Exactly. They're literally surrounded by countries plagued with poverty and starvation and have the wealth to help end it at any moment, but instead decide to buy a football team. If you support this football team your actively saying your OK with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMontfortRam Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I appreciate people are sticking to their principles when they say I'd rather watch another club than support an oil rich Derby County... But personally I just don't get that! surely as Derby County fans all we want to see is success, and to go and watch our club week in week out and be happy when they win? I'm sure if you offered any Manchester City fans the opportunity to go back to their old selves they'd run away from you as fast as possible. I want my future children grow up wanting a Derby County kit wanting to watch their local side play big clubs in the big leagues, as opposed to them wanting to support Liverpool or Chelsea cause they don't want to watch their side lose to Luton on a dismal Tuesday night. We all know the future of football is deeply rooted in money and foreign ownership, so personally I'd rather be one of them with big money enjoying it at the top.

Orphanram Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I’m keeping my powder dry on this one and we’ll see what happens. I do love reading the extreme range of opinions from being world beaters in 5 minutes to the moral superiority of never watching the club again if this happens. If you looked at this thread as a temperature gauge of feelings about the geopolitical tensions of human rights issues, I’m surprised there aren’t weekly protests outside Ilkeston Co-Op travel as people book there mid winter breaks in the UAE. Also how many people are going to keep referring to them as Saudis on this thread only to be corrected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could point to the 'fact' in the last few days we voted not to give our own starving children a free lunch and allowed a desperate family escaping persecution to drown off our shores. But that would be a suspect interpretation of facts.. And tbh pure grandstanding because I'm very selfish and want success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 A new rich owner? As this is us it can only go one way. I am thinking Venkys at Blackburn so no need to worry about losing our identity, this will probably end up cementing it knowing our luck. Fall in a barrel of tits and we would end up sucking our thumb and playing the barrel’s contents at centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that tbh. What doesnt add up for me is if the sheik is so filthy rich why would he buy a championship club ? it is a well known fact that there are at least hlaf s dozen club in the PL with a for sale sign. They may not be the most attractive ones , Palace, Burnley, Southampton, Newcastle for instance but they are in the PL. ah well wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
