Another week goes by!

[Geordie1974]

I haven’t been anticipating this verdict from the PL at all. In my mind there’s no way they will approve it, so I put t to the back of my mind and have felt that way from the week the story broke.

There’s no way they can approve it when they’ve been pirating Premier League matches, I know that hasn’t been proven, but they know full well they have, and that’s not to mention genocide, head chopping or killing journalists.

Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce will be here next season and to be honest with you I don’t like the idea of being owned by the Saudi’s.

There is already owners in the Premier League from countries guilty of all what you have said. Before its pointed out they are not leaders of these countries they didn't obtain their wealth through squeaky clean antics and I bet a lot have plenty of say in government in their respected countries. The same way Tory donors have influence in decisions made by our government in this country.
Whats good for the goose and all that as far as I am concerned. You never get people to change by slamming doors in their faces. MBS is guilty of everything you have said but since he got control has allowed women to drive, allowed women to attend sporting events, and has stopped the beheading of children in the kingdom. Doesn't excuse what has went on before, far from it, but in the eyes of people that live there it is seen as progress.
A lot of their ways if not all are set in stone from a religious point of view, it will take years to change the ways of the elders of the country but it has to start somewhere. When they takeover NUFC the whole world will be watching what goes on. Nothing will be able to be brushed under the carpet like what has gone before. That is progress and a good thing in my book.

Well I want the Saudis!!!!!!

This is a massive turning point for our club.

We have had no other bids getting as far as this in the last decade, no one else has stumped up the money, or wants to buy us.

It’s sh it or bust time.....now or never
If this deal fails I can see us being married to fatso for another decade. And I for one want a divorce!!

This deal getting done will solve more problems than it creates, in KSA and in U.K. at NUFC and for the premier league.
Every ones a winner baby, that’s the truth!

Spot on, man

This is something that is being overlooked by folk who don't want the takeover to happen, imo. If this is part of a process that involves the Saudis, albeit slowly, changing their mindset and bringing their thinking and behaviour into the 21st century then that has to be a good thing. I don't even think that's a naive belief but I'm not daft enough to think it will happen overnight either. Life is about balance and the people who are complaining about the Saudis past and present are ignoring how things might change in the future.

Mind, having said that, I'm not going to pretend my main motivation for wanting them isn't anything other than wanting rid of fatso and having the richest owners in the world.
