So basically it's ok for individual to benefit.

Add them to the UK government, BAE, the Royal Family, any other business the PIF have invested in, the PL for selling them games etc etc.

A long list of organisations and individuals who have conveniently looked the other way as it benefitted them directly.

If you believe that an individual being employed by a Saudi company is worthy of criticism because they're putting money before morals?

You must think that a football club owned by the PIF which is ran by a head of state that's overseen over 100,000 deaths in another country - and used planes purchased by the PIF to ferry assassins to murder American journalists is beyond the pale in comparison?

I admire you ethical and moral stance on this.

I’ve worked in oil & gas for the past 15 years, several job offers from Saudi Aramco, each one put in the deleted items. Contrary to your waffling that this despot regime is only an issue since they purchased NUFC Saudi has for years been the axis of all evil in the world, you lot are just to stupid to see it!

On the contrary I personally have been aware of some of the shit they get up to. But I can only speak for myself so whatever others know/think is down to them and how much attention they've paid over the years. Does anyone remember the film, Death of a princess? The Saudis got very upset about that. Panorama has rustled their feathers on a few occasions as did This Week.

Nee whatabootery mate.

If you're judging an individual who works for a Saudi company for money?

What's your judgement of the head of state? the PIF? Its head?, 100,000 dead?, extra judicial killings?

Angel of the North is Gatehead, not Newcastle. They've appropriated enough symbols of the NE without any shame for long enough without the general N.E. population buying into it. And remember, only 50% of the Tyne bridge is "theirs".

And if British royal family bought Cork City there would be protests. Cork fans wouldn't be going around with homemade tinfoil crowns on their heads waving Union Jacks. They wouldn't be on Twitter throwing abuse at widows of the victims of Bloody Sunday.

It's a terrible comparison tbh. A better one would be Saddam Hussein or Colonel Gaddafi buying a club. Mohammed bin Salman is every bit as bad as them.
