Howay 12447 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 He’s pathetic. It would be fantastic to see all this go through, Bein to end up bankrupt as the Saudis beat them out on the next TV rights deal, and the Saudis turn around and sue Keys for his throwing around of accusations as fact. The part that makes me laugh the most about all these journalists suddenly on their high horse, is that if they were successful and the bid was blocked they’d all pat themselves on the back, then immediately start writing articles about how shit we are, and questioning why we sat back and got mullered the next time we played Man City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d agree with most of this, except the bit about them sueing the Velcro Beast. It’d be far funnier if they offered him a job, just to watch the twat back pedalling like Eddie Merckx as he smelt the money. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Nice summary of the Saudi 2030 vision, of which the NUFC deal is no doubt a part. I must have missed the outcry when WWE signed a deal with the Saudi’s. Stuff in there about increasing parity for women etc. which I’d imagine is part of their defence in discussions with the premier league https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Vision_2030 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Although I can’t see this mobile app catching on over here anytime soon 😳 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absher_(application) If the takeover goes through, NUFC fan will have a global platform to push back against shit like this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_anti_male-guardianship_campaign It might be pie in the sky, but the hypocrisy of thousands of women attending NUFC games in England when they can’t even get a job without permission in Saudi is going to be a difficult one to spin for MBS https://www.thenational.ae/world/mena/saudi-arabia-to-abolish-flogging-as-punishment-1.1010649 Edited April 25, 2020 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12447 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Agree with the above points by KD, also think it highlights in a way that if people are interested in trying to change the house of Saud then allowing them to invest and become involved in western culture is a potential avenue. Shutting them out surely severely hampers the chances of them changing at all, and if anything could make them worse. I’m not going to pretend that that’s my main motivation behind being excited about this takeover, but there’s an argument to be had there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make a lot of sense if Keith Downie is correct and it's inevitable that Staveley et al are set on hiring Rafa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4949 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 What is Wraiths deal? I have this vague notion of him in the mould of some kind of "it girl" but only with respect of NUFC, and with a beard. What does he actually do? Is he a journalist?

He’s basically a chancer who’s tried various things from football agent to actor and had little or no success. He’s also got a hard-on for anything gangster related Edited April 25, 2020 by Alex 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to him as I don't think he takes himself too seriously and it beats working for a living but the conservative stuff is a bit harder, (lot) harder to excuse.
