The other Magpies - Great deal or selling out their souls?

[magpie_mania]

Everyone wants their team to be the best they can. Most people can suspend their moralistic opinions for a league benefit, reguardless of the owners background. Thought about it and though it is sad but true but we would do the sane and would be hypocrits to despute this.

Who is 'we'?

I read a lot about the Lee Hughes case, and while you can never condone his actions that night, he served the sentence decided by the law of the land. Whether that sentence was too lenient is a separate discussion, but it was par for the course at the time. Interesting that you mention Forest fans, because one of their all time heroes Peter Shilton was convicted of drink driving twice. Fortunately, the first time he only hit a lamppost instead of another car, so he got lucky. It still wasn’t enough to stop him repeating the offence, but he is still an idol to Forest fans.

I think he was trying to drive with his pants around his ankles when he crashed into the lamppost !

How come there is no comparison between Saudis owning Newcastle and Abramovich owning Chelsea? Russia isn’t exactly well known for its history of human rights.

Because it is basically the Saudi Govt who own Newcastle and the chair of the PIF is widely recognised as sanctioning the brutal execution of the journalist, while Abramovich is a Russian?

Very much like FIFA giving Quatar the world cup.
