Well at least he's being honest I suppose......


I wanted to check to make sure he actually said it and he's words were not being manipulated. He actually said it. “If sport washing is going to increase my GDP by way of 1%, then I will continue doing sport washing,” Bin Salman told Fox News in the first interview he has given fully in English.

He makes it sound so reasonable. And it would be if he weren’t a murderous dictator. There’s nothing wrong, on the face of it, with trying to improve your country and make it more prosperous.

What most people are opposed to though is chopping people up, or having them stoned to death.

I thought Saudi had nothing to do with Newcastle?

that was BEFORE the ratification of the Newcastle buy out. Don’t think there’s any rules restricting an owner being a human rights abuser once in place. Do keep up.

I'm not sure that's true, well as far as football fans as a whole are concerned it isn't.

So, in about a year something might be done? Or is this further ahead than the Toney stuff was when it came out?

Nobody knows yet. So far this is an unproven allegation
Was Toney a criminal investigation? Or purely a league thing?
This could be a much more serious issue if the old bill are involved.
