Troll Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Just to be argumentative. In the UK it was illegal to be homosexual Women were not allowed to vote Men were shot because they refused to pick up a rifle all within fairly recent history, so as a county we have developed and changed etc etc so why cant you accept that the Saudis are now trying to follow that same path? So if we keep labelling them and blaming then forever, how will they ever be able to be accepted, regardless of what they do? There has been massive changes within Saudi over the last few years, or would you all want them to be punished indefinitely? Because they're fucking not.

Guest neesy111 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Not wanting to be a troll etc, but, can anyone who does not want Saudi money actually say why their money is any different to any other multi billionaires? It's a regime that kills people for fun, this isn't private money. pretty uneducated view mate, sorry to say No it's f***ing not. yep it is what do you know of the history of Saudi Arabia? ever been and worked/lived there? Fuck me, you've been brainwashed or a plant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sole reason for buying a football club is sportswashing, trying to distract from the horrific human rights abuses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Moralising over football after what its become in the last 20 years. Particularly with PL ownership. They'd be the worst of a bad bunch. The issue is they haven't siphoned money elsewhere as somewhat of a cover. If this was a Saudi businessman which for all intents and purposes was still Royal money there wouldn't be this reaction. The game as we know and love it went years ago lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game as we know and love it went years ago lads. I feel like I'd try and adopt this mantra if we did get taken over by Saudis. As you say, the political/economic side of the game is already a bit knackered - if the owner kept a distance and wasn't having an actively and intentional detrimental effect on the club, then I could probably live with just about anyone at the top of the tree. Just miss supporting the club terribly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Well to be fair, some of you were wanking off to the WSJ a few days ago, so have a look at this https://www.wsj.com/articles/saudi-arabia-is-changing-fast-11572909143 Why can you not accept that some countries/regimes etc are not the same as yours? As I said before the UK is no saint, we had Kings and Queens that were as bad if not worse, just because or recent history is different to theirs, why should they be punished if they are trying to evolve? FWIW I'd be opposed to Henry VIII buying the club too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
