From my (serially!!) limited knowledge of football, it can sometime be 'Better the devil you know ...'
Although I think in the case of Mr Ashley, most fans will be willing to take a punt on a new international owner on the basis that things can only get better - as the song has it.
I wish them luck, and hopefully the new injection of enthusiasm will get them moving the right way again.

Oh, no, APG, that can't be right. The Premier League has a "fit and proper person test" ...

It's now up to the Saudis:_

I wonder what Dennis Coleman, Stephen Vaughan, Craig Whyte and John Ryan, all of whom have failed the "fit and proper person test" (mostly for financial irregularity, or in Ryan's case because he didn't have enough money!) make of it all. Probably not as upset as Hatice Cengiz ...

The fiancee of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi has said the Saudi Arabian-backed takeover of Newcastle United is "heartbreaking" for her ... "It seems like they [Newcastle fans] don't care about what happened to Jamal, they just care about the financial future," added Cengiz, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast. "I want to remind them that there is something more important than money, that there is something more important than the financial situation of this club. There are really more expensive values that we have and we need in our life always."

There were also some openly Gay men outside the stadium celebrating too. In Saudi they would be imprisoned and beaten. Fans are either ignorant to the facts or could not care a less whose dirty money buys their club as long as they can get a good game of football to watch.
Personally , its not easy to forget what goes on in other countries unless its convenient to do so. These atrocities are reported on the news frequently. The head of the conglomerate who has bought the club is the Saudi prince who imprisoned his sister for years because she had a mind of her own, and now she seems to have disappeared of the face of the earth.

Bednobs there’s a lot of hypocrisy around ( not you )
We are happy to sell arms to the Saudis ,we are the second highest arms dealer behind the United States who, coincidentally took a massive monetary investment to help create Disney World , when Britain stops this, then I’ll be one not celebrating the new owners of NUFC

Really? and who actually is the 'WE' Because I'm sure the same people criticising the takeover by the Arabs of NFC are criticising the fact we have anything at all to do with them at all. I'm sure those selling Arms to them are also celebrating closer links through sport with them.
