beIN The Know Podcast

The Newcastle United takeover is creating more than a managerial headache.
We have an open chat on the conflicts for fans and the difficulties covering the Newcastle United takeover.

Why can't fans just celebrate the arrival of their new owners without the conflict?

That's the question asked by The Athletic's Newcastle United Correspondent Chris Waugh

Oliver Holt, Chief Sports Writer for the Daily Mail thinks Newcastle United is being somewhat "picked on" with the new temporary restrictions on sponsorship BUT can not reconcile with journalists celebrating the takeover without reference to human rights abuses - especially the murder of fellow journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

And fans donning tea towels on their heads. Just no.

Mark Ogden, Senior Football Writer for The Athletic, based in Manchester, sees the parallels with Manchester City and human rights and was in St James's Park on Sunday. What do City fans really care about?

And with Manchester United preparing to host Liverpool at Old Trafford is Ole really safe? Results need a dramatic turnaround in Europe and this weekend for Solskjaer to survive.

And we have some fascinating Copy Casualties to bring you with one referee revealing his true colours and Sir Alex pouring over the papers.
