CBRammette Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 At the moment it would be good to think we are not about to go bust as I have been starting to get very concerned just lately with all the loans flying around. Anything else would be a bonus. And people saying about death penalty would presumably not accept a free holiday to New York, California or Florida?

[25] Categories of Offenders Excluded From the Death Penalty: Individuals Below Age 18 At Time of Crime. We did not find a translation of Article 10(1) of the Juvenile Delinquents and Displaced Persons Act No. 9 of 1976, but it reportedly excludes those under the age of 18 from the death penalty. [67] Additionally, the UAE is party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, [68] which prohibits such executions, and of the Arab Charter on Human Rights, which prohibits such executions unless they are enabled by law. [69] There may be some ambiguity as to this legal exclusion in cases involving religiously stipulated or retributive penalties. [70] Although Shari’a law clearly excludes youthful offenders from execution, there might not be a modern bright line standard under Shari’a law [71] (except that set by the Arab Charter). As of 2010 three individuals were reportedly held under sentence of death for offenses committed while under the age of 18. [72] Not very prolific are they ? Barely averaging 1 execution per season.

I'm saying I can't get past their record on LGBT, though I haven't perhaps phrased it as well as I could. That's what I meant when I said I couldn't reconcile with it. I think I was kidding myself that I'd be ok with it. I absolutely understand it from a commercial perspective and it would very likely propel into the Premiership were it to happen, but I'm left asking does the end justify the means. It's almost impossible to argue that it does, in my mind at least. I've come full circle in the space of an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Very conflicted. I ducking love this club and I want us to be successful, but it would leave a sour taste in my mouth if we did a Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 He may not be in the Sheikh Mansour circle and may not have the same level of wealth but perspective, how much is he buying Derby for? £150m? This bloke tried to buy Liverpool for £2bn!!!!!!! It’s another level to where we’ve been. You don’t need your owner to have £200bn+ to be successful and with FFP unfortunately there will be an order to things that will never be broken and therefore the limit of what we can achieve would probably be a Leicester or Wolves. We can’t call on a global fan base. The key is will he invest in the club, Mike Ashley is a billionaire but doesn’t put his money in. Either way, can’t see promotion this season and unless this takeover gives us some wriggle room in FFP (which a few people who probably know more than me are questioning) then short term nothing has changed and it could be a few years before we do anything. He may take the Maranakis approach and we’ll still be years away. Because of FFP our problems haven’t gone away sadly. This is a tough gig. But I will pour another glass of red and continue to dream of away days in Barca Milan and Munich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
