I& #39;m speaking prematurely given nothing official has been announced regarding a takeover but I& #39;ve a few thoughts on the #NUFCTakeover and how #NUFC fans will react and how pundits/opposition fans will react when this takeover happens.
As a fan of #NUFC why the fuck wouldn& #39;t I be ecstatic that the club I& #39;ve supported for years might be taken over and given a new lease of life after the damage Mike Ashley has done over the years.
Am I going to break out the cans? You& #39;re fucking right I am.

Does the Saudi investment cause concern?
Financially - No
Morally - It& #39;d be remiss of me not to mention their appalling human rights record. I& #39;ve been vocal in the past when Sky held the Ruiz/Joshua fight there so yes, it does raise some issues morally.

But on that, we& #39;ll have Miguel Delaney and many others bringing up this issue over and over again.
It& #39;s understandable. Football isn& #39;t just about football anymore but it& #39;s unfair to hold the fans of #NUFC accountable for this takeover.
We don& #39;t get a say who buys the club.

If the various world governments and United Nations won& #39;t do anything, what exactly is the average #NUFC fan expected to do to?
They& #39;ll watch their team and likely won& #39;t give a fuck where the money comes from much like fans of other top clubs in the world.

I don& #39;t know if it& #39;s possible to seperate morals from supporting a football team because I& #39;ve never been down this road before.
There are genuine concerns out there but there& #39;s a lot of faux outrage from fans who& #39;d likely be ecstatic if their club was in this position.

Am I excited about a potential #NUFCTakeover?
Absolutely.
For years #NUFC fans have been apathetic towards their football club but there& #39;s something to be genuinely excited about given the years of shite we& #39;ve been served up.
