This is disingenuous at best. Who are "The Chinese" or "The Americans". You indirectly address the heart of the matter; an individual bussiman say Bezos is not the sovereign wealth fund of a country, that is the by proxy owner of PSG . Then its state ownership pure and simple and you have to look at what that state is. The Saudis behead more people than ISIS, some for alleged sexual immorality. Have a proper read around the death of Jamal Khassogi and see how closely implicated Newcastle prospective owners are. I'm sorry but it's not a simple as "behind every great fortune there is a great crime" In this case in front of the fortune comes a shit load of murderizing. Bezos is a greedy ass but he is not this.

Woke about stuff where they don't need to do anything different in their daily lives.
We’ll all still be here arguing over XD stats
Grooming gangs don't effect our club so that's cool. Saudi's buying us does so not cool.
Imagine the scenes as for their very first marquee signing Newcassel United buy the current English number 9 - to emulate all of their great number 9s of the past and then he leads them to a long awaited and well deserved league title.
Writes itself doesn’t it.
Yeah atl right and random connection wise. Not even sure how to get started. We could add not enough done about people suffering with MS, so don't care about who owns a club we financially support and emotionally invest in.
"We tried to sign Piatek but Munich came in for him."
The only thing that would be better is the PR departments spin.
Exactly. Best to think that way. Like nike has a terrible slave labour history but we need a kit to play in. & walker wanted to go to city so we had to take the 50m blood money.
Also we do care about who owns us but not about all the slave labour & child labour we support. 2 Very different things. & obviously who owns the club is way more important than actual individual choices we can have that impact on moral issues like slave labour etc. We got this moral high ground game mastered.

Yea, so quiet. We've only got a 180 page thread in off-topic debating that exact topic.
Debating!? Who exactly is pro grooming gangs on here?
Google, Amazon, Apple all have the cash. Ali Baba too.
Little racism here?
That’s exactly how I first read itI definitely don't want Geordies to buy us, so Saudis for me.
If it was Hitler, probably. Or the late Jeffrey Epstein.
Brothers if those Saudi sheikh's buy Newcastle then it gets even harder . Their money will eventually guarantee top 4 , so for little old us there ain't any water left in the creek.
They won't except anything else and as City/Chavs they will pump themselves full of steroid sponsorship deals. FFP is no obstacle.
Then you have scousers with Pro active owners , manure will get it eventually right .
On the football side it will really hurt .

But we will still be double winners, with our bank balance cup & moral champions league trophy.
Good luck to them brother.
They have genuine roots support who have gone through shit and if we aren't capable competing then better them than City/Chavs etc.
A thousand lashes for every penalty conceded. I could live with that
