Not trying to cause offence but is it really any different to foreign players coming here whilst we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. 
 

I’ll say again I’m open for views and not picking sides .

There’s a huge difference imo. The UK joined a war against terror.
 

The conflict in Ukraine is hardly the same, it carries no justification what so ever and Russia are committing horrific war crimes. Most of the world condemns this hence peoples reluctance to involve themselves with Russia

Safe to say that the 2nd Iraq war was more to do with fictional WMD's than terror.

War on terror was about as real as Katie prices bristols

It's depressing. Spurs are the perpetrators in this case but money talks - look at all the players being sold to Saudi Arabia. In Tottenham's position could we confidently say City would be any different?

It's about spurs more so accepting the bid, rather than saying strait no.

How is this different to allowing Russian tennis players to play at Wimbledon under the guise of being neutral and win the prize money?

Perhaps, on a footballing level, Europe really is prepared to “forget Russia”. But as the boycotts and bans begin to loosen, as other sports prepare to readmit Russia to the fold, it is a reminder of the fragility of solidarity in a deeply complex world.

The International Olympic Committee has decided to allow Russian athletes for next year’s Paris Games. Wimbledon is set to lift its ban on Russian players next month. Meanwhile, Russia’s footballers are discovering that the beauty of football is also its scourge. There is always – always – somebody else to play.

Apart from the money travelling in the opposite direction and the owners of Spartak Moscow (Lukoil) being a Sanctioned entity, it's exactly the same......
