Saudi Arabia wants its investors to own Manchester United and Liverpool

[FootballFan]

I would laugh my tits off if they somehow sold the mags for pennies than bought United or Liverpool.

Possible, but Apple will be in first IMO

 

[lichtiemike]

Hope the mags get sold back to Ashley for fuck all and they buy one of them instead.

If they palm it off as private investors then that proves the Saudi state owns the mags which proves what they did at takeover was all bollocks. Questions to be answered and basically they can’t own them.

I thought you could only own one team otherwise it is a conflict of interest!

They could sell most charges of the mags and as long as they don’t own a majority share they can have some ownership of all clubs iirc

Will be forced out like Abramovich in the end

Aye. They're probably the 2 clubs over here whose fanbases would vehemently oppose any sort of takeover from a sovereign state, unlike City and those scruffs up the road whose supporters actively celebrated it.

I would seriously disown SAFC if it was bought by the Saudis. The Mags to a man seem to have become apologists for the Saudi regime. Sickening.

Hate modern football!

What a shite state of affairs! Although funny if it does happen for the Sportswashed morons up the road.

We are now past the point of no return in state ownership and the end of football as we knew it.

I wonder if they're just going to be allowed to casually take over English football.

Saying that hopefully they'll get bored of the mags quickly.

Well they’re got round all the corruptible corners and successfully negotiated a deal with boris Johnson to buy the mags. They’ll wangle it

The mags are just a slurry pit for Arab loose change, they can be discarded easier than a lemon used as garnish

Posted before I’ve renewed and stayed loyal after years of embarrassment.

15, 19 point seasons, Short, Bain, Donald, Methven… Years in the 3rd tier.

If the Saudi’s bought SAFC I’d cancel the 4 season cards tomorrow and never set foot in the SoL again.

I can accept us being shite, but I can’t accept us selling off 143 years of history and seeing the club I love being used as a propaganda machine for the Saudi State.

what about other nations buying the club like... the people who bought manchester city ?

 

[Boot Cleaner]

Not for me, totally against state ownership. Especially one as abhorrent as Saudi Arabia.

Football in this country needs a complete overhaul, with the greed and corruption brought about by the inception of the premier league reset.

I really only bother with SAFC games now home and away. If we sold our soul, that would be me completely done and I’d find a new hobby.

Exactly why the World Cup is the tops. No matter how much money they have the Saudis can’t buy Haaland

Nee bother, no problems from the FA
