Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

It's more the "If I was a Newcastle fan I'd be outraged / done with the club" shouts that are going on.

Those same individuals would be bending over backwards to celebrate, make excuses and indulge in whataboutery if Everton were in that situation. They'll speak only positively about where the money behind Everton has come from. But they also speak with righteous moral indignation about sportwashing when it comes to other clubs.

The same way we've seen the RS suddenly becoming ultra eco-aware and sensitive to the historical importance and heritage of Bramley Moore Docks.

It's the ones who've been on the verge of being done with football for God knows how long now. They're always on the cusp of turning their back on the cesspit that English football has become. And then something slightly exciting or positive involving their club happens and those concerns seemingly evaporate only to return when the form dips or a rival club looks to be benefiting from exactly the same thing.

It's tribalism and envy hiding behind morality.

Absolutely no chance. Moshiri is bad enough, but having a murderous, genocidal regime with a penchant for torture as an owner would make me swerve Everton and support Wrexham or someone like that, and I like to think a majority of our fans would do the same.

End of the day, even as much as I love Everton football is just football, and football just isn’t as important as your principles

You don't need to have any ill will towards Newcastle (fans, as a football club per se) - it's just not about this. It's exactly what Barney Ronay said - the takeover by a murderous regime bent on sportswashing. Frankly I think every right minded individual should be concerned with this outrageous state of affairs - bearing in mind the Saudi regimes history of Human Rights Abuses, LGBT and Women's rights, murder of Khashoggi, crimes against Humanity in the Yemen.. What can we do?

Make Newcastle United and their owners feel totally unwanted and unloved in every single away ground they turn up at in the future - continuously from start to finish - they might stop us displaying banners but they can't stop our voices.

Do you mean through the medium of song or witty remarks?
 
….Newcastle United fans will be mostly chuffed, fans of other clubs will not be happy for a multitude of reasons.

Newcastle should ultimately become more competitive, it’s the way it is, the status quo might change and that does make those in the comfort zone a little uncomfortable.
 
Reading more about the current state of Newcastle. This is a massive massive job for the new owners, they need to appoint loads and loads of staff, from ground and training staff all the way to directors or areas.
They have a smaller staff than many league 1 clubs.

the training ground is as bad as many league 1 clubs too….you cant attract top class players without top class training facilities.
No doubt these things will start to change, but it does add more hurdles for them to become successful.

the hardest thing is not appointing people, but getting the right system and the right people.

Get down to Prescot Cables.

Cheap tickets, cheap ale, players who are arsed and only a 10A away from PopWorld.

Non-league is great, haven’t got to as many games as I would like to since it started back up. Wish my team played at a proper non league ground rather than a rugby ground where they shove you in a corner of one stand and aren’t allowed to drink in your seat.

But at the end of the day they will sort all that out. Probably 4 years and they will be closer to City snd Chelsea.
 
I’m not arsed.
Let them enjoy the moment and stop whining about it.
I’d expect Liverpool and United fans to moan, as anything which threatens them always kicks them into overdrive with their crass attitude of superiority.

its not that easy to just drop money on it all.

it will make things take longer…and you need to factor in mistakes along the way.
