To some people, yes.Sure but there's nothing wrong with an independently wealthy Saudi or Quatari owner is there?

That's why I said that such comment could be seen by some people as a tad racist, then a few fellows on here got triggered.
Wether you're right or wrong, you'd probably agree that the vast, overwhelming majority of Newcastle fans are excited by the new ownership and would never swap them for a return of Mike Ashley.Newcastle’s ownership is “a sovereign instrumentality of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia”. Nobody who loves Tottenham should want the club to be part of the propaganda department for a country that executes people for being gay
Go back and read my post again, and then when you've done that read it a 3rd time.You appear to be saying that all Saudi/Quatri people are xyz. What would be wrong with an honest Saudi or Quatari buisness person owning our football club?

"Levybot "Are F’in kidding me Levybot?!?!? You talking about morality when Joe Lewis is your majority owner?!?
A man who has fenced off public land in Argentina and had his private security goons beat to bloody pulp anyone trying access the land. Bribed local officials so court orders aren’t enforced and threatened people on peaceful marches onto the public land with gun violence?!?
A man who gives his employees illegal stock tips to avoid paying a them pensions and has tanked/shorted the currency of his own country causing the economic suffering to millions.
Lewis a f’in Bond villain- You don’t care about morality if you’re sticking up for ENIC.
A word of advice to the Levybot programmers - probably best just to avoid the topic of morality since Joe Lewis your patron.
I have “you” on ignore but spouting self righteousness while supporting Lewis was too much hypocrisy/idiocy to not respond - when I caught the gist from post responses. Back on ignore.
For the record, I don’t want a Gulf state purchasing the club either but we’re already owned by a morally bankrupt human being so get off it …
When you are constantly acting contrary and ignoring the points he’s made, it’s very frustrating"Levybot "
"On ignore"
But still finds time to comment on my post.
Anyone who starts with "Levybot" has nothing of value to add to a debate.
Snoop Dog knows a thing or two about footie . Make him director of football
Because anyone who starts with Levybot is not interested in having a serious debate.When you are constantly acting contrary and ignoring the points he’s made, it’s very frustrating

That's actually insane!!No, it's not.
All it says in under FFP rules we could spend £x
£x is more than our revenue.
Clubs are allowed to spend more than their revenue.
You said you were against Saudi/Quatari owners.Go back and read my post again, and then when you've done that read it a 3rd time.
Then come back to me with the bit that you have either missed, or are deliberately ignoring.
It’s hilarious that you think not killing people is some ridiculous standard. God forbid we don’t want oppressive regimes owning our club.But so long as the fans are happy because
We won't do a Leeds
It's not Alan Sugar
They're not Arabs
They don't kill People ?
We haven’t been relegated
The beer pours from the bottom
All billionaires are shady / dodgy anyway
Levy claims to be a lifelong fan
Then business continues and we're all good.
I fully agree with your statement. There can be good owners or wealthy business people from any country. Those people have yet to materialise to in football.You said you were against Saudi/Quatari owners.
Do you agree there could be a good Saudi or Quatari wealthy buisness person or in your opinion are they all slave drivers etc...?
Because anyone who starts with Levybot is not interested in having a serious debate.
It's quite simple really.
I've already stated what my red line is on the subject.
But just for you I'll try and debate one point he made
So they'd need to turn their back on their culture?
I couldn't say who owns every professional football club in the world.I fully agree with your statement. There can be good owners or wealthy business people from any country. Those people have yet to materialise to in football.
I don’t think I’ve see you say so but one could argue ( not that I am ) that saying “ new owners could be worse “ is supporting the status quo .Quote just one post of mine where I've supported Lewis or defended his actions.
Oh dear, obviously comprehension isn't for everyone.You said you were against Saudi/Quatari owners.
Do you agree there could be a good Saudi or Quatari wealthy buisness person or in your opinion are they all slave drivers etc...?
This, obviously, implies that I'd be ok with someone from those countries who do not support them.I do not want any owners from Saudi/Qatar who support those regimes.
The same goes for any other owners from any other countries that have similar regime's.
