an issue with Newcastle, but really hope they get relegated this season, money is ruining the game.

I just hate their medieval attitude to women … but enough about the Geordies, etc. Get’s even worse. John Terry in the frame for the manager’s job.

It seems your argument is that because some owners might have dodgy backgrounds that anybody should be allowed to own a club. Im clearly not getting my point across very well as that isn't my argument at all. My issue is with the selectiveness of the 'outrage'. And ok, they must have proved to the PL that it isn't going to be the Saudi state running the club but this company PIF ( who by the sound of it already own a shit load of stuff most people use on a daily basis )

3-0 loss. 21% possession. Bruce Out. and he can take Mike Ashley with him! I bet Touchel was terrified when Jonjo Shelvey came on as he probably expected Kante Jorginho and co to get run wragged. wasting time after approx.25 minutes haha! they dont deserve to be in the premier league nevermind winning it.

For Newcastle future signings it must be like putting 2p in the coin push machine in an arcade at Blackpool, hanging for a big payout but have to wait a while for pay day!!

It would be amazing to see Newcastle relegated after their takeover. Mbappe etc playing in the Championship on 500k a week.

It comes to a point though that eventually you can’t keep harping on about it because you can’t effect change. The only chance you have is stopping it before it takes place and that’s why the Saudis are copping it at the moment. Personally I’ve had plenty to say about these middle eastern nations over the years and think their human rights is shocking. Admittedly less so about the Russian billionaire because I don’t know enough about the history, so I’m inclined to listen on that one.

The only crumb of comfort from seeing Leeds get a win yesterday was that it pushed Newcastle more into the mire. If Brentford and Norwich can get results against them in November, they have a seriously shit December coming up looking at the fixtures! Leicester, Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City and Everton.

Imagine having all the money in the world and appointing Eddie Howe as manager. I think I’d rather have Bruce!

Crumbled under the heat from 10,000 at the Vitality in his final season……. The Christmas tree will be stopping up longer than Howe in Newcastle!
