Tariq in particular seems to have a personal vendetta against Staveley, and by extension Howe.

 

I noticed he's went in on Howe a few times.

 

They're fizzing he didn't give them the soundbite they craved and so now is seemingly a full fledged Saudi lover.

Ironically Tuchel also gave meaningless soundbites on the Abramovich issue and he was lauded for it.

 

Conveniently forgotten that he went on record to dedicate his Club World Cup victory to his boss just a few weeks earlier as well.

Has (to my knowledge, open to being stood corrected) never went for Guardiola to the same extent even though the UAE and KSA have the same abhorrent record on human rights, are military allies and are committing atrocities in Yemen together and all the rest of it.

I’ve mentioned this before, but I would grudgingly respect Tariq and Delaney’s views on sportswashing if they have been wholly consistent on the matter all the way through. But they haven’t, it doesn’t take a scrupulous search to see both we’re deafeningly quiet on Abramovich for years, even complimentary in some cases, until the prevailing political winds made that untenable.

 

Tariq in particular seems to have a personal vendetta against Staveley, and by extension Howe.

 

 

 

 

Really struggle with this sports washing thing. The furthest thing from my mind after the Arsenal game and all the scenes on the pitch was the kingdom of Saudia Arabia, or how nice they are because of some progress with the club. So strange man.

The reporting / reaction on such an issue never going to be sincere anyway due to the inescapable, underlying dynamic of football tribalism.

He's might be a hypocrite, but he's actually written some very good pieces of late. Particularly on the World Cup.

Oh aye, I've said it many times before, but at least he uses his platform to bang the drum regarding Sportswashing, human rights abuses in football, etc. Even if he is a thoroughly unlikeable chap.

they bought the wrong club man. 

its like buying celtic.

huge and invincible domestically... but thats it.

no regular competition at home so they never really achieve in europe.

you can throw huge amounts of money at the best players in the world but they soon get bored of winning domestic doubles and trebles and then want out.

I agree, but I'd be thinking, they were likely miles ahead of everyone before the super league news broke officially, they were probably daft and naive like Real Madrid etc, Barca, they will all have been thinking they were onto a winner had they pulled that shit off, now, it's time to rethink their greed I guess.

One of the reasons they bought PSG was to win Platini's support for the world cup via pressure from Sarkozy.
