To be fair to Robbie, he clearly wants to be a manager but hasn’t exactly been inundated with offers to manage at home…

I've been quite surprised at how desperate he has been to get going in management, and wish him loads of luck.

I think he'll need it. Doesn't strike me as the type,but I'd be happy to be proved wrong.

How the fuck does he qualify to be a Dragon, apart from being a cunt of course.

He shouldnt be anywhere near this, but he has a raft of business interests going on in investments, property and hospitality.

Newcastle fans are even worse than city fans. No embarrassment "what can they do" they actively act as the Saudi Regimes personal defendants. Murder and dismember a journalist is fine because *random whataboutery* they are the absolute perfect shills for a sportwashing regime, the Saudis couldn't not of picked a better fanbase to represent them. Nothing they win will ever mean shit to anybody else the same as city, zero respect from any quarter other than by those being paid to push the illusion its still a sport.

These same fans would have been taking the moral high ground had it been Liverpool who were acquired by Saudi. Hypocrites the lot of them.

That is a massive generalisation.Many of us are disgusted at the thought of these types of owners and may even turn our back on the game should this happen. I dont think you know our fanbase well enough.

I was referring to the Newcastle fans there.

 

I have been reading this forum for 20 years because it serves as my gateway to understanding the Liverpool fan culture. I haven’t been here all these years for the transfer gossip.

Gerrard can properly go fuck himself now. Amazing player obviously but what a moral vacuum fucking nobhead. I think he proved at Villa he'll never be good enough for us but this move stinks. Twat.

And you believe we want a murderous regime as our owners? Your understanding is way off.

[Anubis]

Sorry but Gerrard, Fowler and Bobby just went to zero in my eyes. You go there, you know what you’re lending legitimacy to.

He hadn’t said that. All he’s said that had Liverpool been bought by similar owners a few years ago, Newcastle fans would be going on about human rights abuses, but now they’ve been taken over they’re first in line to defend Saudi behaviour.

Gerrard:’How am I doing, boss?’

Why should behavior need to be defended?

Speaking of “understanding”, can you please show me where I said that?

No worries Vlad.

 

I believe most Liverpool fans don’t want the club to be owned by Saudi Arabia. 
 

I also believe most Newcastle fans didn’t want their club to be owned by Saudi Arabia before it happened. The fact that they somehow managed to reconcile their value system with the reality on the ground leads me to believe that their value system was built on hypocrisy and lies rather than solid foundations.

I'm with these guys to be honest.

Selective outrage in action. A few footballers and coaches leave the UK for Saudi Arabia to go get that "filthy oil money". Loads here and many more all over social media react strongly against it.

 

Meanwhile, the UK govt has been taking billions of pounds of that "filthy oil money", selling weapons to Saudi Arabia which is then used to bomb tiny Yemen. Barely a squeak about that on here or on social media. I guess Yemen isn't fashionable enough for many to get outraged about.
