Two words why Newcastle fans embraced Saudi owners… Mike Ashley. Widely regarded as one of the worst owners in Premier League history. Rather than club get sponsorship to increase the money in the club to get better players, he basically made all the club sponsors his own companies and for free, so Newcastle were promoting his business globally for free when they could have been getting money for sponsors and he basically used Newcastle as a business saving account where he took the profits of the club and was never really interest in making the team better or competitive with the potential to win trophies and was happy to finish 17th every year and collect the Premier League TV money. This infuriated Newcastle fans because they couldn’t accept this exploitation of their club and lack of ambition. So when the Saudis came saying they wanted to win and would spend, that was enough for them.
Something that suggests Newcastle fans would have even embraced Muammar Gaddafi or Saddam Hussein if their regime was bankrolling their club. What's ridiculous about the acceptance of this ownership model thing is that Newcastle Fans used to be very vociferous about the way Chelsea & Man City negatively influenced the game by pumping money into football, whilst now the have become the best example of 'whataboutery', a term that they hate but that perfectly reflects how disingenuous their stance is. No moral high ground, just success at all cost.
@@anon-zk6iz Yes, they have. Newcastle's Net net spend since Jan 2022 was £256mln, only second to Chelsea's £539mln. In comparison, West Ham's net spend was £172mln and Villa £61mln. I'm quoting official figures by the way. Next time you should check your numbers before commenting...
I just have one question, why when they in video mention foreign owners don’t even mention the American owner of Manchester United or owner of Liverpool ?
They might be capitalist oligarchs, but they are not quite autocratic heads of state. Saudi and UAE use these clubs for a bigger agenda: sports washing but it doesn't seem like American owners are promoting American oligarchy, and is there really much of a difference between rich American team owners & their British counterparts? What I'm saying is that they are both very bad, but not on the same level and in the same way. *And of course, there is an element of seeing bad Eastern things worse than bad Western things in general, It's defenitly easier to criticize foreigners compare to criticizing the most powerful and privleged people of your own community.
proof? People hate their countries more than ever because of the club ownership and yet they still keep supporting the club with their funds? 🤡😂@@zborhan6168
The Premier League already lost the soul, the real fan culture and the atmosphere. All they have left now is money from rich owners who treat clubs like their toys. So, congrats on becoming the world's biggest plastic league.

All he had us for was to advertise sports direct to a wider audience. I’m glad we now have owners that are willing to invest in the club and the wider community
Human rights? Bunch of hypocrites. How many millions hav the German & English killed, murdered, tortured, robbed when they were goin around conquer the world. Now they wanna complain bout other country issue? Tell others how should they behave n run their own country?? Full of BS
People are so pathetic, no matter how evil you are all you need is buy a club or give them some food and they will forget about all the things you did.

Blah blah blah, all Newcastle fans cared about was that these owners caused them to win more. They didn't care where the money came from or any ethical considerations. If Newcastle won, nothing else mattered to them.
@@dwkickoffAbsolutely ... but I feel like one of the few who actually cares so much more about how it is done. (I'd rather my team continue to do poorly than be owned by people such as these or otherwise do something that I don't view as ethical.)

So u admit football is about and only about money. U seem to forget the roots of your English clubs, who founded them? Certainly no rich Arabs.
