His net worth is $2 billion (that's more than Ellis Short), and his mother's is $9.5 billion (one of the richest women in the world).

Even before the takeover that really reflects their delusion. We have the best owner for us, and will benefit our club in the long run.
That’s before you delve into the families ties to football and other wealthy benefactors they are involved with. Like I said earlier the local press don’t help SAFC - there wasn’t much coverage of KLD when he took over.
 

If the Saudis had bought our club it wouldn't sit right with me now I'm older and wiser. I know it's a big issue but I generally couldn't give a shit about either Spurs or the Mags. FTM as in "fuck the mags we don't care"
I certainly wouldn't be getting involved in other clubs bitching about them.
 
True - but it's just been constant hand ringing. There's been England matches, Scotland matches and also build up to matches at the weekend. I've stayed quiet on this, but calling the Mags murderers and whatever else is just offensive. I've got close friends and family that are Mags and they're sound people. Most of them conflicted but generally happy to be rid of Ashley. It's moving dangerously in the direction of the way people refer to Liverpool fans around Hillsbrough in how they're referred on here. We're better than that and don't need to stoop to such rank levels of behaviour. It's like us being called racists cos of what supposedly happened with Darren Bent years ago, or paedos because of what Adam Johnson did. There's some knackers for them wearing head dresses and carrying Saudi flags - but then we had knackers who sang Johnson songs after he was convicted. We're all the same people - we live and work and socialise amongst each other. Calling them murderers etc. is just pretty vile to be honest.
I don't recall people singing Johnson songs after he was convicted...when he had been accused yes. The singing was ridiculous mind, although a small minority.
 
im not sure KLDA THINKS OF himsel f and others in he club as benefactors-they are doing it as a business
There’s no way he’s got involved to no create a legacy like his dad did at Marseille. I’m sure he’s even said that. I don’t think they’ll spend 100’s millions but we’ll see a different SAFC operating if we ever made it back to the top flight.

add those two net worth numbers together and you get a number lower than the rueben borthers have-without the saudis being involved at all..
also i think KD is more like 2 billion euros..if his trust is in switzerland for tax reasons..why would it be quoted in dollars?

Ellis Short proved that having the funds was only part of the puzzle.

His lack of knowhow and connections in football resulted him getting screwed by a procession of clowns, liars and outright conmen.

KLD has more knowledge, connections and vision than the majority of club owners. He grew up in it.

Please highlight one comment where anyone has called Mag fans murderers please. Sympathisers to a horrific regime but not them personally. It's a big issue, way beyond a footballing one, and if everyone took your attitude then the piss taking will continue. Your analogies and comparisons are absurd.
 
They literally are - there's a tonne of posts in that massive thread calling them murders or murderer synpathisers amongst other things. It just shows those people up for what they really are - envious of having a bottomless pot of cash to spend rather than being concerned about gays, women, Yemen kids etc.
Another mag outing himself. how do you know what people are concerned about? I made plenty anti-Saudi regime comments when Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered. They're all on here. So if you think sportswashing isn't a real thing and that Amnesty International are 'envious' then that says more about you than me.

But also more than Leicester and Liverpools ownership groups? If you box clever you don’t need to spend the earth.

There was that he shags who he wants song or whatever it was. Like you say, by a handful of braindead morons. Much like there'll be a small majority of eejits for them lot at the match wearing headgear or whatever.

Your choice. Older and wiser. Really? It's a big issue but you couldn't give a shit is pretty contradictory. Anyway, you're not getting involved you say, so goodbye for now.

this is of course true..i thinl people lsightly over play the extent of KLDs experience but he does have more experience than most..
the cleverest owners find good football people to run it for them..short never achieved that..
man city brought in marwood
newcastle have jamie rueben who has been on the board of other clubs..
 
Joined Twitter in April 2021. Very high likelihood that is some lad sat in a room somewhere in Saudi, with 100 other lads, being paid to Tweet that shite

Not sure. Clearly a remainer by some of his posts.
 
Their owners are murderers ffs. Nobody's calling Dwight Gayle or The Fish a murderer

And if he had, you and the rest of the Mags would have been outraged about it and pontificate on here. You know it's true :lol:
Outraged. You’re kidding me? I’d have been massively surprised given Tottenham’s Jewish connections but as shown with the Reuben connection and Newcastle, religious doctrines seem secondary to that of making money and/or sportswashing.

Get to fuck with that "he's a mag" shit. I'm not talking about Amnesty being envious - I'm talking about average Joe on here who has all of a sudden become an expert in middle eastern politics. The concerns are of course legitimate but it's when people are calling them murderers and that they supported 9/11 or whatever other crap that comes out.

Aye but not sang after he was convicted/found guilty, I think people thought there was nowt in it....although why you would sing it in the first place is beyond me. Let's see how many turn up with tea- towels on their heeds on Sunday 😂
