Kimbo Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 It’s a shame just because I wanted to see the haters in the media upset, and there is obvious corruption going on here, but I was never really sold on Saudi ownership and I’m not sure the sport as a whole is worth me increasing my interest. The sport is bought and paid for. Fans are just customers to the clubs, leagues and broadcasters, there to be milked, patronised, then told to fuck off. Everyone knows it deep down, it’s why everyone is so fucking bitter. Even ESL fans, that on the face of it get everything everyone else wants, are miserable because of it.

And totally worth it if it led to better ownership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I'm surprised at the fact there was still potential interest from Saudi given how long this has taken even without this latest fuckery. The culture there is very "save face". This whole thing is the exact opposite of that. I couldn't see it happening after it never getting anywhere initially and I still can't see it now. Its just the fucking hope that drags you on for the ones who keep in with this daily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I know no one knows the answer but why 6 months specifically? Is it because the case load doesn't allow to meet till then? Do they HAVE to comply with the request for information? What's to stop the case meeting again in Jan or Feb and there still being an impass? All so frustrating there appears to not be a single jot of good news anywhere around the club at the minute, just as my daughter is showing an interest in football she frankly needs to stay clear of the club.

SUPERTOON Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Got to wonder where De Marco got his title of the messi of sports lawyers from as well if the reports on not having evidence ready are true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Every single person involved in every single aspect of this, be it involved, third party or reporting on it, appears to be a complete fucking shyster. It’s fucking tiresome and dull as fuck, absolutely fucking sick of it - it’s every bit as bad as watching the utter dross on the field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any legal eagles have any clue as to how this is anything other than a pisstake? @B-more Mag (soz)? Hey ho. Another season of Bruce. The club's statement is so vague it's impossible to know what's going on with any level of confidence. Super frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
