I said your fans 'laud the owners' (majority = Saudi) and especially Staveley who is the figurehead of that ownership group. To pretend otherwise is just embarrassing yourself. Congratulations though - you have finally managed to exhaust me for the day. You really are indefatigable in your...

Again, disingenuous. Amanda Staveley is far more than a minority shareholder in all of this. She was the conduit by which this deal happened, and is very much the face of the owners as a group. And your fans f***ing worship her.

Well I certainly don't claim to speak for anyone else, but I'm personally very much happy to accept that Ashley had to go, because the relationship was toxic, and it was no good for anyone (not even him, as the poor morale he was responsible for, risked affecting results, and thus the value of...

I think people are happy to accept that Ashley needed to go - not so much for the actual level of performance under his regime - but because the relationship between himself and the Newcastle fans was utterly broken. He held the Toon Army in contempt, and was happy to publicly take the piss. The...

But the flags and songs - not tolerating, but CELEBRATING your ownership - ARE the outward face of your fanbase's attitude to it all. The public projection of your giddy acceptance of the new regime is EXACTLY what they've paid their petrodollars for. That a few of you raise a metaphorical...

Nobody seriously argues with any of this. We know there is probably little that the Newcastle fans could have done to stop the takeover had they wanted to (spoiler - they didn't). If they were not turning up at SJP, waving flags with Staveley's face on, and singing songs about how rich their...

Yes, there is. That is kind of the point that the Toon Army seem to be missing when they abandon any concerns over the ownership, in return for yes - players (and league position) bought.

So no attempt to actually refute the important bit - just the actual figures. But yes, you're right. In the latter years of the Ashley era, other than the one £40 million Brazilian striker, you actually did have to put up with penny-pinching signings like Willock and Almiron. Point taken.

This is brilliant. Your best line yet. So effectively you are telling us that the Newcastle fans actually ARE against the ownership, but that (for now) the excitement of your shiny new Brazilian / Italian baubles (after those dismal Ashley years of only signing ONE £40m superstar each season)...
