If you have strong reservations about the Abu Dhabi takeover on issues of human rights but if it goes ahead and Derby end up in the top half of the Premiership would you then celebrate the success? And now the interesting part of the question would this then make you( choose which apply loyal, fickle, flexible, hypocritical, strong minded, weak minded or something else.

If the word fickle applies to anything it’s a football fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Is it just me? Or was there the original tweet from John Percy (who is clearly getting his information from someone very close to the club) and since then nothing else? Lots of regurgitated stories and reheating of the same facts ...but actually no new information? Don't think it's even made Sky Sports News? The only thing giving it any credence is that Rams fans know JP is normally right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramslaar Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 23 minutes ago, Turk Thrust said: Quite. I posted earlier about some posters who oppose such a takeover but who happily buy their petrol. The United Arab Emirates is one of the UK's most important trading partners and one of the fastest growing markets for UK exports. Last year exports to the UAE from the UK totalled more than £10.5 billion and we had a trade surplus of more than £4 billion . So what do you do if you are uncomfortable trading with a country whose culture and beliefs you don’t agree with. Have no further dealings with them and face a huge financial hit and put thousands of people out of work here. (and for those pedantic posters who might come back and say that I posed questions with no question marks, question marks aren’t required for rhetorical questions) It's all madness mate the worlds going nuts.one of these days honesty will be illegal.

Obviously an investment ruled by heart rather than head, but I’d have done the same with his resources. In his “ normal “ business life the boy is gifted.

BramcoteRam84 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 There’s no more news because it’s the weekend. Things like this are not concluded at the weekend. Something is definitely happening. Mel said as much to Ed Dawes by saying we this speculation is something to take notice of and talked about moving the club forward. Ed talked about it pre-match yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
