Newcastle fans have slaughtered Mike Ashley for his morals/ethics/mistreatments/attitudes towards his workers... but are currently smashing open the cans for the Saudi Arabian royal family?

Genuinely, my only intended point has nothing to do with living perfectly free of shady corporations (they& #39;re impossible to avoid). And I& #39;m not interested in taking the moral high ground.

Simply, it& #39;s hard to ignore double standards.

Fans very publicly shot down MA over his abysmal treatment of SD staff (and were v right to do so) but there& #39;s barely an issue with the Saudis because they& #39;ll pump millions into the club.
