(Poch or bruce..ok Poch) It's Rafa for me and only Rafa, he understands the fans, loves the fans and knows how to win. Give that Spanish fella a few quid to build his team and we will have a chance of actually winning something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I think Rafa would be the wisest choice in terms of rebuilding a club. Poch in fairness did it at Southampton and Spurs, but I think Rafa edges it because of his familiarity and connection with the area as people have said. He could jump right in and likely already has plans to implement. To be clear though I would not be disappointed if Poch got it. No point acting spoiled before we're even sold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Joe public asking the government to intervene... never gonna happen Quote Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom are strategic allies.[4] There are more than 200 joint ventures between British and Saudi Companies, worth $17.5 billion, and some 30,000 British nationals are living and working in Saudi Arabia as well as nearly 100,000 Saudi nationals living in the UK. Saudi Arabia is the United Kingdom's primary trading partner in the Middle East and the United Kingdom is Saudi Arabia's closest European ally.

The BeIN letter is essentially unfounded allegations (regardless of how likely people think it to be the case) which the PL won’t consider. It’s happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. To me its just fairly pointless gesturing, so the bloke can go on twitter and say he’s done something. Maybe he should grow some balls instead. I’m going to make a proper protest and stay away from the ground completely. That’ll show them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19779 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) America is fucked like. I just re-read the discussion from last night and I don’t see anyone disputing that. I had the chance to work there a couple of years back but it fell through. And I’m glad it did in hindsight. Mrs G talks about it all the time - she’s well relieved now, not to be living in Trumpland, particularly during this crisis.

There is no need to broaden the debate - I agree about a lot of the other stuff that has been said more broadly about America and its foreign policy. But the legal system comparison was plainly nonsense. Edited April 23, 2020 by Dr Gloom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the legal system comparison was plainly nonsense. But people say country x is worse than country y because of z. As though you don’t need to look at the bigger picture. That said, the US legal system seems to be utterly fucked at almost every level. Putting that aside though, one of the reasons (the main reason) the Saudi state is able to act almost with impunity within its own borders and within the region etc is because of its close and long standing historical alliance with the most powerful nation on Earth. So US foreign policy is relevant to the discussion Edited April 23, 2020 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3973 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 As well as the fact the country was created and the ruling family were put in power by Western interests very much including the UK. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19779 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Our alliance with these fuckers does rather undermine our criticism. You can be critical of the Saudi regime, which by modern Muslim standards is barbaric, and the west for facilitating the regime as long as we keep buying their oil and selling them our arms.
