Pretty interesting bit of info, add to that any potential new sponsorship to increase the budget further.

They could probably change the first team kit to green with the shahada and sword emblazoned across it and the fans would be ok with it. As long as they spend enough money I think anything will be ok with the 93%.

Like I said when this all started, it's ok to support NUFC and be critical of KSA. Supporting your football club is completely separate to your moral beliefs, if that wasn't the case then we have all supported the way Mike Ashley runs his businessess.
That's generally where I land too. Or I should say, as a fan I'd definitely have preferred nearly any other new owner - because I think the heat that's going to come with this will be annoying and I'd rather not wrangle with the morals of this as much as I know I will.

Having said that, I definitely have no problem with fellow fans being excited about it, because of your point. Where I will draw the line is when I some hear fans actively brush off or dismiss what the KSA does because they feel they need to defend them now as part of their fandom - which I've seen plenty of the past year or two.

Props to Adam Bate for the article on Sky right now. Isn't saying anything new to Newcastle fans, but does a good job of summing up the frustrations and failure of us the past 14 years.
