Newcastle causing a bit of uproar with 3rd kit for next season.

Should these owners be banned from taking Clubs over?

Yes. And we shouldn't have sold half of London to Russia, China and the Middle East but it is too late now. Doesn't mean we have to sell more, though.

Re: Sportswashing

so Newcastles ( owned by Saudi's ) 3rd kit looks like the Saudi international kit


"If it is true that Newcastle United is changing its kit to match Saudi Arabia's national colours, it exposes the power of the Saudi dollar and the kingdom's determination to sportswash its brutal, blood-soaked human rights record," said Amnesty International.

"Despite all their assurances of a separation between the Saudi owners and the club, this seems like clear evidence of the regime using Newcastle to portray a positive image."
