I didn't say it did. I take the lack of action as reason for them not caring.

'And constantly asking for higher and higher levels of "proof" does not actually constitute a refutation of the argument either.'

I don't know what you mean by 'higher and higher levels of' proof... I'm asking for basic evidence to support their claims, if they can't provide it, I can't accept their claims, it's as simple as that, that's how arguments work.

The rest of your comment is irrelevant to my discussion.

It'll end up like Chelsea and Man City, the barbs and criticism will dwindle. The daft lads wearing headscarves will pack it in. The media will turn it's attention away from the murderous owners and towards the new signings.

It shouldn't be like that, but it will be.

I'm not 100% sure tbh. This lot are a step change worse than Abu Dhabi or an exiled oligarch. If they get their bonesaws out again or drop a load of cluster munitions on a Yemeni school it'll kick it up into the stratosphere again.

Not really. Through willful ignorance and where the focus is. There'd have been celebration on the streets if we'd been taken over by the Reuben Brothers alone. All the people I saw interviewed and all the lads I've spoken to said they were delighted Ashley was gone. Then it moved onto the kind of managers or players we could now get. Then it was the awkward conversation about the Saudis.

Money up front vs staggered payments.

How many of them do you reckon there are? :lol:

It speaks volumes that the awkward conversation about the Saudis came third on your list, and worrying that the managers and players you could buy came before it!

Dismissing cast iron facts because you don't want to engage with the truth is as pathetic as an argument can get.

And your silence on those facts speak volumes about your beliefs.

You're just posting for the dopamine hit you get from replies, nothing more.

I don't think it will. This is a different level - it's the murder that's the problem. Don't think it's going to ever go away. It's next level.

What if Stewart Donald had bought you?
After all, the celebrating was because Ashley had gone, right?

Where did I dismiss 'cast iron facts'? If they are 'cast iron facts' what is there to discuss?

You can't interject a discussion, spew half a dozen irrelevant, highly complicated and complex issues (or 'facts') into a reply and expect someone to address and 'engage' with it because you said so... That's not how it works buddy. Straw man.

I see that YOU haven't engaged with my response to the RELEVANT points in your previous comment, I wonder why... Speaks volumes that.
