As someone who's always held a relatively positive opinion of Newcastle as both a football club and as a city, it's sad to see the club act like this. I don't blame Newcastle fans for being delighted that Mike Ashley is gone but the attitude coming out from the club, the staff and certain parts of the fanbase really rubs you the wrong way at times and it's very disappointing

That video that was making the rounds on social media a while back of some Newcastle fans being very disrespectful towards the older fan voicing his opinions on the takeover wasn't nice to watch at all

Fair enough. I'd probably feel the same way if it was West Ham that was taken over. I will say though that I can vouch for at least some of the fanbase - and I'd wager it's a mostly silent majority - being uncomfortable with the Saudi aspect. We just want to enjoy supporting our club without defending/deflecting with the horrible shit the Saudi state does.
