Let me share some unique Newcastle United takeover experience with you, in this very thread, because you are missing the subtlety. 

Instead of following the Saudi Arabian consortium, follow the movement of various people and organizations nominally involved. Look for bids to appear, dissolve and then reappear right before your eyes. Watch as Newcastle fans' heads swivel to find the bidder making the run for the second fit-and-proper test, not the first. Watch the tight control and decision making. Don't appreciate the failed bid that was made, appreciate the bid that wasn't because it was more difficult and less likely to be successful.

Watch the instant pressure applied once the deal is lost. Appreciate the monumental patience and discipline required to be a Newcastle supporter without doing the peniscopter or punching police horses for long stretches. Realize that they are making things that are incredibly difficult to do both mentally and tactically look so easy that it becomes boring.

Or you can just say lol Newcastle takeover bids are boring and Mike Ashley is poo poo and hate them.
