Guest firetotheworks Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I can't think of anything worse than us being owned by Saudis or Qataris, if those involved have anything to do with their human rights violations, like. Big 'if' of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymc1 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I'm trying to work out what offence I'm meant to take against a Saudi owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloydianMag Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 If it is KSA and they are trying to get one over on Qatar in their ongoing feud it could mean a huge amount of investment in NUFC. These people also know how to get around FFP etc. Interesting times could be ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I'm trying to work out what offence I'm meant to take against a Saudi owner. Depends on what they're involved in, but providing they're a Saudi or Qatari with enough money to buy a football club, that's the second point on the checklist ticked. Early days, I'm just slightly apprehensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, when you think about it, ethical capitalism and/or consumerism is as much a myth as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or the female orgasm. At several unavoidable points on the supply chain of our modern lives, someone, somewhere is suffering, quite possibly horribly. In the face of such inexorable misery the only logical choice is to not let it bother you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toondave Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 They're a nasty bunch as it stands but the crown prince is somewhat of a radical. He was behind the recent law that allows women to drive, has been an outspoken critic of the ultra conservative nature of Saudi society, has put huge restrictions on religious police, and has driven massive reforms of the economy. Certainly not ideal but they've been showing massive potential for change in the last couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before this dude came to power. No idea if he was behind that from his previous role though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
