Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to react after Crystal Palace fans displayed a banner protesting against the club’s new owners.
What’s the story?
Well, Crystal Palace’s Homesdale Fanatics created a banner listing the atrocities committed by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia.
It comes after the club’s Chairman, Steve Parish, was among the most vocal in a Premier League meeting organised to prevent Newcastle from making lucrative sponsorship deals (The Athletic).
In that meeting, only Manchester City defended the Magpies, so it’s quite evident that the majority of the Premier League aren’t happy.
Supporters clearly do not agree with the takeover either, as the aforementioned banner suggests.
Now, it seems some Newcastle fans have mixed views on the display.
Some reacted badly, while others actually acknowledged where Crystal Palace fans were coming from.
In all honesty, it’s a very messy situation, and one we expect to continue throughout the season as other club’s fans show similar frustration.

If not for Callum Wilson being the prolific marksman that he is, Newcastle would’ve lost at Selhurst Park without a doubt.
The Magpies had just 25% of possession, and could only muster six shots to Crystal Palace’s 14 – it was a shocking display (WhoScored).
Graeme Jones will be in disbelief as to how his side even earned a point.
Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi were in attendance, and we’re sure they were not too pleased with what they witnessed.
Despite the joy of Steve Bruce and Mike Ashley departing, there is still so much work to be done on Tyneside.
For now, let’s see what the Newcastle fans on Twitter though of Crystal Palace’s banner…
