People underestimate just how deep into everything PIF is. Go look at Adidas shareholders and I bet you find PIF.

£115 for a shirt. Mad that. Especially when the money is going to murdering people. I’d feel more shame buying it than I would feel shame about stealing.

Horrible bastards.
Arsenal and Liverpool and others do these pro shirts as well. They're the type that the professionals wear, rather than the ...err... replica ones we were.
Fluff knows what the difference is, if there is any, apart from costing a lot more too.

Aye, because the thing the fat Geordie bastards with knocking around the Leazes End, Tenerife, Alicante, Greggs etc. need is a tight fitting "professional shirt"!
Ha! At least it's better than exposing their oversized doughnuts to the world even in the coldest weather.

You could add Washington, Chester Le Street and various other previous SAFC strongholds to that list now.

If the Saudis had pumped millions into Everton and we were able to buy a centre forward or two, the silence would be deafening from the majority of our fans, let's be honest here, footy fans in the main are not arsed what goes on in the next street, never mind in the middle East.
Your morals might be for sale at the price of a few games won for a team you support, you don't speak for everyone else.

I'm not speaking for myself or everyone else, I said the majority.
Stick a few multi million pound signings in the 1st team and you will be surprised how many forget their morals.
I hope you would be wrong, though I have lost a fair bit if faith in our fanbase recently and fear you might be right. Though if that was the case that doesn't excuse the geordies sycophantic defense of a heinous regime, it would just make us as bad and both of us wrong.
I have always stated that having an evil PoS buy your club should not mean fans should be expected to boycott, why should they lose a really important part of their life because the prem are greedy? Where I do draw the line is when fan start make excuses for said evil PoS just because they might win a pot, like our big breasted geordie interloper above there,

Same as every other fanbase in the country would be. I've openly said if Sunderland got taken over by the Saudis I'd be screaming sportswashing at every opportunity. Football fans are fickle.

I think there’d be a larger and more vocal opposition.
Liverpool is a far more politically aware city than Newcastle.
Personally for me would be the end. Probably for the best anyways instead of this death by a thousand cuts.

Grim as [Poor language removed] that like.
Openly admitting that you have absolutely no morals at all, yet at the same time also admit if the shoe was on the other foot you'd pretend to have said morals and use the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people etc. As a points scoring exercise, because someone you presumably know (or a faceless bloke on the internet) supports another team of blokes kicking a ball of air around in a game.
The worst of both worlds you. Have some self-respect man.
