Online debate over Newcastle United takeover is tonight
Newcastle MP Chi Onwurah is hosting an online debate this evening about the implications of a Saudi takeover of Newcastle United.
Saudi's investment fund looks set to take over 80% of the club but the Labour MP and many others have serious concerns about the country's human rights record.
Among those she hopes to hear from is Hatice Cengiz, the fiancée of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi who was killed in Saudi's consulate in Turkey two years ago
Hatice Cengiz has asked The Premier League to block the takeover.
The Saudi ruler, which the wealth fund represents, denies ordering the murder of her fiancé.
The debate begins at 7 o'clock tonight and will be hosted online by the football writer George Caulkin, in conjunction with the supporter's trust.
This is how football fans are, all about the money & new players etc.
Bruce will be fired, another great pay day for him. I do fear that the enforced break from football will lessen its hold over the nation, although this is probably a good thing?Not just football fans though, the human condition in general.
We have a new Saudi owner, a few raised concerns but as we are currently doing well in the PL the majority soon stabbed our previous owner in the back.
Sad really.
Personally I have zero interest in watching football until such time as it is deemed safe for fans to attend matches.I do fear that the enforced break from football will lessen its hold over the nation

I’ve not missed it at all, that probably says more about the team I support but...Personally I have zero interest in watching football until such time as it is deemed safe for fans to attend matches.
That is a very fair point Sheff United have had a great season & I am very pleased for their fans. Next season may not be as enjoyable?Not when you are a Sheffield United fan.
Next season may not be as enjoyable?
You may not have that problemOnly if the away games in Europe involve 14 days isolation on return.
I found this list when I heard about the Sky Pick channel, I wanted to know how it can be watched if you don't have Sky and it turns out it's going to be on Freeview Ch 144. Source is The Sun, so I just hope it's true.Scottish football starting new season in August season ticket gets your home games live on TV . Watched the England v Scotland game on BBC on Saturday actually enjoyed it end to end football. We missed a penalty only for Gaza to go up and score that wonderful goal. Looking forward to the Villa game on Wednesday anyone know what channel it's on?
Thanks for that Brian.I found this list when I heard about the Sky Pick channel, I wanted to know how it can be watched if you don't have Sky and it turns out it's going to be on Freeview Ch 144. Source is The Sun, so I just hope it's true.

Mm, the Geordies would rather have a murderous regime rather than a businessman who is a bit sharp in his practices. This is how football fans are, all about the money & new players etc.
