Malcolm Macdonald DEFENDS controversial Saudi-backed takeover of Newcastle United 

What's your point Clive T? Trade in the last 10 years with Saudi Arabia has risen by 47% Tony Blair hasn't been in power for 16 years - move on!!

And they are buying Man united and theres not even a peep from anyone.

And it’s hardly mentioned that PIF invested about £400 million to McLaren’s F1 team!

I love the fact that the human rights in America are still terrible with the corrupt police, racism and what not

The Queen and King too

Loyal to the toon ffs he pissed off to arsenal in a jiff .

@@rokerlad49 Gordon Lee sold him because he didn't like "stars"

@@rokerlad49 He was sold, you tool

he was sold because he was knackerred, and sold at a good price. he was my hero, i stopped going when it was said he was sold because gordon lee didnt want , but i think the truth came out much later.

I don't can't stand the arrogant man

And dropped next game Revie never liked him for some reason

V. Cyprus at Wembley. 1975 from memory.

Me too. I remember watching it. I was twelve. I always thought his time was 11 seconds but it seems it was faster.

And why does a year passing make ANY difference? the subject doesn't disappear after a set time does it !

One of the only matches I left early from. 3 down courtesy of Gordon Davies, Dean Coney and Ray Houghton. I’m not a fair weather supporter, it’s just that I Had the hangover from Hell. 🤪

Unfortunately he never won a major trophy at a Newcastle or Arsenal.

Pull a pint first , count when it’s closed

Dipstick, you’re there to make new money, not count the old, do that when you aren’t busy FFS

Bad customer service in your bar then.

Put down the glue david

How many teams have british ownership, its not many 😂

@@myerg2977 nop i think 9 club owen by USA owner all forget that no problem in ther, becuse it USA so ther death sentch thart is ok, ther juse tortur that ok, ther fobid abortion that is ok, ther keep start up illegakl war it stil ok, then all go crazy over midel east owenship, say sportwhasing, but that about the USA is that sportwashing to.

Pisshead

Rubbish. Look at MA now. Evicting Coventry City from their own stadium. Our new owners have done more for the poorest people in Newcastle than Mike has done in his 15 years.

It's part owned by British owners as well it also includes Reuben brothers who've had a massive influence on Newcastle even before the take over and Amanda staverley own 20%

How does having foreign owners mean we don’t have British players? Since the takeover we’ve signed Trippier, Targett, Burn, Pope and Gordon…all English 🤔

Your club is owned by italians who also own udinese

@@aarondunn332 you really don’t understand my point above do you, most clubs in this country are foreign owned, and most clubs in this country mainly have foreign players. And it’s effecting our national team due to the lack of players to choose from. These rich people buying clubs don’t do it for nothing, they have to make a huge profit before putting money back into the club, at first it seems great but watch my space. Look what happened to Watford when their foreign owners took over, it was great at first but after a couple of years it changed not for the better but for the worse. Before the eighties it wasn’t about money like it is today, the premier League followed by Sky sports was the destruction of football creating a huge number of bankrupt clubs. Since then our young children lost out to foreign players due to the lack of interest from scouts because it was cheaper to buy foreign than train up our youths. Look at Watford football club their stadium was owned by their sponsor Benskins Brewery, Benskins donation to Watford every year in the early days was the equivalent of attendance money on top. Benskins never ever took money out of Watford, Benskins sponsored Watford from the late 1800’s and Benskins only sold victorsge road in 2001. You see it wasn’t about the money like it is now sadly. Benskins sponsored Watford for over 100 years and owned Vicarage road for over 80 years. Look at the difference to football since the big money took over in the early 90’s. It’s destroyed football in this country.

Salty much?

@@CJ-ih4oh So your takeaway from SIG lying, and Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud being directly linked to the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a journalist remember, is to think that I'm being salty ? please, take your mental health problems to a professional that can help you with your issues. Because my friend, they are plenty.

Wheres the rules saying it matters?

@@frankdux5693 ffs, the prem league asked them for an explanation of the ownership structure of SIG, and they lied to the prem league. honestly, what the farks wrong with you ? but this is why it matters. the saudi owners of nufc who have just sentenced 10 of their own judges to death for being too lenient to women’s rights campaigners. the blood is literally dripping through st james park.

​@@tam8197they didn't lie pif explicitly structured to be run by someone with a Saudi minister title but with no other duties the premier League were completely aware this was a none issue that died if death 2 days after it was trumpeted about you just swallowed the cool aid

😂😂😂😂 so every time you use your mobile phone do you hear the screams of the teenagers being exploited in the mines in Africa? 😂😂😂😂

Do you put petrol in your car? Use plastics?

Do you hear the screams when you are travelling in a car owned by you or someone else which is run on oil from Saudi Arabia?

I wonder if they hear the screams of the kids in the sweat shops in Asia when they put their shirt and trousers on in the morning? Or the cows in the abattoir being slaughtered for their dinner? He must hear a lot of screaming 😂😂😂

Hmm, do you hear the screams of motoring journalism? PIF are the majority share holders in Aston Martin as well. Funny how that’s never brought up.

Doesn't look to interested that character
