    It’s a joke really.
    You walk into any city in the country and there will be dozens of pubs showing live games...the PL need to look closer to home.

    Sometimes I get the impression some of the media and some of our fans would prefer Ashley.

    I wouldnt bother Zip. Its plainly obvious by his posts of late he would prefer the takeover to fail, regardless of what he says.
    There is no connection between Arabsat and Pif and our proposed new Chairman.

    Sometimes I get the impression some of our fans are so desperate to ease their conscience that they need to defend the indefensible with conspiracies and state sponsored propaganda to try justify what they know deep down to be wrong.

    Like yours that will go away when a few players have signed and the team starts to do well. You stated yesterday you will still support the team. Will your morals and conscience have a day off on matchdays.
    I have stated many times that Saudi Arabias human rights are shocking, but so is China's, UAE, Russia. They all own teams and nobody says a word. I dont justify anything Saudi Arabia do. Maybe they want to change, who knows. So lets stop them if they try then. Is that your answer.

    Aye Zip plenty of it going on with Satellite 📡 broadcasting Italian coverage of EPL in Pubs.

    The difference here is that this is a whole operation being run and profited off of worldwide.

    Example, you own intellectual property like say Marvel’s Avengers. You catch someone who has been selling Avengers branded merchandise and making a huge profit off of it too. You try take them to court but because they are well connected to higher powers, your legal action against them never gets off the ground. 2 years down the line they come to you saying they would like to purchase the movie rights to Marvel’s Spider-Man. Would you let them? Or would you tell them to jog on?

    About time you were thinking of changing your avatar Geordie1974. I'm sure you can come up with something better looking.

    Or are you patiently waiting for the official announcement on D Day.

    Saudi’s don’t bother these people when they are ordering an Uber , or questioning where the oil in the petrol pump has come from. It won’t enter their mind when they book a concert or many other growing list of things the Saudi’s are invested in.

    These people don’t care when buying their clothes as to what conditions the labour are subjected to when making them. They don’t care about the minerals used in their mobile phones and how many African children have died mining this stuff so they can get the net or text on a flashy looking handheld device.

    The list goes on and on. I’m sure we are all guilty of encouraging shocking human rights just so we can have some luxuries in life.
