Clearly your president doesn’t think so If you are referring to JB, Wael and the club were quite within their rights to continue to employ JB, and would have in all probability faced legal action if they had fired him. At all points beforehand, Wael actually made it clear that JB would be fired if found guilty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you trying to shoehorn some sort of comparison between Wael's backing of Rovers and the Saudi bankrolling of Newcastle, then you are misguided and misinformed. People are malnourished and lack food in the UK. Are you suggesting that countries that receive money from UK investors should reconsider? Interesting that you can draw such fine moral distinctions between investment from Jordan and from the Saudis - both of which are countries defined by Freedom House as "not free". And yet when it comes to legal tax avoidance and illegal benefit fraud you make no such distinction. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 What's all this tax avoidance chat? SL pays the appropriate level of tax for the territory he resides in. No avoidance there. He might have moved there to make his tax lower, but that isn't the same as avoidance by some loophole. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have gone off track - the essential point is that you were 'tinpot' relatively recently. In 1982, when you almost went bust because you could not manage your financial affairs (say what you like about us, we pay our creditors and don't rely on charity from our players), and when the drummer of Bros was your chairman. But it was certainly more fun, wasn't it? Professionalism has certainly come with a price for you. You mean like shooting yourself in the bollocks by ripping down your tent without applying for planning permission for a bigger tent to be erected ? Don't talk to us about "professionalism".......your on shaky ground...........ha, ha get it, see what I did there ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, are you equally non-judgemental on the Saudi takeover of Newcastle? Like Lansdown, the Saudis have earnt their money, invested in the economy and are fully entitled to adopt their own preferred financial arrangements? Yep, they’re almost exactly the same, aren’t they? Ridiculous number of beheadings, stonings & forced amputations have taken place at Hargreaves Lansdown. What a truly pathetic attempt at a comparison. Must try (or think) harder, pal. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't referring to averages, and accidentally referred to the 2021-22 figures, not those from last season. Last season is actually a very bad guide, because they underachieved massively. Note that I was also referring to individual games, not the average. See here: Charlton Athletic | Home Attendances | 2021-2022 | Football Web Pages Two attendances in excess of 26,000. Charltons average that season was just over 15,000. How thick can you get your either really committed to trolling or braindead . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The political situation in Jordan, an authoritarian semi-democracy, is in no way comparable to Saudi Arabia, which is a theocracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banned from football for betting in matches he was involved (still lost those bets ) stubbing a cigar out in youth players eye, etc etc. So upset about where a wealthy person chooses to live but doesn’t care about Barton’s actual real crimes.

That is some leap, Steve Lansdown is a part owner of a private company yet is somehow responsible for Government policy. You are seriously comparing a regime which regularly executes people to this? Absolutely bonkers, stick to the “Jordan isn’t as bad as Saudi Arabia” line, completely irrelevant but at least that’s coherent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
