From the PIF website "Under the chairmanship and guidance of HRH Prince Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Board is responsible for overseeing PIF’s long-term strategy, investment policy and performance." I think you are getting confused the Premier League didn't say there were no connections between PIF and Saudi they received reassurances that the Saudi Gov wouldn't be involved in the day to day running of the club. Putting it in other terms the links between our club and it's funding are more explicit than they are between Putin and Abrhamovich. -

I like the pictures but the way he uses words to help convey his points and jokes is very annoying. I wish he could satirise multiple complex events in modern football with less words and more pictures.

If they don't you'd worry about the people basing their views solely on a cartoon.

Where did he say all fans out of interest? He specifically says "except the ones who spent the last month's asking for just this" and "some fans".
-
Also for the ones saying he's having a pop at all fans he clearly doesn't he says "all the ones who" and it's "some fans rolled out the red carpet"

"He was funny when he was nasty about other clubs"

Everything in there could be verbatim from some of the takeover threads though so not sure what you are all getting upset about
