It's one of his best, and the last frame showing the NUFC owners bombing children while their fans get excited about some signing really nails it.Irish Ian wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 9:59 am https://www.theguardian.com/football/ng ... i-takeover

Thankfully Spurs showed their class after an early shock!
Re: Newcastle United Thread
Premier League clubs have voted to temporarily block teams agreeing lucrative sponsorship deals linked to a club's owners after the Saudi Arabia-backed £305m takeover of Newcastle.
Eighteen clubs voted in favour of the ban at an emergency meeting on Monday.
Newcastle voted against and Manchester City abstained, with both questioning the legality of the move.
It means a temporary one-month ban on deals linked to club owners while the issue is debated further.
That prevents Newcastle signing sponsorship deals with companies linked to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which owns 80% of the club.
Last week, Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani said Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules must be enforced around the takeover to ensure the 20 Premier League clubs are "playing the same game".
Premier League FFP rules allow clubs to make maximum losses of £105m over a rolling three-year period.
The league said it approved the takeover after receiving "legally binding assurances" that the Saudi state would not control the club.
The PIF, which will provide 80% of funds for the deal, is seen as separate to the state.
This is despite the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, being listed as chair of PIF.
PIF has assets of £250bn, making Newcastle one of the richest clubs in the world.
Several major European clubs have sponsorship deals linked to their owners.
Manchester City's stadium, training complex and shirts are sponsored by Etihad, the airline of Abu Dhabi. City's Abu Dhabi owners took control of the club in 2008.
City successfully overturned a two-year ban from European club competition for committing breaches of Financial Fair Play rules after they were cleared of all the major charges around manipulation of sponsorship deals at a Court of Arbitration for Sport appeal last year.
The Premier League's own investigation into City for breaching FFP rules has yet to reach a conclusion.

Could be a fly in the ointment for the new owners.

It's all happening at St James Park
Newcastle captain Jamaal Lascelles involved in tunnel bust-up with Magpies team-mate Isaac Hayden after Spurs defeat - as Steve Bruce's reign descends into anarchy with players wanting Saudi-led owners to change manager to stop rot.
Also, Newcastle and Northumbria Police investigate alleged racist gesture made towards Tottenham fans during Sunday's Premier League clash at St James' Park.
