Inconsistent, unprincipled, cowardly. It deserves any criticism it gets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead it's suddenly the fans who are responsible for something they had no control over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4963 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Yes you'd expect an influx of commercial sponsorship even if it's not fake Saudi cash injection stuff. Given that Ashley had almost fucking nothing in place on that front, we should have a few tens of millions to run at just from making the smallest effort. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not really a problem anymore though is it? Plus if you actually go after players based on who you really want as opposed to who's available at your price point you have always paid a premium. That said it will be nice if/when we reach the tipping point where our profile and standing makes us more appealing to the best players without it having to be entirely about money.

I’ve yet to hear anyone convincingly explain that the PIF can be separated from the Saudi state. The PL says they received binding assurance, whatever that means. Mandy wasn’t able to clarify what the meant either. It was never about human rights. But that’s not the supporters’ fault. Take the hand-wringing to the PL’s door.

OTF 6134 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 The next person that suggests that you should stop supporting the club because of who our owners are suggest that they should also stop supporting their premier league team because unlike us supporters the premier league approved and facilitated the sale and being in the premier league is now tarnished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
