If you don’t clap for kneeling at a football match that does not make you an alt right scumbag racist unless you have the brain of a 12 year old

Mansoor met Sadat? Where, in his grave? As for googling, not everything is true. I have lots of friends in UAE, yes on European standards there is human right issues, but you shouldn't always compare. I'll give you an example, in Dubai, you can work and live in the country for your whole adulthood, but you never get citizenship, you have to leave the country a few months after the termination of your contract of employment, I think you would love that.

Amromovich (who was poisoned at peace talks) is an angel compared to Newcastle and city owners


As I told you, it's not the EPL which kicked Abramovich out of Chelsea but your government freezing his assets which included Chelsea by coincidence, that has nothing to do with football, it's only a collateral damage. I don't know what you mean by taking a knee for a criminal, the knee taking started after that an innocent was murdered by a policeman

I meant Assad rather than Sadat which you well know

There is talk of a fit and proper owner test which is gaining traction with the war in Ukraine and the realisation of despots running premiership clubs to cover up their regimes

UAE and saudi have very poor human rights records and the UAE has geopolitical links to Russia and Syria and refused to condemn Russia for its invasion of Ukraine at the UN.

But it funds good footballers so that’s fine

The fit and proper owner test will be run by the FA although it’s possible the government will force them to do it. I believe that has public support

42 countries refused to condemn Russia and among the biggest democracy on earth, ie, India, mainly for economic/geopolitical reasons, are you saying their assets like Jaguar Land Rover should be frozen? I agree regarding Saudia but not sure about UAE, which poor human rights are you talking about, you may be right?

Would be interesting to see what fit and proper test the FA will put. This is not the work of the FA, I don't think they are equipped for that, it is the government to decide who can and cannot invest in a country based on set criterion

10%? Doesn't look like it matters to the big majority. Everton are going to be impacted because Usmanov has been hit as well
