There is no 0.1%, as the .3 in 33.3% is a recurring number.

33.3% +33.3% + 33.3% = 99.9%

Probably missed this being explained a few pages back, but why didn't he have a problem with Virgin Money?

 

Does the Quaran mention typical APR and have a maximum % before it is unacceptable and they kick up a fuss?

 

I find all this very odd if true.  This is the same Cisse that frequents Aspers FFS.  Seems like he wants away.

Just showing there is a 0.1% but people are ignorant to it so dismiss it by answering it does not exist.

every 100 times Cisse is found offside next season the club add a letter from the Wonga sponsor to his shirt. That's a fair compromise.

 

he'll be wearing the full sponsor by the end of September.

 

[Unbelievable]

I just think Cisse would put in a transfer request if he wanted to go, rather than go through this nightmare-ish legal/ethical process. What would be the point? If a player wants to leave, he puts in a transfer request (or ask his agent to start pimping him around in the press).

 

I don't know which part of the Islamic ethical code the Wonga deal goes against. What does his gambling have anything to do with anything? How is that exploiting the poor?

 

Well its stupid because he wore a bank sponsor last season... anyway until there are actual quotes from cisse this is probably bullshit

 

That just doesn't hold any water for me. I wouldn't put banks and Wonga in the same category, certainly not from an ethical point of view.

 

If it's on religious ground then they are the same, it's the interest earned regardless of how much.

As explained before banks like Virgin money offer no interest loans to muslims.

 

didnt know this, ok well maybe he has a point then, still think its a bit ridiculous, but hopefully there can be a compromise

 

I don't so what product diversification has to do with whether a company is reprehensible or not. If Wonga starts offering saving accounts, would that make them OK for muslims?

[AyeDubbleYoo]

The correct answer isn't on the poll... Wonga aren't a great company and Cisse is entitled to object.

 

I think he wants out and it's a convenient excuse.

 

Same, Suarez 2.0 if you will.

 

I won't.

[BillClinton]

of course this is happening..

[Ste]

Cisse will be here come September, I'm very confident of this. Of course, this is entirely baseless.

I have a hard time siding with any decision based on religion. Sorry Papi 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I have a hard time siding with any decision based on religion. Sorry Papi 

 

Me too, but the same could be said about decisions based on money. Like having Wonga as a sponsor.

 

Neither side is really wrong TBH, obviously Cisse's interpretation of Islam is a bit 'flexible' but that can be said about the vast majority of religious people.

People don't believe in tenths. It's just not a unit most humans register.

If I may offer a different take on this I think the whole thing is pretty stupid to be honest. I'm sorry but just browsing through the Wonga website it's pretty damn clear what the interest rate is, pages to break down how it's calculated and understood and how it's applied to short term 'payday' loans only. Their advertisement seems to revolve around that principle but when are people gonna start taking responsibility? If you sign an agreement to lend £100 or whatever and have it paid off within 2 months with the clear total cost outlined you've only got yourself to blame for not paying it back. no other lending company in the world would shrug these cases off over moral principles man, the same rules apply for everybody.

 

Aye the APR is extortionate but what's the government done about it?

 

As others have mentioned nobody had a problem with Northern Rock / Virgin Money who would still take action if you couldn't pay their loans back and still charge interest. Rich coming from a bloke who sits in Aspers like.

 

If it's because they don't offer 0% interest rates under Sharia law well that's a personal choice based on religious beliefs but f*** me man, all this over a shirt sponsor.

This.

 

I've been out of the loop for a bit and just catching up here. Can't believe this is an issue, fuck off with your religious crap keep that made up bullshit out of the sport. We've been sponsored by a bank who offer loans since Cisse has been employed by the club, what really is the difference here as JS says people need to take responsibility for their own actions, really.
