If only there was some news I’ve mentioned that shows that maybe …. Just maybe…. Saudi Arabia is still not advancing in human rights. Just anything that had come out?
You give him too much credit in assuming he is actually trying to wum.You are the best in the game @Wumminator
Over what time period?
The last two days.
Whatever man, I'm not going to talk to you if you are going to be childish.
They are advancing in human rights, I've told you the rights they've given to women over the last 5 years, your opinion seems to be that progress isn't enough, it needs to be perfect right now. I'll remind you that America still has the death penalty. Saudi Arabia still has a lot of work to do with human rights, but they are moving in the right direction, maybe it'll be 20 years til they get rid of the death penalty, but that's better than 50 years if we tell them to feck off and be a more insular culture
How do you know that? It's way too complicated for anyone to say definitively which approach would have been better.
A billionaire with enough money to throw out on our football club will most likely be a cnut anyway. They can all get fecked. All I'm looking at is who will provide the most for the club. I don't expect anyone in the race to buy United to share any of my views. But if they also start to feck the club over like the Glazers do they can do one.
Yeah wouldn’t surprise me if Brexit Jim turned out to be a homophobe as well. At the end of the day we don’t really have much choice who takes over the club. All we can do is hope they take care of it well
Being like this is your way of self-flagellating for being pumped full of that sweet oil money isn't it?
I’ve heard he also bites into KitKats whole instead of separating them into fingers.
Proper cnut
There's no news since the momentary hope Qatar had gained the edge two days ago.
They have gained the edge.
Dunno bout that but he's a tax avoiding, Tory cnut of a billionaire that advertised Brexit. So yeah feck him too. I'm not going to be a fan of anyone buying us. From wherever that guy might be. But at least treat this club like it deserves to.
Well I suppose because in the years before they started closer cultural ties with the west women were segregated, couldn't go out without a man and couldn't drive. The whole point of these regimes investing is that they know the oil and gas won't last forever, they want to be closer to the west, for investment, for tourism and this means a cultural alignment with the west. It might mean young Saudi fans watching Newcastle and seeing pride flags at times, seeing a more culturally tolerant country. You're probably not going to change the minds of older people in these countries, the same way older people in the UK are more likely to be racist and homophobic (not all but its more common than in younger people)
You asked, and Saudi Arabia is the topic becuase they're just now murdering kids. According to Amnesty, the use of death penalty as punishment has increased sevenfold in the last three years.
Wumminator woke up and chose violence
A quiet, calm nutmeg by Lyng… takes WUM out of the game and no one even realises it.
Wumminator: bad things still happen in these countries so no progress whatsoever has been made
Man's a psycho!
He is being deliberately disingenuous because he's a WUM, clue is in the name...
No tweets , leave it off until Monday or Tuesday it’s getting messy in here again
"This incident in isolation" is hundreds of dead people every year, and it's increasing dramatically. Out of the 7 people just recently profiled, one of them is 12 years old. What makes you so positive?
No offense but this is the football forum.
Agree with @Berbaclass I think they do have the edge now. The likelihood is that the Reuters source was someone from the Raine group using the media to send the message that Ratcliffe is no longer the leading bid and leveraging him to make another offer.
It’s disgusting and I’m glad it’s being talked about - but was it Qatar? Or Saudi? Why’s it being used in the Utd forum as leverage against 92 Foundation?
Aye, thanks!
Doesn't America still have the death penalty? I don't see people suggesting we totally cut ties with them. And before you say it's warranted
Obviously they're just very keen to share their western ideals. Quite the humanitarians.
A report from 4 years ago - surely you can do better than that
Imagine wanting to be owned by a company that cant even make a legible website. in dark mode
I found it interesting that this line in particular is being sort of overlooked:
Seems to have gotten lost amongst all the 'negotiating exclusivity' talk.
Wumminator: Things are not getting better in Saudi Arabia.
