Are you going to work for the religious police? Or the government? Or PiF? (which is absolutely not the government)

Or will you be a civilian contractor working for a firm where your labour is for their profit not the states? That makes a difference.

I worked in Abu Dhabi years ago. It was a hell of an experience and I made friends for life. The money, experiences and contacts I made were life changing. It nearly cost me a relationship mind, but we survived it and are still married.

If you work for them it puts you in the same class as Howe and all NUFC staff. Not saying you should or you shouldn’t, but you have to decide how to justify it to yourself.
If you go, then you can’t really criticise anyone else for working for them, but you can criticise the regime.
(probably best not to do it while you are there though).

Things not to say on day one, “So, come on then, what did you do with Kashoggi?”

I am not sure about this.

Howe on the other hand is spending millions and millions of Government money. He is the figurehead whether he likes it or not.

It's down to the individual wether he can justify it to himself to go and do it, and I wouldn't criticise him if he goes.

However. If he doesn't go. Someone else will. It won't impact Bin Salman or Saudi in any way. All he will do is miss an opportunity for him an his family.

It's nowhere near as hypocritical as celebrating the regime, wearing faux saudi dress and celebrating the regime as elements of the media and NUFC have.

I don't criticise any fan who continues to go under the new regime. I'm a fan of "support the team, not the regime".

I'm not a fan of fans defending said regime and deflecting at every opportunity... or even actively celebrating their ownership

(Edited - I misread JLaws post badly initially!)
