Yeh so in all seriousness, our fans could have had individual signs / banners doing it. I can completely understand why the club can’t publicly condone them though.
Any anti Saudi banners where removed mate, I saw 2 in the east stand taken. The SO37 loads where told it had to be 100% pro safc.

A banner/ flag you could have seen wouldn't have been cheap

You let a contractor in, you leave them to get on with it. If the photos hadn't been leaked on social media, someone from the club would have come in, seen them, they'd have been taken down, and no one would be any the wiser.

If someone was coming to paint my house and I’d been told he planned on drawing a massive knob on one of me walls I’d either hire someone else or be present :emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
And your question is? Just for complete clarity?

disagree. You said why didn't people mention it if it was common knowledge. It was only the day before.

That's not true, clearly, which has been confirmed.

People knew , people spoke about it publicly, it became reality. Cold hard facts.

"That the visitors were being allowed to redecorate had been public knowledge for weeks, discussed openly on online forums, in person and even on one of Wise Men Say’s own shows."

If it's so true that it was common knowledge why was it first mentioned, on here, the day the photos emerged?
 
my opinion of it all things could be better at the club
but things could also be worse at the club

but it's no way as bad as some of are fan base are making out, the way some are going on, you would think are team was ****, selling anything that could move and was fighting relegation
 
That's my point though.

It's now being claimed it was a fact and common knowledge for weeks beforehand.

That's clearly untrue otherwise it would've been common knowledge on here ... it wasn't.
It was all over social media, not on here as anything even hinting at anti owner is jumped on

Maybe because no one dared to believe we would do it yet we did
I think this is heart of the issue really. If (and I still think that is an enormous IF) SAFC had planned to have pro-Mag slogans in the BCB, was it KLD's idea, or done with his approval?

I think the logical answer to that question is No. He's been around football clubs all his life. Would Marseille have put up PSG banners when his dad owned them? Of course not. He'll understand how football rivalries work. And he'll have known that any such redecoration would have made its way into the public sphere and upset our fans.

A decision like that can only have been made by someone very junior and very naive.

You wouldnlike to think that, but until the answers come out then almost we have is speculation

Have you clicked the link in your post. They are openly discussing it on the 18th December podcast.

Just because it wasn't discussed on here doesn't mean other people didn't know. And the fact they have literal recorded proof really makes this a slam dunk

You're really saying this place is so terrifying people daren't post something so potentially shocking.

It hasn't stopped you now, are you saying it stopped you then?
It has stopped me previously and even know I pause before hitting the post button
