Laughable how they imply they don't know anything about the Khasogghi incident. Not that it shocked the world and was all over the press. News to them all this controversy surrounding they wealthy owner.

For me it was, I didn't consider it beneath me as that implies some kind of superiority, it’s more I just don’t like the horrible kernts. Further to that if the same mob bought SAFC. I wouldn’t go back.

I think he’s struggling to understand how many people disliked the Saudis long before this. It was never apparent until this particular turd dropped out.

It's pretty obvious that some of the dimwits on here have had their bottom lips out since they decided at the weekend that our prospective new owners may be of a Tory persuasion. It's Feckin pathetic and beggars belief. It shows these posters up for the ignorant simpletons that they are. For...

Not, it isn't about coercition here. Two relatives from the same royal family own two clubs in the same league. They can give points to eachother whenever the other needs it.

Assuming all the playing and coaching staff agree to throw the game.
Are you talking about when the teams meet each other or if they're playing against other teams?

I don't know. He won't be their manager forever anyway.

This is the whole point of sports washing.
Very few fans will care who owns them if they're winning trophies.

Exactly. I have nothing against rich owners liking football and investing in it. But when a country decides they need to wash their barbaric image buying clubs in the Europe top leagues I find it disgusting really.

Don't think I have seen anyone that has said they have not heard about the Khasogghi incident.

But you have defended him. You have even made excuses. If his terrible human rights record doesn't bother read up on the court case that WWE shareholders have brought against the company. One of the items is the deal between the WWE and the Saudis. The WWE lied to them about the deal and money coming in. The Saudis aren't paying on time and aren't paying the agreed amounts. The stock price has plummeted. The State broadcaster went bust they have refused to pay any money owned on the deal. They have even delayed or refused to pay for TV rights and shows in their own country. Add on to this their refusal to pay for the TV rights for the PL and illegally streaming it from BeIN Sports. Maybe the deal is being delayed because MBS hasn't shown the hard cash yet?

It doesn't bother me if a billionaire wants to have a nice play thing and pump his money into it. But this is different. It's sportwashing and a PR stunt.

It's a very pleasant Saturday the sun's out and 99 percent of nufc fans even in these difficult circumstances are probably enjoying time with their families. then you have the 1 percent of mag fans who constantly spend their life on this forum.
What a sad pathetic life they must lead that AndyH poster must be 1 sad bastard.

As I said to the other lad this is not what a conflict of interest is.

This would be the likelihood to coerce the owner of another club to act in your clubs interest and not theirs test, which doesn't exist for obvious reasons.

This test you say that doesn’t exist, would it be first one by any chance:
Disqualifying Events
- They have power or influence over another League club.
- They hold a significant interest in another League club.

You seem to be of the opinion only the second test exists, however that is only one of many. The PIF involvement certainly falls foul of the first test due to the highly publicised events which you are determined to overlook.

I’m not saying the F.A. won’t turn a blind eye to this in their pursuit of more money, but surely even you with your blinkers on can now see this.

So basically Charles and Harry can't buy 2 clubs in the PL, but some dodgy royal saudis can?
