that. it's all about saying it aloud. most would have been nosy bay like good everyone to kings, to check out the award winning called called don't call back i'm you can also you can find is a cd state in history from its time as a frontier of the roman empire to its leading role in the united kingdom, industrial revolution, but nothing represents the city. most of them at saint james's park perched on a hill north of the river time saint james's talk watches of a new cost. it's one of the only premier league grounds which can be found bang in the hall to the city we called at the cathedral mail of miss be stands. although the 2nd sent,

see in england's north east knew causal fans cram into this cathedral to worship. they won that true love. the club is inseparable from the city where there's nowhere else in the okay, where it changes the mood, the counselor went in because of the plan. well, then the city is joe man. this globe exemplifies the warranty, ahold of. no. this is uh what we do find the coastal united is about unity unit 1st and after a decade of mismanagement on the pitch in the region reeling from city of budget cuts, the tide turned in, new cost. saudi arabia pulled the club, bringing investment and ambition, which promised to revitalize the whole city. the people of really seized on the kind of positive change and portions of the, of the club. one of the kind of few causes for hope on kind of cultural escape. ism

with a renewed purpose and direction, utah, so look on track to eventually join the top of the football pyramid. but alongside the imminent glory that will always be criticism from detractors about sports, washing about how and autocratic state renowned for its human rights abuses, put psych brazenly break into one of the english pools holland. i'm going into your account so far and say they are going into manchester for the, it's 1000000000 for p r. it's building for developing political samples of influx is going for developing business interests. so how has the saudi arabian ownership, one of the hearts and minds of new costs, you know, in advance? well, it's far from black and white. it's behind the sports washing narrative. there's a tail about local pride and community spirit battling against poverty and unemployment. and a government's failure to care for its own people. the coastline of no tumbling when you come to live the states and heavily in the united kingdom story past. the

trustful united is about unity and adversity. whether we're being invaded by the romans, the scots, the vikings, or whoever gets home. this club is the bottom de modification of the industrial revolution, elevated the city. as a full town, newcastle became the world's previous cold, hot mines shipyards and still works dominating the region. that era helped define new cost, so no fumble and, and the world lots of major kind of historic fis took place in the customer to have a fixed electric coolant street in the world's 1st modern steam locomotives. so there's essentially much the railways kind of originated in in new customers, but the industrialization slowly just send it across the u. k. brutal economic policies for margaret such a particularly designated the north in the 1980s. previously booming industries would gradually wiped out, leaving the remaining communities abandoned. that moment was

a moment that the reason is never really recovered from so you have a kind of sense of absence, a sense of neglect, sense of marginalization. it also has the static goal. it takes, which began and we're trying to attain which of completely teaching millions and millions of people say to the economy, gain severely. and in fact, in the city of the north face is now one of the most disadvantage regions in the u . k. they lead the nation in child poverty, unemployment, alcohol related sites, holidays and suicide rights. most of these kind of key sociological measures, avenue of these is on the wrong side of them. so daughter is the situation, the food banks now crop up to cities most vulnerable. it's a common site and much of the united kingdom, but especially in the nations. no. bill corcoran found at the new costs united fans food bank in 2010, or which states 1200 people, a which whatever reason,

people are working to one moment of money to feed the children. nobody still has the power on a policy solving children. so we need to get this sorted out and if they want, so they don't, we have to, it's no one to the new cost. so united the cities, only football club has become a haven to escape the hoss realities of northern life. with saint james's park. the fable ground where the fans descend. when you come into the city setting, uh you say black and white, every way you'll go around the corner, you'll see a flag. in the next corner, you'll see a 67 or 8 people start a 2nd. now, did you get closer and close of the noise task developing this? right, right. come on. who we gotta do? we go to way and come on, how we always get in there. saint james's park has had its moments in the sun from winning titles in the early 19 hundreds and 19 fifties to the modern errors of kevin keegan, and bought the robinson. they may not have won a major domestic trophy since 1957,

but these teams brought joy to the jordy nation through relentless attacking football call. so when never the best, but they competed, they entertained and that's old, but nodded. when the club was doing well, the city was driving when kevin keegan was in charge on it was this the castle search of the league. i need speak to business owners and say productivity increases when the company neither does well because everyone publishes into where a copy lies your release way to get about word problems. maybe it's financial problems, family problems, whatever it is. that was the relief until that is a big man with big plans decided he wanted a piece of the pie. one retail magnet market actually bought the club in 2007, everything appeared. rosie invested in the team, made big promises, and even drank points with the fans. but a series of call field blunders resulted in you costs are being relegated twice

from the premier league in 7 use. the fence turned against ashley, seeing him as yet another member of a palpable leads who neglected the north east. some of the castle funds, maybe subconsciously, almost made the connection between my godfrey and my lead as well as that they don't care about the officials. and what about when he so my gosh, and just as we also don't about the front on so you know, the teams actually twice in the purse strings as he put the club on sale attempts to kick start a fan funded takeover fil flats. many of the jodi faithful finally turn their backs on their beloved club. people for to because it's a passion they enjoy it's. it's an escape. and it wasn't any of those things in that. my gosh, the was sucking the enjoyment out of that. in october 2021. saudi arabia under the guise of it's public investment fund bought and you costs united to 300000000 pounds. following a complicated legal battle with the premier league, the football world was shaken. autocratic states had already crept into the game,

but never before was this so much blow back against foreign investment within football, sports, washing frontline, the criticism sadie arabia's defective rule. the crown prince. mohammedan solomon was in the line life due to the murder of journalists, jamal kashodi does pervades probably the most obvious example of, of why you make it score cute, a huge reputation problems at the same time as he was trying to died there, says economy and bring a lot of investment into the country there he needed somehow to get out of the property was in a school, it was a great way to do that. so it's not, it's a getting rid of the bad news. smothering that bad news with vast amounts of good news you call so fans top to the straits. the hash tag can spread through the fan base on social media. support is correct or can be is to celebrate the long awaited departure of mike ashley. celebrate like me when it's also when the state of us and

those other sites, agents fall thought as one the highlights my life spot in the club for over 25 years. you causal fans didn't choose that. you radio, that decision make them we at the feet of the premier league, and even the u. k. government on the bars, johnson which was found to have played a crucial role in lobbying for the savvy deal to be robust stamped. it was determined that the public investment fund was a separate legal entity to the sadie state. even though it is sadie, owned and funded, and chet bye crowned print, some kind of installment thing. when you look at the evidence, there's been a milestone that there's no question the british government was actively trying to fix that. to me is very public and very critical over time, nearly extensively of a transparency. but really what he was trying to do was a crash of the pay me a lease approved the sale almost the whole city was desperate. so new costs united to be under new ownership. and the promise of sadie, money flowing into other parts of the economy, was too good to turn down. there was no,

that's fine. it was going to come in at that price and there's going to promise to be investment that they did. and that's all. that's why they, what's important given the potential investments of the city, the potential benefits for the city, and hopefully as residents as well me. the cities usually deprived needs external investment because it's not coming from the u. k. government, you can entirely understand why the simple things are 9 piece of there is to really get behind that bed. and to close your eyes a little bit away from the, the more on see for the dimensions of the say, the regime. it was an item goal for the new sadie owners who were also extremely astute when picking the right l. o. as as minority shareholders. the reuben brothers building as who already held big investments in the city and amanda staley, who had built a career brokering deals for middle east investors, provided the perfect front. i don't seen the role but one of the steve we played in the takeover and since can really be understated, coughing up quite english women as the face of to take over some of the new deals

and things to say the supporters was critical. not only that, but i think she was very in depth in our engagements with the media. she has been a nice digression away from the color behind the cloud, which is the most fans didn't take much to be convinced. so either the saudis invested in the squad, renovated the training facilities, proposed the stadium expansion, and announced plans to develop the land around saint james's park. which ashley, who do i, the sold off, were allowed to wallow in dilapidation? the goal. so i pulled cash into the women's team, which was languishing in the full during mark s these rain. they now waiting to be competing in europe by 2027. that's another contribution ottoman, because you've got some people who say, so do you want to shift, given the women's rights and saudi arabia should they be invested in the women's team, the counter arguments about as well? is it such a negative to invest in the way to see me as a was a forgotten about entity in the house? united was not even part of the club before they came in. perhaps most importantly,

however, the club re established a relationship with the fans. and they started winning on daddy, how champions league qualification, followed for the 1st time in 20 years, to get champions league after 2 gas i incredible highway fighting against the leading. you know, if a new castle be competing in a watson terrace for one who would have thought bobby's walk around the store itself, miserable as agents call one of the sites. so now you can see united fans just basking in the reality of once again being competitive. the feeling like they've won back a connection to their beloved football club. but the issue of being owned by an autocratic state, renown to human rights abuses, conk be ignored. the books view will tell you who we are happy that we are above the story.
