It takes balls to walk away from something you love due to principles. Respect to any fan who can do this.
Well that's a unfair comparison as they have more money
To be fair you shouldn’t support or stop supporting a club because of the owners. Supporting United now doesn’t mean you have Glazer posters on the wall. To me supporting United would be boring with. Billions behind us. Overnight we’d be the perfect endgame that the likes of City want to achieve within the next 100 years. The evilness speaks for itself but the sporting side would be fecked.
I’d like to think he wouldn’t pass the fit and proper test.Bollocks. If Hitler bought United would you continue supporting?

This debate is getting ridiculous just make your choice and let others make theirs. So much divide and toxicity, you don’t see this with City Newcastle PSG I think once the ownership has been decided people can decide what they want to do. Most people have read the pros and cons of an ME ownership by now but we’re just regurgitating the same information.Christ. Stupid take. One of the worst, most dense and poorly thought out takes in this forums history and that's saying something. Your post is impressively stupid and I am impressed.
"Anyone who stops supporting because the club is taken over by evil murdering bastards isn't a real fan". The opposite is true
If it was a percentage then you would have the same wriggle room as everyone elseSo there's % of your money you can contribute before you are judged morally.
So the richer you are the more moral wriggle room you have.
Beautiful.

plus he’s dead so we’re safe..for now
Would these fans also walk away if Saudi sponsored our shirts this season?It takes balls to walk away from something you love due to principles. Respect to any fan who can do this.

To be fair, I'd be surprised if anyone who has amassed a large sum of money, enough to buy a football club the size of Manchester United, doesn't have some skeletons in their closet. It's just which 'evil' you are comfortable with owning our football club.
I don't want our club to be part of the next sportswashing project as much as the next fan, but I don't know if it would be enough to end my support of the club totally. Though I totally respect anyone that sees it as absolutely unpalatable to them to support the club under that type of ownership.
I feel when push comes to shove, most people will eventually come to terms with it and continue to watch the games.

If they are so against sports washing you would think you would have stopped watching the premier league long ago
You supported the funders of an apartheid state for 15 years. give overI'm actually a racist, sexist, transphobic homophobe. Luckily, I have no money and donate to none of these causes so I am still going to heaven
So there's like a quantity of money from dodgy streams that puts you off? Like over 5% or 20% of club income?Of course not. Why do people only think in absolutes? That's not how humans operate.
There are figurative and literal skeletons . Exploiting labour is morally reprehensible; killing journalists is arguably worse.

You have any links to back all this up?The Qatari royal family have ordered murders, organized child sexual abuse, human trafficking, electric shock their staff for enjoyment, keep slaves in horrific conditions, regularly screw people over for money....the list is endless.
You absolutely should if the owners of the club are using it to enable them to do sufficiently horrible things. Your support should never be unconditional, there have to be some places you draw a line and say "this club no longer represents me well enough to earn my support". I'm not going to judge you or tell you where that line is for you, but it absolutely should exist somewhere.To be fair you shouldn’t support or stop supporting a club because of the owners.

I can't believe you think you are in a position to call someone edgy. whataboutism...the latest attack line from the woke eliteI am pro Palestine, as most of the site are. You're not as enlightened as you think you are taking this point of view. It's just edgy whataboutism innit.
When the club is directly owned and controlled by a state a line has clearly been crossed, whether you think that's worth ceasing your support or not there's absolutely zero chance you do not see that.So there's like a quantity of money from dodgy streams that puts you off?

I always get the impression that City are feared rather than really respected/admired by the media and wider football world. The coverage of Liverpool's title win stood in stark contrast to the City wins, where the press coverage always seems less effusive. City's "achivements" just ring a little hollow. I even know a few City fans who feel this way.
You know what, that probably wasn't the best phrase to use and was no way intentional
Wasn't it the Saudis that were accused of killing journalists? Qatar weren't involved in that were they? Not saying that absolves them of the other stuff btw.
So if Saudi or Qatar only pumped in 40% of revenue it would be fine? Then you can support and clap happily with no guilt?When the club is directly owned and controlled by a state a line has clearly been crossed, whether you think that's worth ceasing your support or not there's absolutely zero chance you do not see that.

staff member (woke elite) upset at me saying woke elite...just can't make it upStop saying woke elite, it makes you seem insane, or at least typing frantically in a MAGA cap.
