nufcjb Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Expect tomorrow to be a day full of letters sent to the PL by widows and human rights groups to stop the takeover. Edited October 6, 2021 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) I am conflicted too, but christ there is no ethics in big money sport we all know what it's about. Even if it is dirty money also see if they follow through on investment in the area...I won't pretend I'm not happy, but I also know footballer would be a better place without the man city and chelseas and now maybe us of teh world, but unfortunately they exist and at least we get a bit of the rollercoaster ride that's not crashing permanently into a sewer for once Edited October 6, 2021 by Tiresias Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I'm sure, like many, my levels of joy/disappointment in the (almost certain) new owners are directly tied to the manner in which they attempt to build the club and achieve success. If the statements so far about really investing from the ground up are true then that's an amazing win in my book. If they look to buy the league in 2 years with overpaid mercenaries it will be incredibly bittersweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 There are a lot of ownerships I wouldn't be happy about, tbh, much of the business world absolutely shits on society without thought for consequence. This is obviously at the extreme end of the spectrum and I'd say I'm uncomfortable about it but feel like I can rationalise certain elements to a point, particularly as my sister lives in the Middle East and talks about some of the good signs of progression (albeit very slow in some areas). Though, one thing I selfishly think to help get past this is that this is an opportunity for the region as well as the club. From what I've seen, the group want to build the club sustainably, but they seemingly want to invest in local communities and some level of infrastructure. How they go about doing this will really influence how I feel about them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) I've made my peace with the ethics of this to be honest, maybe that makes me a terrible person given my usual political leanings I'm not going to feel personally responsible for the actions of Saudi Arabia because I cheer some goals going in on a Saturday, and certainly not by some doylems who've decided that the Saudis buying a football club is suddenly the line in the sand for football/society.

The only way to ever transform countries and leaders of countries to adopt (what we consider to be) more civilised behaviours, is by talking to them, trading with them, and 'bringing them in' from the cold. That really is the only real way to transform them, though it may take a while. I have to also say that if (at the same time) they can invest a lot of money in our football club . . . then it is a W I N / W I N !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shak Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I teach lots of Saudis so this will be great conversation material, actually Might start offering private classes teaching the history of the club, charge extortionate prices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I’m well past caring about the background of the new owners. Fuck Joe Kinnear Fuck Dennis Wise Fuck Alan Pardew Fuck John Carver Fuck Tony Jimenez Fuck Derek Llambias Fuck Steve Bruce Fuck Joe Kinnear again Fuck Lee Charnley Fuck the other ridiculous cast of characters I’m forgetting Fuck every club that tried to stop this And especially fuck off to Mike Ashley, who made supporting this club such a miserable experience that many stopped caring. I am excited, but I am not as excited as I would have been 5+ years ago. Hopefully in time the passion will return fully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
