Newcastle buyout

[ripley]

How f****** supine they are!

Here's what I'd ask the PL:

"If you had a consortium headed by Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei, would he pass your fit and proper person test?"

"If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limousine anyway"

 

[coy-spurs1882]

i wonder if one of their players would be chopped into pieces when he had a poor game

Guarantee they were dead against the ESL proposals and now they're going to buy success like the rest. Newcastle fans can celebrate Ashley leaving, but my god they have one of the worst owners in terms of human rights. Disgusted by all parties involved.

Say goodbye to fair competition even moreso than before, because it's just got a whole lot harder to compete with a club funded by a country.

MBS is arguably even worse, but it's like splitting hairs and not worth arguing over.

 

[Hotspur33]

Sooo this is the fair competition Gary Neville stood on his soap box for.

I find all the celebrations really, really depressing tbh. Sportswashing works an absolute treat.

Sky/Media etc all up in arms about the Super League but gratefully accepting this with nothing but a small mention about how "it will cause debate".

They will celebrate them coming in as well - a majority wont care about the human rights elsewhere - they want to win no matter how they are funded to get there. That's modern football I'm afraid.

The hypocrisy stinks.

This is a league full of social justice good causes, they insist on starting every game by taking a knew for equality and yet we now have a dirty Russian ogliarch who funded putin and stole masses of wealth, a state funded club owned by an oppressive regime totally accepted and now this which is similar but worse if you look at the human rights

At what point is enough and enough? Why would I listen to anyone about a good cause when they will happily take money from Qatar, Abu Dhabi or Saudi Arabia? Why is the land the government standing by and letting the premier league sell off our national game to facist regimes, actually I know why because all this government cares about is money.

I love football, I love tottenhqm hotspur but the whole thing has gone hasn't it. Owned by corrupt greedy wankers, played by greedy selfish players, shown by rip off TV stations and watched by shallow fans who care more about their team winning than being owned by a murderous facist regime.

I cant shake the feeling of sadness and hopelessness

 

[Blake Griffin]

ah shit, just remembered we've got them next.

new owner bounce

Mbappe to get a brace against us.

 

[easley91]

Football at the highest level is no longer fun. It's a closed table. Much like the ESL was going to be. Hope they somehow get relegated this season.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

What a joke. How is Saudi a fit and proper owner? Football is dead, its just no one has called time of death yet.

 

[easley91]

Okay so I laughed at this one and that's it..

 

[Montalbano]

Was just ready to purchase two front row tickets on general sale for our game at Newcastle yesterday and now there's currently a queue of 1500 people just to access Newcastle's ticketing website.. Missed the boat lmao stadium will be packed.

To be fair to their fans they have been through some shit, so close to winning the league, having the one of the best strikers in the world and still falling short. Remind you of anyone?

So many false dawns and hopes and basically been left frustrated. They have become a joke for the past ten or more years.

They won't become good over night and its going to take a few years. If these take points off the big boys it makes it more interesting. We just got to keep investing money wisely and do our own thing

Good luck to them

 

[bloodzeed]

Hopefully we have new owners soon probably not as rich but enough to compete

Get banners out stop going to games until we get change

No one is going to buy us. Tottenham costs too much now. These sugar daddy owners buy cheap clubs then throw money at the first-team squad. Much more likely that West Ham gets bought before we do.

 

[Thewobbler]

The PL don't care about who runs these clubs they just want to see the best product and if that means newcastle, chelsea, utd, city etc can bring the worlds best players to the league then they're happy. Loads of international fans will want to tune in.

 

[sundanceyid10]

Think I am done with football completely if this happens. It's utterly pointless as a competition. I'll always support and follow Spurs but will not watch football or spend any money on it.

I feel the same, the money people at the top don’t care and one day all that is great about the game will be gone. The competition element is for sure vanishing before our eyes. No one running the game at the top has the balls to say it, what’s right there in front of them. Probably because they are on the gravy train with noses in the trough. Does it matter about a level playing field to the rich as long as the money rolls in.
