By the way, there is a lot of Western chauvinism toward the way a lot of people talk about Saudi Arabia. Their government is awful and I loathe them, but at the same time I feel like people can say whatever they want about Saudi Arabia (such as claiming they don’t allow women to get an education or work) and everyone just nods and agrees. Kinda like how a lot of the people complaining on social media about LGBT rights in Saudi Arabia have absolutely no interest in LGBT rights unless it’s to mock countries such as Saudi Arabia. Some of these same people then told Newcastle’s LGBT fan group how to feel, after they released what I thought was quite a measured, reasonable response

I've done the Newcastle stadium tour, my wife is from Whitley Bay.

Massive club, I'd put them on par with Leeds, big one city clubs.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Definitely put them above Leeds. Leeds and Grimsby both have one thing in common… we’ve spent more years in the second tier than in any other tier of the football league!

Not much between them. I reckon Leeds are the better investment. City is bigger and more potential. Prolly connect to HS2.

If you’re choosing clubs on success then surely Leeds are the winner there?

Newcastle is a one club city and literally the only success they’ve had is getting relatively big crowds consistently. They had one chance of winning the league many moons ago and Keegan did his usual and bottled it. Utd sat back and watched them collapse…

I can see why someone would invest in Newcastle and perhaps over time it’ll pay off but as a Newcastle fan, I appreciate they’re desperate for some sort of success but I don’t think this sale would sit right with me at all. It’s embarrassing that they’re claiming they’ve got their club back and their constant bleating on about being massive and all that is odd…

I think the sale highlights wider issues in football and questions the fit and proper tests once more…but I guess so long as they don’t chop hands off in this country and don’t blow up our hospitals then why should the FA care?


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

Apart from money I don't think the FA care about anything, just like the Prem.



You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

I remember watching Town at St James' Park in what's now the championship in the early 90's and there being something like 13k there. A lot of self-aggrandisement with that fanbase.
