It matters for two reasons. Firstly that’s not what they put forward. Secondly he’s the head of state of a pretty vile regime, what effect would him being associated with the PL brand have had on that brand? The human rights groups had vowed to continue protesting ad infinitum, is that something the PL would relish? No. Hence the reason they wanted clarity. As the piracy and human rights issues related to the State, if the State was effectively running the club, then it wasn’t just an investment fund making an investment.
That’s the progress and what I wanted from the new owners. Development of the club. Players come and go and some work out and some don’t. But honestly you don’t watch the **** we do week in week out. It’s ****ing pathetic what we get served up. If you look at all the positive aspects of statistics relating to football we are always either bottom or very close to it. We have survived in the last 3 years because of Rafa being tactically spot on defensively. This season Bruce has come in and got lucky with inheriting rafas well drilled players but recently he has started to lose that quality. Our club is dying on its knees with no hope whereas you have the building blocks of something good.
Right now, I can only pray he intends to hire a director of football. That would put him ahead of the current board of two.
I think the “put it out there, this isn’t the end” from Staveley is a barely veiled threat. So in two weeks the PL stand by the cheats of Man City the reject Saudi money into Newcastle. The PL actually IS Man City. No wonder we have no chance. Haven’t heard from Puke or Hairy Hands yet. So there’s a lot more joy coming for us all.
Really. Look at the owners of most top clubs now. They all have skeletons in their closets. I appreciate the allegations on SA are significantly more let’s say controversial. But that’s against SA. Not PIF. Our own government are happy to deal with them. MSB has had dinner with our queen. So we are ok as a country to deal with him. But he can’t own a football club?
Masters arse will be nipping for a bit. Bone saw nightmares for him I reckon. I bet his inbox is a ****ing laugh though. I saw his email address published the other day,
Can’t argue with that. Our National relationship with that regime is a ****ing disgrace tbh. But arms sales innit.
You’ve been accused of being a ******, doesn’t mean you are one does it? I know in this case you actually are one but I couldn’t think of a better example.
Does that stop our countries weapon deals. Their investment. His dinners with the queen. Their investment in Disney, Facebook, BT.
Some daft ****ers would buy him though. Chelsea reportedly lobbed £50m on the table before they bought Kepa. We should have snapped their ****ing hands off.
Isn’t the Crown Prince making progress with Saudi ie bringing them out of the dark ages etc? I though he was a G?
Confirmation, in case it were needed, that you don't bother yourself with actually reading other people's posts before responding. Out of interest, in your "brain" what was I apologising for? #medicsonstandby
He literally had a journalist chopped into chunks mate. But yeah he’s meant to be progressive, let’s birds drive and everything. I reckon they’ve a way to go like, given they still publicly behead gay men like.
