The first part I said was I object to their sportswashing. I'm sorry if you could not infer I ment directly in this case.

I'd rather my club was taken over by basically anyone else but it isn't.

So protest it as vociferously as you did the previous! That didn’t make a difference for a decade or more but it didn’t stop you.

Just say fuck off you Mackem bastards and that you’re excited by it and save yourself the stick man :lol:

I have never posted in support of the Saudi regime - you make it seem like I'm condoning beheadings and that's utter tosh.

I will always support my club, whether owned by Ashley or aliens. It's bred into me. I can (and have shown for a long time now) do that whilst not condoning the ownership or liking the way in which they conduct themselves.

I really don't know what more I can say?

I’m not asking you to say anything. I’m not saying your condoning beheadings. Although by supporting their club how are you not?

We are from the same area, I know the reason we support who we support . Difficult choice I agree, but easily made if you’re as righteous as you make out. Same goes for that Sabre bloke.

interesting seeing how you try and juggle this one :lol:

How the fuck you gonna argue with them on the politics forum now :lol:
 
I'm off to bed, as it's late. I will try and respond to the torrent of abuse I undoubtedly receive tomorrow when possible.

I feel like I've not made myself come across very clearly and it's hard to do so when responding to so many people at once.

I don't care what anyone says, at least 90% of Sunderland fans would welcome a takeover involving PIF. To deny that is insane.

To be honest I’m quite happy with the status quo at SAFC currently, the new owner seems to be doing it the right way. Seeing Dan Neil progress this season is far more satisfying than signing somebody for
£100million that doesn’t give two shits about the club and is only here to milk the over inflated wages!
 
Mike Ashley in charge, running a sustainable business (albeit an arsehole of a bloke):

Fat cockney bastard, cockney mafia, shout at shops, abuse at games, Rafa goes we go, protests, boycotts, local and National media coverage of protests, MPs raising in parliament

Potential Saudi Ownership (human rights abuses, murder, general horrendous state):

‘we don’t really like Saudi Arabia but not a lot we can do. Oh well… #cans’

Happy to be in the 10 me then.

Have you read in depth about the 9/11 bombings.

Do you think khashoggi was chopped up by a team rogue agents .

Do you think the middle east like the west.

Insane. Yeah.

If you read my last post you'll see I'm less than happy with the Saudi state owning my club mate.

Do I believe the ME likes the West? Actually I do considering I live there most of the year & see the way they're embracing western culture.

Trump and Boris are small time compared to these. Should be a fun read :lol:

Do you think people will not be supportive?

To be fair, there were people being abusive to Khashoggi's wife when she suggested the takeover wasn't a good thing. Pretty sure there was some comment from amnesty uk and there were loads sniping at it (aye, here

Social media is full of knobs mind, but that certainly suggests a lot won't give them any support if they criticise the saudis

See this is a good response.

From the outside it looks like SAFC is finally being run like a good club should be, not just the results but everything associated with the club itself.

It's mad that one of the reasons they protested against Mike Ashley was his human rights record against his employees but nothing said about the Saudi's.

Ah, but he was abusing solid British citizens (well, mostly from the EU, but they'll ignore that). The Saudis are only abusing the rights of Johnny Foreigner, so that doesn't count.

Why the hell isn't there a cynical emoji?
