Jota was the best finisher but now looks lost. I'd presume nunez is gone but jota and Diaz don't have much time left to convince Arne they stay and Chiesa has been overlooked too. However surely we don't sell all 4 and see salah walk too. Gakpo will be feeling very lonely if so
We didn't initially know what H&G were going be like. Newcastle fans have no such excuse. Once our fans knew what H&G were like and what they were doing to the club, our fans took action.
Man Utd's fans are nowhere near as vocal or proactive as ours were and are, and that was even more the case when Man Utd were still picking up trophies such as their last league title when there was barely a peep coming from them about their owners. The Glazers and FSG may be a bunch of gits entirely interested in how much money they can squeeze out of their clubs, but at least they're not a bunch of murderous, human rights deniers.
If I had to choose between us being owned and run by the likes of FSG, or having the Saudis in charge, I'd rather have the former in charge of my club even if that meant that I'd never get to see us pick up another trophy.
Unfortunately the days of having big clubs owned and run by a club loving 'local lad done good' is long gone.
Remember when Newcastle United LGBTQ+ fans group released a statement saying that it -
“acknowledged that Saudi Arabia as a country is one of the least tolerant of LGBTQ+ and gender rights anywhere in the world”
....but that......"it hoped the takeover could lead to “a positive influence to improving the conditions for the LGBTQ+ community in Saudi Arabia”.....?
So many fans will spread their legs if they think their side will be successful on the pitch.
In Newcastle's defence they'd had Mike Ashley running the club.
If we all took a stance against Saudi we'd all be walking to work everyday.
The love United Hate glazer campaign has been going a long,long time. Even whilst they were winning titles. Most of their true fans didn't want anything to do with them because they knew they were just mortgaging the club, definitely more vocal now due to their drop off but it's been there since the off. That's just the fickle nature of football fans though I guess.
Exactly. Unfortunately more people than ever are willing to sell their soul for a lot of often blood stained filthy lucre or some form of success. It's just a matter of how much it takes for them to do so.
It's not just the fans, it also concerns the likes of ex players, pundits, TV stations, newspapers etc who like to virtue signal, but as soon as enough cash is waved in front of their faces their morals go out of the window and they then desperately try to justify their actions or lack of e.g. just like you said, you get events for various sports held in some highly questionable places, run by even more questionable individuals and regimes, and those that benefit try to justify and mask their actions by saying that going to and allowing such events to take place is going to result in positive changes taking place.
The only changes are those that occur to these selfish shills' bank balances.
