That said, didn’t most of our fans, me included, agree that our window last summer was like a 8+/10 window? 🤷🏻♂️😂 All I’m saying is it could go pear-shaped! They seem to be losing Jonny Evans, possibly to Everton. In general, they have been shit without him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 16 July, 2023 Author Share Posted 16 July, 2023 It would be more refreshing if a top player came out and said “Why the fuck would I want to go to Saudi? For money? Fuck off, that’s a pay day, not football”. Sadly, everyone it would appear is lured by money, no matter what stage of your career you’re at now. Ruben Neves is a prime example this time round.

Of course, they would also be saying they have no principles and couldn’t give 2 fucks about human rights issues. Their families could be rightly proud of them and their courageous decisions. It would be even better if said footballer, had been, for example, a great public advocate for LGBT rights and issues.

It's no different to what many owners have done, Watford etc and to some extent now our owners......own several clubs, move players around to save money, get more to spend etc. Oh is it because you have issues with the Saudis? and their "human rights"? No one says the same when we get Chinese owners, American owners (who if you are being politcal have probably contributed to the biggest issues ever in the middle east), Russians when they were allowed or any other dodgy multi millionaires who probably have shit on people to amass their fortunes... Smacks of jealousy really, im sure if we were owned by Saudis and doing the same you'd be all for it.....massive yawnfest...FOOTBALL IS ABOUT MONEY AND WON'T EVER CHANGE That's all i say on the matter. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
