I accept the things which I can't change, bringing the culture of Saudi Arabia up to an acceptable western standard is way beyond me, unfortunately

It's not your ability to change Saudi attitudes that bothers people, it's the complicity and wilful ignorance of it, just so you can recruit a few decent players that disgusts folk

I don't ignore it and I'm not complicit, so there's no need for upset

Who are you to judge what upsets or disgusts people ? You don't get to make that choice

They thought they were going to change Saudi attitudes
even that hypocrite Chi said this in utter desperation for supporting the takeover. They don’t understand Saudi Arabia couldn’t give a fuck about a city in the NE of England
I'm not making a judgement about you, you're making a judgement about me by saying I'm complicit and ignoring the issues, which is why you're upset.
But I'm not ignoring issues or complicit in them, so it follows that if the source of your upset isn't actually true, you have no reason to be upset

While failing to realise they are being exploited to try and normalise their cultures and behaviours amongst the Western world.They thought they were going to change Saudi attitudes
Not so much about you, but your active fanbase. You do go regular do you ? If so, you are complicit with sportswashing. And if as you say you are aware and appauled by Saudi behaviours, then that makes it worse in my opinion. You could maybe forgive someone not educated or aware, but to be fully aware and still support is shameful.

It’s worked to an extent as mags are justifying punishment of Saudi residents on the basis that ‘they know the rules over there so shouldn’t be surprised’
They have become even more vacuous individuals because of the lure of money !!
A mother’s jail sentence is a fair price to pay if said jailers promise to spend some money

**Breaking news** an attacker falls back and covers for a defender when they are injured. Trying to justify paying £25million for a striker by saying he has a good football brain

‘That’s what Howe has brought to club’
Desperate to polish a turd these days whereas in the past under Bruce everyone was just shit.

Wonder how many have turned them down due to the owners. Bet they are racking up now. We'll never hear that that is the reason of course.

It boils down to how desperate they are. The likes of Howe and the also rans from relegated clubs weren’t going to get better offers.
