I doubt those with a sense of intelligence and awareness of the Saudi regime will be jealous. You'll probably be the most hated team in the UK/Europe but thats ok because you'll buy loads of class players and your fans won't even think about it.
I await the next documentary programme on Saudi Arabia, I've no knowledge of one but I bet something is coming and it'll be pretty damaging.
Bitter lake is a good place to start. Whilst not entirely about the KSA it opens a window on Wahhabism and their support for terrorists.
 
Given that the Mags have always believed that players and some managers (Rafa/SirBurb) love the City, the people of the reejun and the famus clurb with aal it’s histry … will this speshul criteria still apply in the future ?
 
'The human rights activists have been posting in other sections of the forum for years'

Where? Examples? Number of replies?

'It hasn't been raised in PF before'

Really? It's almost as if that's my point...
Do you agree with CIA that your new owner ordered the mutilation of the journalist.

Do you agree 15 of the 19 hijackers involved with 9/11 were Saudi nationals.

Do you agree that Saudi harboured Bin Laden and his family still reside there.

Do you agree Salman orders the castration of gays and stones women believed to be unfaithful

Do you agree he orders the torture of those who disagree with his policies.

Do you agree he orders the relentless bombing of Yemen , including a school bus.

All things the West despised and talked about when these issues occurred. Probably even you , though you possibly laughed .
 
So what? You are now owned by a murderer. If you have no problems with that, that is up to you. People all round the country have a major problem with. Again you may not care but I believe that many, many Mags will be uncomfortable with it and hope the controversy will go away. I think many are in denial. On this occasion I don't think I'm exaggerating. I can't believe that on some level you don't have a problem with it
I think you are exaggerating. I don't believe that you have a problem with it.
 
Just one account buddy, you guys have been irrelevant for 4+ years hence the absence, I was just shocked at the number of the human rights activists on this board.
Simple question. Do you believe that women should be treated equal to men? Do you believe homosexuality should be legal? Are you against capital punishment? Do you believe in freedom of speech?

If you do then you are a human rights activists. Those are some basic rights. Rights that people in Saudi Arabia don't have.
 
That’s a very obtuse way of saying I want my club to buy success and I don’t give a fuck how they do it as long as we are No 1
Newcastle fans have always been a joke to most supporters now they can be even bigger whoppers
I'd prefer Newcastle to achieve success from legitimate in house means.
However, so corrupt is the game of football today and has been for a fair time, I'm now at the stage where, what will be will be. If we are in a position to buy and get among the elite clubs then fine.

The playing field is not level and we've just became another pat of the lopsidedness of that playing field, potentially. Assuming we will be bankrolled.
I know that most of the fans of any club would be more than happy to be in the position we are in.
You'll get your small bunch of fans that'll resist, just like you do with anything controversial.

The main issue here is massive jealousy, in my honest opinion.
