    This new vote is absolutely an attempt by the premier league big boys (arguably excluding City) to reduce the toon and diminish our performances this season

    “Your Honor, I object!”

    “On what grounds?”

    “Its devastating to my case”

    Globalization of club ownership definitely gives advantage to clubs owned by rich owners and helps them avoid FFP. Sell useless players to sister club and loan future prospects until they are proven. Then buy the proven for cheap from the said sister club. It’s a FFP loophole that should be plugged.

    Why does this even involve him? That kind of rule and what they’re going to do about it is so many levels above his paygrade. Media gives the managers way too much credit as if they run the entire club.

    He says journalists can make all the assumptions they like but it’s not his place as a coach to comment. You can watch the full press conference on youtube, instead of believing clickbait headlines.

    As someone who’s always held a relatively positive opinion of Newcastle as both a football club and as a city, it’s sad to see the club act like this. I don’t blame Newcastle fans for being delighted that Mike Ashley is gone but the attitude coming out from the club, the staff and certain parts of the fanbase really rubs you the wrong way at times and it’s very disappointing

    That video that was making the rounds on social media a while back of some Newcastle fans being very disrespectful towards the older fan voicing his opinions on the takeover wasn’t nice to watch at all

      Fair enough. I’d probably feel the same way if it was West Ham that was taken over. I will say though that I can vouch for at least some of the fanbase - and I’d wager it’s a mostly silent majority - being uncomfortable with the Saudi aspect. We just want to enjoy supporting our club without defending/deflecting with the horrible shit the Saudi state does.
