Spoke to my Brentford supporting mate tonight as McParland previously worked there. He said he was sacked from there (and Rangers) for leaking stuff to the media. Not sure if exactly true but worrying if so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Brave Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 20 minutes ago, midds said: Levy and Spurs are clearly terrified. Honestly think they thought they had the PL in their back pocket and could simply pick up the phone and dictate policy and influence decisions. They were sitting there smugly just waiting for the official rejection of the takeover and thought they could shake off the ESL disgrace they were completely complicit in and simply rejoin the elite as they've recently become accustomed to. Then the lawyers had their say in court last week and the situation changed irrecoverably imo (don't know for sure). Firmly believe the PL have conducted a 100% climbdown as a result of what had been heard and told PIF to settle the piracy and it would be waved through immediately which is exactly what happened. The imagined power and influence of the so called Big 6 is essentially null and void when compared to the potential exposure of some of the PL dealing. Passing the takeover was the lesser of 2 evils. Noses firmly out of joint in North London and elsewhere. The other clubs aren't pissed off it's been passed, they're fucking apoplectic they never had another chance to throw another stick in the wheel as has been mentioned by others. The tables have been turned and it's absolutely fucking glorious. The bile and hatred from others is fuelling me, bring the cunt on. Superb post, you nailed it.

Superior Acuña Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) It's been interesting to see people sneer at Newcastle fans, then go back to looking forward to England's FIFA match this weekend to try to qualify to play in a stadium in Qatar that was built by murder and human rights abuses. Built by human rights abuses specifically in order to host those game, and that are directly facilitated by participating in the tournament through its qualification. (absolutely do sneer at that TF shite) Edited October 8, 2021 by Inferior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I dunno if the court cases really were that frightening, maybe, but suspect it could be dragged out a lot, I kinda just wonder if that was how long it took for tensions with qatar to ease and to hammer out agreement about bein. Worth noting that part of that is Saudi Arabia have promised to act on beins behalf to crack down on illegal streams and pay out a substantial settlement for damages. Agreeing that doesn't take overnight... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Is there no way NO could build something to represent the fans? As if Alex and his cronies are the be all and end all at the moment. An NO supporters group sounds so fuckin appealing right now. Before I tried to forget about the toon, I used to listen to true faith after most games as it used to calm my rage by giving me another view point, can't think of nowt worse now.

But There is zero doubt that our new owners are the absolute worst people in so many ways. It's fucking wrong that these people are allowed to own major football clubs. That's a big probelm in football. Yes, other clubs have bad owners and own clubs for all the wrong reasons but make no mistake, ours are by far the worst. That's just a fact. But Its not our fault. Its the football authorities and goverments that have allowed the situation to come to this in modern football. But Dont fucking go jumping around St James' in Bin Salman mask or wave a Saudi Arabia flag. Thats fucking terrible in a 100 different ways. No, just dont. Even though its not our fault, people will give us shit. And they have the right. Dont push back and argue, cos they are in sense right. Its a small price to pay for what we're about to have. Well said, I agree with all of this. Saying that (while knowing very little about the organisation), I also don’t want to be in a situation where everything to do with the Saudis is negative and we act like everyone associated with PIF supports the barbaric human rights abuses or that it’s all blood money etc. I don’t really buy this ‘sportswashing’ narrative AI like to keep referring to also. I feel the investment of countries like KSA, UAE and Qatar in sports has led to far more media attention on their human rights records, so I’ve learnt a lot more about them and to be honest, it’s not positive. At the end of the day we should neither feel guilty about the PIF investment, nor should we see them as our heroes. Like other countries they are simply investing in businesses as both mutually benefit. Staveley and the Reubens are the heroes here and I like to think that’s how this has been perceived by the fans also.
