AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Possibly the point of the board is to make to look like it’s not just one man making the decisions. Yep, 200 separate investments, worth $350bn, and MBS is choosing each one after careful consideration and using his personal experience and skill, then signing it all off...but via a ‘fake’ board so that he doesn’t take all the credit. Ok. Come on, he’s head of a royal dictatorship that controls massive state wealth. Obviously it’s hard to say exactly how it’s run, but I doubt it follows conventional business practices all that much. That said, it’s still debatable how much it should matter to the O&D test.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I like the idea of MBS sitting in front of Champ Man picking our targets or playing with a Subbuteo set tinkering with formations and deciding on whether Hendrick or Almiron should be starting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 We're not a shitty club. We're a beautiful club with a shitty owner. He's fucking cancer. You wouldn't say you had a shitty Grandma because she was riddled with cancer. If she appointed Steve Bruce as her doctor, aye. Shit gran for wankers.

Yorkie Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I think both sides are right in the "we're a shitty club," "we're not a shitty club" debate. Newcastle United, the club we grew up loving unconditionally, is everything Rocker says. But it doesn't exist atm. The imposter in its place - who I do not support (hence wanting us/it to lose) - is very much a shitty club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I doubt very much MBS would give a single shit as to what we did and I don't think the premier league realistically do either. I guess the point being though if for some reason he did and told whoever is meant to be in charge rename the club 'I'm glad I had Khasoggi killed he deserved it FC' would they realistically say, uh no we are legally a seperate entity and I have authority here or would it be of course your majesty, and that I guess is why the premier league say he should do a fit and proper person test...

Broadsword Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Are we really saying MBS won’t have the ability to make any decision he wants to should he feel the need? Also, was he legally charged with head lopping and piracy? Edit to say, exactly that Tiresias. That’s why he should rightly be in the owners test.

How can MBS be charged with lopping someone's head off. Its the law of the land so its a judicial killing, the same as the USA who executed that woman in the gas chamber the other day, that's also a judicial killing. Should Trump be charged with murder, because he was the one that said executions in the USA should be resumed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawberry Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 We will be a toy of MBS dude plays games online and spends tons of money on them. He will invest silly money and he will sack Managers for funny reasons. You saw Tuchel got the boot at PSG for saying something not that outrageous in the papers our managers will get the boot for a whole lot less than that under MBS leadership. Getting beat by bottom of the league team there will be a call from MBS to bin the manager before he speak the press. All in all him acting as he wants is much better than the neglect we are facing now under Ashely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Currently a shitty club, potentially one of the greatest clubs in the world. Not sure why it's even being discussed. Because some people have a problem swallowing the bolded bit, which I can understand if you are from Stoke or Norwich, less forgivable if you are local. Luckily for us, PIF and the likes of Rafa and Keegan understood the potential would set their sights higher as a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s a matter of fact that he is directly responsible for giving the order for that then? Or is it just the premier league that are going to make the determination that he is?
