Newcastle is also owned by oil money. Isn’t it?

Manchester City, Chelsea, Sheffield... There are many more clubs with sketchy as fuck owners (or previous owners) who made their money exploiting other human beings. I'm glad there are some leagues with actual rules against these sort of things but in France and especially England it's a free for all where I'm pretty sure Osama Bin Laden and Stalin could have co-owned Everton or something as long as they promised to invest enough (blood) money.
Yes, they are. So this isn't the great feeling I have annually when PSG fails in the CL. I will say that Newcastle is run incredibly well now with a good plan for identifying talent that matches their play and without splashing a TON of money. That isn't to say half the players they bought would have gone there without that oil money, or that they could have spent that money without it being from an oil state; but they have spent much less than PSG or City.
Yeah most fanbases are happy when it's them getting the oil money, I don't mind that part honestly.
I use the oil money to destroy the oil money
I agree, except when they play Newcastle, who are less far along in their sportswashing project and whose owners are even worse. The fact that PSG are so incompetently run is definitely a good thing; Newcastle's ownership appearing to be good at this an extreme disappointment.
Every Newcastle win makes the world a sadder, more dangerous place.
I don't see Mboop staying much longer. Question is if RM will take him because it seems they've already planned well for life without.
I'll admit, I used to like PSG. But that was only because my favorite player was on their team: Messi. But the way the PSG supporters treated him definitely soured me towards the team. Now, I revel in their defeat.
The way they treated Rabiot was what made me hate them and I'm not even a Rabiot fan. They're terrible with their academy players
Except this time, I was actually hoping for a decent PSG team But going to Newcastle with only 2 midfielders, 4 forwards that can't track back for the team, it was a sure failure from the start I hope they can get back on their feet for the next match
