    Like it or not, the further away from affecting your own life something is, the easier it is to turn a blind eye or look the other way.

    I'm sorry, but I'd have them over Ashley in a heartbeat.
    Fair enough.

    It was just so barbaric and all because he wrote a few unfavourable articles. It really sticks in my mind.

    No, I don't disagree at all.

    But, when you look at the wider picture-all of our governments cosy up to regimes who are involved in heinous crimes because it suits their wider agenda (or even a specific one). The point being, there are so many aspects of our lives where you could take issue (and for perfectly valid reasons) with the people making decisions on your behalf that you've got to ask 'where do you start' or 'where do you end'. i.e. where do you draw the line?

    Imagine if it was true.I know but just for a minute.Only reason I can come up with is he might be suffering health wise after giving those 10000 tickets away.
    On the other hand,if it's true,I bet he doesnt take the pěss out of this lot.

    The optimist in me thinks it may have some legs with the Saudi Royal Family failing to get their number one target and obviously Amanda Stavely's links to the club and the middle east. Fat man also out of the country in the USA.

    The synical side of me thinks, whats his angle, he isnt blocking transfers, he has stayed away, he's up to something
    He's in the USA and the story came out in Wall Street Journal. Enough said.

    Same, although it won't happen so really a moot point.
