Once it was known he was pleading guilty the Sunderland supporters dropped him and said they'd never have him back ... ... what he did was terrible but nothing compared to these people.
Really, you do not appear qualified to label anyone as ignorant. A few less asterisks, a little less incoherence and a little more acceptance of some obvious truths might start you on the way if you make an effort. The human rights issue will never go away . It will get worse actually, and seeing Howe avoid questions , when he'll normally talk the hind legs off a donkey tells anyone all they need to know. There are so many abominations committed by the Saudis now- it is worse there now than ever- that the stories will be never ending. You will be cheering on a collective human shield for a man who ordered a journalist whom he knew personally, to be killed and disposed of in an embassy basement. And cheering on a country where to even speak a word against the grotesque regime of which he is the senior politician, will see you at minimum arrested and incarcerated, and possibly murdered. Enjoy.
So how should he have answered the question then? All you ****ing keyboard warriors are quick to highlight what he hasn’t said! Reading some of the childish and just downright ****ing ignorant comments on here there’s nothing he could have said that you lot wouldn’t have jumped on and twisted to fit a certain agenda.
You sound a bit angry..... Angry that the question was asked? Or angry that the non answer to the question was questioned? Either way, he is going to asked about it. In the words of Chester Bennington.... "Just 'cos you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there".
I don't know what people think of him on his own forum but he's way out of his depth on here isn't he. He obviously doesn't see the stupidity in spending his days shouting at strangers on a forum then calling them internet warriors. He probably thinks irony is what his mam does to his match day tea towel when she's washed it
Ironically Howe did answer the big question loud and clear. "Are you prepared to take Saudi blood money and totally refuse to acknowledge that's what you're doing?" His actual answer, as everyone present knows, wasn't just a spontaneous answer from a football man, it's been discussed and agreed upon by everyone involved. He'll have also laid awake in bed practicing his responses and hoping he can pull it off. Staveley and the club obviously believe they can coach Howe in the Boris Johnson style of bluster and avoidance of difficult questions ... they're very wrong. In the space of one short interview they've backed Howe into a very tight corner from which he'll never escape. It's amusing that someone who looks so much like a Thunderbird puppet should have Lady Penelope pulling his strings. The man didn't lose his dignity, he handed it to her on a plate.
You have answered your own question. Howe COULDN'T answer, and that is the point. And for a man so garrulous in the past and so free with his opinions, his reticence was far more eloquent than any of his previous utterances. But you may not be able to see this
As the questioner said "For such an ethical man", it's been shown that he has none as long as the money's right
