    I am just giving my opinion on whether my personal enjoyment of the game would reduce to such a level that I would give up on watching it. Nothing more.
    It’s entirely out of your control and you don’t need to be educated on the matter YET you will give up football if a Saudi Billionaire/consortium buys the BS instead of yet another US/billionaire/consortium.

    Ok mate - well I guess it makes sense to you.

    I really don’t think that what he was saying.

    I took it that it was another club operating with a bottomless pit of wealth that was the issue, rather than where the money was coming from.

    I may be wrong but that’s how I read it

    Do you hate Rory McElroy for his stance on the livgolf ?
    &
    Do you hate people who slated Hendo for joining the Saudi Pro-league ?

    Don’t have a clue who Rory McElroy is or what his position is.

    And I don’t nor could I ever hate Hendo. An il judged move to a nation I personally would avoid at all cost - but up to him. Each to their own.

    Oh I took it as that too… As that IS what he is alluding to. And imo that is absolutely crazy - not only is it jingoistic - at best - but it is totally wrong and ignores the reality.

    Wouldn’t bat an eyelid were a far richer US Billionaire be in the running. Take a look at the world’s richest list. See who is really benefitting from US hegemony, And BTW which club and owner is far and away spending more than anyone since Roman was removed?

    Ah yes.

    Sheffield United have a Saudi owner - a member of the house of Saud - do they have a bottomless pit? Do people on this forum actually believe that it is EXCLUSIVELY members of the Gulf states who have the means to spend without it affecting their pocket?

    This is the point I am making - most of this forum is just like the wider British public - totally conditioned and deluded.

    Simply reacting to the planted fears projected by a media entirely owned by the very people who benefit the most from the current status quo. That status quo DEPENDS on the petrodollar.

    This is the real reason WHY gulf states are able to act with impunity inside the theatre of western sport.

    All we want is owners who back their manager or head coach ( whatever the title)
    I think if Jurgen had been fully backed since the title winning season he'd still be manager next season.
    But we are were we are.

    Fixtures for next season are out next week.

    Oh yes they are so devout. known for it. Decadence divorced from their daily lives. Outside of the fast cars, private jets and football club toys,

    A career in standup awaits. 😜

    Glossing over that…. I guess you think the tail is wagging the dog then.

    yeah they are devout.. this is what causes their egotism. narcissistic traits. we see that in most religions, the more devout the person is more trouble they cause.
