I dont think people thought for one second the UK government was going to impose sanctions on Saudi Arabia. Certainly not a tory government.

However, the issue for the mags may come about on a couple of fronts. A independent regulator could create issues; particularly if its truly independent from the government. State owned clubs are clearly damaging the overall ecosystem of the English game and they'd probably go for city and the mags.

The other potential issue could come from the premier league having written assurances that the state is separate from PIF and that's why the takeover was allowed to go through. We all know they aren't separate and greater scrutiny on that could be interesting. If its legally challenged I'm not sure it would stand up.

This whole sports washing business is utter shite.

Saudi Arabia is less than 100 years old as a country, formed in one of the harshest environments on earth and as a result I would suggest made up of the harshest of people.

To expect a new nation, especially in that part of the world, to conform and adopt "western" standards and become a benign society like ours, that developed/matured over centuries, is preposterous.

Is what happens there awful, of course it is, by our standards, but to compare it to what we experience in the west is pure folly.

You can't just flick a switch, it took 200 years for our monarchy to finally move from absolute to constitutional, why should we expect different elsewhere. Even after our centuries of societal development we didn't outlaw the execution of minors until 1908. As Saudi was being formed 1932/33, we were administering India and at that same time, under our governance, average life expectancy in India was 28 years old, twenty fecking eight. Women couldn't vote here until 1928. In my lifetime (yeah I'm old) black people couldn't even get on a fecking bus in the USA.

We're not that great ourselves.

We have to engage and guide and mentor, not use the big stick otherwise we see what happens in that part of the world.

Saudi Arabia has been around for the blink of an eye in historical terms in its societal development.

Meanwhile in this beacon of loveliness we call the UK, we have circa 3000 foodbanks and 200-300 folks a day die of Covid due to government mishandling, at least the 81 who were executed had a fair trial according to the laws of THAT land, our covid victims not so much.

Worryingly no. They actually thought Mike Ashley as a person was worse.
It shows all along what it was all about, signings plain and simple
They are even quoting back to 1910 to justify their position, even using Boris f***ing Johnson as means I I why they are right to love their new owners
Labour MP’s like Chi who drill the socialist drum have sold their souls no doubt cheeky little backhander in the process
 
It was interesting yesterday at work..my 4 non attending mag work colleagues have what I call a ( Monday morning mag chat) were giving an in depth analysis of the Chelsea game moaning about refs and officials..one actually said..(Penshaw mag..I know!)..."fuckin premier league are corrupt"....not a hint of irony at all!!...made me chuckle a bit🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Where anywhere or anytime in history has a "new" country, become "westernised" within 100 years ????

That is so not the point.
By allowing them to buy your already dark souls your are complicit in their efforts to sportswash their actual being.
Remember they have been tied to flying planes into buildings, not throwing camels at them, so I think they have adopted some western ideas quite well.
The bombs and missiles they use to kill Yemeni school children are all modern. I also understand that the UK and US supply these weapons. Here is the difference, a country owns you lock stock and stinking barrel and all you lot do is whatabout,whatabout.
For the sake of winning a game of football you condone the stoning of women for being raped. If it wasn't so f***ing sad you just laugh at you lot, but I can't because you are beyond help.

I don't see why they feel the need to defend them.

Just say nothing I can do about it but it won't stop me supporting my club.

Rather than defending a horrible regime..

Because they are sensitive souls who cant take criticism of their club. To the mags, the only people who have any right to criticise anything they do are other mags.

Anyone outside of that bubble is personally attacking them and the hive mind of mag fans kicks in to defend the club line.

It really is quite cultish behaviour.
 
With the spotlight well and truly on them all the bots have been call out to help and all the scum have come out to try and justify why there odious owners are just misunderstood.
It leaves me feeling numb with little else to but Fuck off you scum sucking, deluded, arrogant morons.

You'd think Johnson might be more circumspect about taking cash from evil foreign regimes. He just can't get his snout from the trough.

He is a bumbling greedy bastard with no moral compass. No chance of him not bending to the Saudis.

It’s mad that it’s only now that some of these things are being questioned by press. It’s given them plenty of time to hand round scripts to the masses of sportswashing advisors around the world. Just read the script verbatim please. “But what about your I-phone?” “Not bad people, they want to change”

They even published a checklist of answers when the takeover went through. Horrible horrible sick bastards
