Look that part of the world is stuck in it's ways and we're unlikely to change them whilst they have oil as leverage. Letting geopolitics weigh you down would cut you an unhappy figure and it's fine to highlight the atrocities that occur everywhere. But expecting your average football fan to take a stand that their country is allied with is ridiculous.

What about Liverpool? They willingly opened an academy in China. What about the atrocities over there?

The only person that sold NUFC was Mike Ashley.

Where was your outrage at the City takeover?

On record at PL hq. And on file with amnesty and HRW. Where’s yours? And even if it wasn’t, does that make your owners any more acceptable? Just put your hands up man. You are owned by a murderous regime currently engaged in the same thing as Putin but for longer. You don’t have a problem with it. Why do you give a shite about what anyone else thinks?

Ashley isn't the only one that sold NUFC. You had an MP cry in parliament, you protested and for some mental reason thought it was a good idea to throw planes on a pitch in support of a Saudi buy out, less than a week after the world remembered the tragedy that was caused by Saudi born people involving planes. That's the bar for stupidity set really high.

As for Liverpool and their academy. Are you saying they shouldn't set up a sporting arena or sporting opportunities for the deprived people of the world, because if so how deep does your evil go

Aye. Like a manager working his bollocks off vs one that had the squad unfit for Sunday league. I'd happily go into next season with the same team. Signing superstars isn't important to me. Having players fit and committed to the cause is refreshing as fuck. Trippier traveling to London with a pot on. Great to see. You're at a low ebb and it was funny for a while but I genuinely sympathise with your clubs position. Being shit and without hope weighs you down and carries into everyday life.

:D and the truth of the matter is that not one of us would swap positions and be owned by a murdering dictator who makes putin look like mother Theresa.
That must really rankle.
I'd rather be in league 1 with no hope than wear a tea towel on my head and in anyway be associated with the people that own your once proud Club.
Sold your soul and you're disgusting

If money’s nee object like with yer Sauds I can’t see why they’d bother solely buying in this country? Valencia, Roma, Lazio, Marseilles, Napoli, Lyon, Inter, Seville, Milan etc are all closer to being PL regulars than the mags. It’s a weird one.

It might say a lot about the state of our country. Are we really that slack and allow money to be filtered through us so easily

We're just the same pal. We have our interests and don't consider the ethics of everything we do or like. I don't like kids being paid to pick coffee but I drink it. I don't like someone in the 3rd world sewing my t-shirts for peanuts. But I don't think about it. The UK is in bed with Saudi and NUFC will benefit. The UK should consider it's position, not NUFC fans.

:D wtaf?
I dont think anyone in the uk likes buying gas and oil from Russia and Saudi Arabia.
I don't think people in Germany do to. No one does. We dont wear tea towels on our heads and cheer that we give money to a horrific regime.
Unfortunately it's a necessity atm but will be stopped ASAP, that's why they are sportswashing the gullible.
Fortunately the average person is in no way associated with this evil regime. Its quite telling that bayern munich fans put pressure on their board that they didn't want sponsorship from Qatar. Nufc fans put pressure on the government to allow their club to be owned by Saudi Arabia. How f***ing desperate and disgusting is that. I honestly don't think any other clubs fans would go so low.
it is the total opposite of what you wrote in your post - Nufc fans have been a total embarrassment on all of this and they certainly should consider their position in life and their morals. You're a disgusting human being for even writing what you write.

In his own mind he'll have Saudi ownership as a necessity as they've suffered more than any set of fans in the country and they deserve success😄
 
For me..Its not just the "Saudi Arabia" thing, its not just a bloody russian Billionaire, nor a wealthy yank
Its a level playing, its a bloody sport, not a sodding market
Wheres the sport?, wheres the contest, all over Europe, its the SAME bloody teams, winning the SAME bloody stuff, year in , year out
Idiots gagging for a European super league?

I'll have a problem with pif if they stop the club participating in rainbow laces campaigns and such. As long as they're buying into the club's values then it's fine with me.

Having a world cup where it's illegal to be gay is abhorrent. We're still waiting for a Premier league player to come out, what chance do we have with Fifa making decisions like that?


Legal separation exists.
