[discokermit]

the only club in the country that has to be told not to celebrate the owners by being racist. lol.

Following the ban on owners sponsorship thing...

The SA investment fund has massive shares in a lot of organisations. Examples are Disney and Starbucks.

What happens there?

FFS! Newcastle United issues guidance on matchday attire

However: "No-one among the new ownership group was in any way offended by the attire of the fans who chose to celebrate in this way. It was a gesture that was acknowledged as positive and welcoming in its intent."

Amanda Stavelys jawline fascinates me

And she used to go out with the Duke Of York.

Unbelievable Jeff

Police say they're investigating an "offensive" banner seen at the Palace game and "allegations of racist abuse will be taken very seriously" - looks to me like it's clearly targeting Prince Salman, not Saudis or Arabs in general.

Came here to post the same thing. Exactly as you say and an example of how 'offence' has taken over from actual breaches of equality legislation when it comes to authorities taking action. AKA, the hard won machinery of anti racism being used to protect a vile regime.

 

[Wilf]

It does look like a penguin though.

Are the new owners starting to leave a sour taste, will they leave a sour taste, how long before the love affair wears off. Anything but Ashley?

Don’t do it . Will end in tears

The evening chronic is full of shite

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Is that the same Rafa Benitez who had a very similar record at Newcastle to Steve Bruce? He only scores higher on one single metric, the all important "not being Steve Bruce" category.

Jesus...

Spent far too long wondering "why is there a penguin? "

Rafa's spend was around 3m net Vs Bruce on around 70m net. If Rafa had even half of what Bruce had to spend...

Also, the fitness levels that Rafa brought to the team have ceased to exist under Chip Butty Boy Bruce, the bloke is total garbage.

Thats an important category. if you score high in it it means you have the entire history of steve bruce as a manager behind you.

If they get Disney they can have Mickey Mouse on the front of the shirt

If they take Pfizer they should at least stay up.

Newcastle United: Unai Emery to reject Newcastle interest - Guillem Balague

Villarreal manager Unai Emery will reject the chance to take over as Newcastle United boss, reports Guillem Balague.

www.bbc.co.uk

The former Arsenal boss confirmed on Tuesday he had been approached by the Premier League club, who made him their first choice to replace Steve Bruce.
Sources close to Emery indicate he felt the new Magpies ownership lacked a clear vision for the club.

Newcastle had hoped to have the Spaniard in place by the weekend.

But Spanish football expert Balague says those advising Emery were left feeling uncertain about the club's strategy, with stories in England emerging that the shortlist was down to him and ex-Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe - two men with contrasting approaches and vastly different levels of experience within European football.

lol

Anyone with an ounce of decency would. Fear not, there are many that will take the blood money.

Jose might be available

I gather he lived in a hotel in Manchester because he couldn't find anywhere expensive enough to buy. I don't think the North East has more to offer him, apart from cash.

 

[not-bono-ever]

he could afford an estate with a castle and a few hundred acres in northumberland tbh- the former NUFC owners the shepherds had a castle at one point. But like seriously, this is so badly executed- its more barcode comedy - you would think the Saudis and Staveley would have control over the leaks on this.

Does Penfold still have a key to the executive bog? He does?

There's your "control" right there.



The man's a buffoon, beyond incompetent, yet apparently trusted to sign a new manager.

I can't believe thumb heed is still on the payroll. Crackers.

It’s about ‘control’, innit? Those organisations are run by independent entities so are okay. Neither are close to being as bad as Etihad at citeh. Tho they may just have allowed that one because it’s funny, as it means United.
