But as I said, not all Middle Eastern States are the same. The Saudis are way ahead in that sense over the others, with a medieval outlook.

You can't treat them all as one.

Yes the Saudis appear to be the worst
Doesn’t seem to bother Newcastle fans
But I don’t think any of them excel when it comes to human rights
I certainly wouldn’t want any of them at Blackpool
State ownership just doesn’t sit right with me full stop.
Especially when the state has dubious human rights

True enough.

Someone buying Blackpool, pumping millions into the club making multi million pound signings gaining promotion to the premiership and finishing top half, not for me thanks

If that turned out to be Vladimir Putin, what would you think then?

An apposite comment that I don't think you intended.

Indeed, original comment now corrected

Believe Sheikh Macock is being lined up to take over at the Nobbers!

Currently sitting in the offices of a Sovereign Wealth Fund, I dare say that there's some rubbish spouted here....

Think he’s got too much on to be thinking about buying Blackpool

In my opinion all that is wrong with football, attending only his second match in 15 years of ownership of City.
I know Sadler has come in for some criticism from a few on here ( me included) but a genuine fan of football and his club.
I did want City to win for the country but after reading that I've come to the conclusion we are in a good place , yes money buys you a treble and the best players but city's fans were lifeless until they scored , the emptythiad is similar on most games.
And before anyone states i wouldnt be saying that if they bought blackpool, i most certainly would, In a nutshell we've got a real club with real fans, shove the dirty oil money !!!

He's done wonders in Manchester? He's created countless jobs, created unbelievable infrastructure for the community and further afield. He's a billionaire, hes going to have other business interests? So what if he doesn't attend every week? You're having a laugh if you wouldn't take that for your club. Winning trophies, no real debt, and a club that is at the centre of the community.

 

[John Deary me]

Every week? Try every ten years !!
Of course he will have other interests , when the tide turns he won't have to worry about rocking up and lobbing tennis balls back at fans.
All fairytale stuff , good luck to city like I said I wanted them to win , completely not my bag though .

yep, happy being little old Blackpool, knowing your place and having no ambition. Poor old downtrodden me.

See mine at #33. His regeneration of that part of East Manchester is to be admired. However, his first priority should be democracy and the right to protest in his own country. As I say in my earlier post, their Royal family has been good at spreading the wealth and building infrastructure in Abu Dhabi. Facilitating democracy and civil rights is a better way of using their power than sports washing.

If politics rules your mind over football then isn't it time you stop watching the game. Life is for enjoying and watching football should be a pleasure where you can switch off rather than be obsessed with the politics of every goddam situation in football. .

In human society politics trumps everything. However, there are levels of social experience that can be enjoyed without reference to politics, I agree. Try telling that to the rulers of Abu Dhabi though before you get to me.

Well if you're happy you've got the balance right, that's all that matters then isn't it.

It's called reality, we'll see how ambitious our current owner is in the next few weeks , doubt he's enough coppers to buy success. At least little old Blackpool won't have to answer 115 FFP charges.

of course it's reality but it's also about being the best you can be. Would i like Blackpool to be the best team in the country? Damn right I would.

Well that's one thing we can agree on . We need to get a good start , I have a good feeling about the season ahead

hope so. A lot needs to happen before the season starts.

I'd like to think it's all begun, SS needs to be more visable than the sheikh Critchley has a bigger job on his hands than he had last time, he will need the chairman to be fair and back him if its going to work .
Looking forward to it......
