You got it - banned for life if they ever try to manipulate tennis scores. How DARE they!

And you thought the refs from your sport sucked ass

RIP Manchester City

Huh, never pegged Charlie Sheen for a Jets fan.

Congrats Jets fans!

Do the human rights abuses activate retroactively or are we as newcastle fans responsible only for the Saudis human rights abuses from last January?

Jokes aside....how can this possibly be enforced? How does the UK government determine certain levels of abuse that are okay and others aren't? If Saudi Arabia sanction the murder of another journalist will NUFC get a fine? Or will they simply say "no you've murdered somebody you can't play with your football team any more?" Either way frankly seems insulting to the gravitas of the situation.

I might also add....

Total UK exports to Saudi Arabia amounted to £11.1 billion,in current prices, in the four quarters to the end of Q3 2022 (anincrease of 36.6% or £3.0 billion compared to the four quarters to theend of Q3 2021).

We can sell you arms but you can't play with our football clubs....

Just for their own crimes.

This is the big question.

The Saudis aren't on the UKs list for this for example. Make of that what you will.

Our owners don't qualify as human rights abusers according to the new law.

I mean obviously they are. But the Saudis are allies so the UK govt have no interest in sanctioning them.

It looks like nothing will happen there.

Out of curiosity why did you kot say Man City?

Now let’s hold banking executives to the same standard.

Any club owned by Middle Eastern royalty or oil tycoons should immediately qualify.

We’re talking about that sport where people pull their shirts up and think it makes them look cool?

Yes because private US citizens should definitely be held directly accountable for decisions their government makes.

In the PIF the governor serves under the chairman, and the chairman is the head of the organization. The PIF owns Newcastle, and the PIF is headed by MBS effectively making Newcastle’s owner MBS.

It would be like if Ratcliffe’s INEOS bought Manchester United and installed someone other than Ratcliffe as chairman of the board, nobody would be saying that Ratcliffe isn’t the owner of Manchester United despite him not being the chairman of the club.

What do you mean propaganda. Pat Tillman died in service of this great nation. /s

Yasir Al-Rumayyan is the governor of the PIF and Chairperson at Newcastle. MBS is not on Newcastles board, so how would Newcastle get sanctioned? Its unclear how much control MBS actually exerts over the PIF.
