Kicks Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 On 14/05/2022 at 08:30, HTT II said: PIF could have easily bought Man Utd or LFC given their wealth, but Arabic culture would see any success as someone else’s, they want to create their own success and so for NUFC to become the best and most successful team in the world would reflect on them their own greatness as a culture, as people and as a Kingdom. That’s why we should all be excited because I guarantee they will go all out to do just that. If they fail it will be reflected on them as failures. As for the shirt, I’m not bothered. We are not a sports washing excercise either, they can buy 300 million Twitter accounts to do that. This is an investment, a brand, a sporting venture where they want to say to the world when SA invest we become the best. If anything it’s to sport wash their own people… Your post makes no sense. You've tried to explain how they're not sportswashing by giving almost the literal definition of sportswashing as what you think they're really doing.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if Howe is right and it's Castore who've chose those colours themselves. Sell alot more shirts over there and curry favour with the Saudis. From a Saudi POV you'd think they'd wait until we're a bit more successful and playing in Europe and have more excuses to wear the shirt and on a bigger stage.

Anderson Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Think that was reported a while back, Castore pitched it & club then obviously signed off on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the kit, I don't think there will be a uturn. There has been very little condemnation of the shirt from the supporters (NUFC), with all the vitreol coming from the usual suspects (journalists). The first sign that the ownership is going to change as a direct result of negative publicity, then they're leaving themselves as a target for open season.

Agree entirely, there shouldn’t be any upturn. The usual suspects in the media will sneer at every decision they make going forward, they’re damned if they do or don’t.

They clearly want to make inroads in the Saudi market so why shouldn’t they market this kit ? My point is if they hadn’t gone down this route due to worry about backlash, where do they stop pandering to outside influences. If our new tops have visit Saudi Arabia on them they’ll get exactly the same stick from the usual suspects. They clearly think this is a good marketing move and I support the move entirely.
