So we should only be bothered if it's a headline on the BBC, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a thread specifically created about the downside of Saudi ownership, and Saudi Arabia just had the biggest mass execution in their history today. Given the sanctions placed on Abramovich due to the war in Ukraine it's a massive discussion point. Pretty poor comment from an admin of the forum. Do better.

Obviously its well documented not just from the BBC, but are we suppose to just ignore it and pretend that it won’t affect anything? Especially with what’s happened to Chelsea this year.

I think what has happened with Abramovich and Chelsea could set a precedent that changes football forever. Not entirely sure Chelsea deserve what is about to be honest. A lot more to a football club than it's owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't ask to be bought by Saudis, and I don't think any club deserves to be punished by the mistakes of it's owner, but with the action taken against Abramovich, where's the line?

I’m not saying it’s right, I just wanted more information on it. Just coming out and saying these people were executed without any background information just plays to a certain narrative.
