True. Our owner maybe loaded but isn't exactly arsed about spending his vast array of cash. Or even the vast array cash we get from the Premier League TV deal.

Why? Wonga aren't some evil company.

Yay, Jaygull's gonna go on another fun and pointless rant

They really shouldn't, absolute balls.
Manchester United players should really boycott Manchester United, until it ends its commercial deals with the betting and alcohol companies. And your sponsored by Nike ffs. I'm sure Manchester United have done a full social audit on all of your sponsors to determine they are all ethical.

Leaves us with Twitter, which apparently means he's either injured, pissed off with the Wonga deal, wants more money, been seen in casinos, had a bust-up with Pardew after the Sunderland home game last year or is being kept on a separate training schedule due to Ramadan. Take your pick.

What has loan sharking got to do with those two things? Don't worry, it won't be a pointless rant, it's because Wonga literally is an evil company by any moral definition. There are no big companies that don't have morally questionable sides to them, whether that be in the form of tax evasion or the way in which their products are produced, but they are endemic problems of a larger economic framework. Wonga are just a bunch of whopping great thundercunts, and if Cisse made it clear this was going to be an issue for him ages ago, then Newcastle should have sorted out an arrangement.

How do you know what he spends his money on?
Obtuse
If he was ethical then why not previous sponsors? Does the Qur'an have a section saying what type of money is good and bad while saying alcohol branding is fine?

Wonga really aren't that bad at all.
They are very upfront about their fees and charges, if people use them and are too stupid to repay the fees that they've set out then that's not Wonga's fault. Payday loan companies are normally shitty, I agree, but Wonga is the best of them.

Refuses to wear a top with their logo on for religious reasons.
Anyone else see the irony?
Number 1
Muslim's aren't supposed to drink at all, so how alcohol is branded is probably irrelevant to them.
Then again there are claims Cisse is a regular at a casino on Tyneside, and gambling is another Muslim no-no. If true, it doesn't help.
The problem is that there's all sorts of misinformation and reliance on second-hand sources given the club never open their mouth for anything apart from special offers on our new training kit. Until then anything could be true.

Aye, it's awesome. If anyone takes out a Wonga loan for a full year they deserve to be in the amount of debt that it will come with.
If Cisse is against Wonga on the grounds that under Sharia law no-one/company can benefit from the lending of money, why was he so happy to promote Virgin Money and Northern Rock?
That said, if he made this clear to the powers that be earlier that he wasn't going to be happy with it - there should have been a solution sorted earlier because he's a key player for the club. I have a feeling he wants a new contract or something.

How do the Islamic banks make money then? They dont do loans/mortgages, no interest on accounts? Load of fucking bullshit.

Though customers I've red elsewhere say that Islamic banks simply charge more on your loan outright rather than on interest.
