TRon Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 30 minutes ago, ManDoon said: I’m one of probably a very very small minority that if you said we could get a Leicester takeover tomorrow, without any Saudi baggage I’d take it. I realize not many will be thinking the same way as me I can respect that even if I don't agree with it. I can respect the Guardian's moral stance as well, in theory they are probably right. But Leicester owners come along once in a blue moon, and they ended up at Leicester. I can remember Dave saying he would love a Randy Lerner type of owner back in the days everyone thought he was the best owner out there, but when things started to go south at Villa he threw in the towel. I wouldn't swap our new owners with anyone, I think we've got the best. Maybe not morally, but football is about the money not morals, and that's not our fault.

DoricGinola Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 An amazing 48 hours that no-one saw coming. It's great to feel positive about our club once again. Something missing for a certain 14 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a ball kicked and they are all absolutely bricking it already. Truly fantastic stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoricGinola Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 The hypocrisy we are seeing now from all and sundry is astounding but not unexpected. Bricking it is about right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandy Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) I don't care what anyone says. Ashley's legal action is what forced this through so quick. The PL's CAT QC probably went straight back to them after the hearing last week and told them to do a deal, and pronto.

Ridiculous to think that 6 of these clubs valued the brand so much they tried to leave and form their own league just to line their own pockets a few months ago. Hypocrisy at its finest!

FloydianMag Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Can you imagine the reaction of the so called big 6 if Qatar decide to buy Leeds, the rage by them and their supporters would something to see given the response to ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rompe Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Can't wait for Assad to buy Watford or ISIS to buy Norwich, in this free-for-all market. Will we then see the same over the top reaction to those deals as we have to ours? I doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhoywhonder Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I genuinely didn't think I would actively enjoy the hate coming from other clubs, and yet here I am. I have many questions and severe doubts about the new owners, as ecstatic as I am to see ashley gone, I'm very conflicted about those incoming. That's to be expected surely? But the reaction of all these cnuts who are suddenly pearl-clutching about daily life in Riyadh for (insert who the f*ck they pretend to care about today)? Nope. Not having it. Its ALL about competition. Fellow relegation strugglers have one less club to worry about. In time, the top 6 might have one more. Tough sh*t. Am I happy to be supporting a tool of the Saudi sportswashing F1/Boxing/whatever operation? Absolutely not. Am I bothered that it is pissing off the rest of the twats in the PL? Nope, they can go f*ck themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I just can’t believe the brass neck on the other PL clubs Its incredible, they tried to destroy the league a couple of months ago. Absolutely shameless bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 It's not the same scale but the Leicester takeover is not without baggage. King Power is a significant donor to the far right Thai political party associated with its military junta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not owned by a Saudi Arabian company, so that's a strange comparison. We're owned by Saudi Arabia itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking hate Levy, there's nobody outside of Masters and Hoffman that's more corrupt. I still reckon he arranged for the single business that was in the way of the new Spurs stadium being built to be burned down, plus he's always a complete shyster when it comes to any dealings that Spurs are involved in. Suspicious fire at business... Edited October 8, 2021 by Armchair Pundit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
