The complaints have started

I suspect the main complaints will be coming from the red parts of the Northwest, as those two clubs have the most to lose.

One of (or possibly both) Man Utd & Pool will eventually see their CL places disappear when Newcastle build their new team and if Spurs & Woolwich ever get their acts together.

You should understand the content of the complaints.
It doesn't matter where they come from.....and there should be many more such complaints!
THAT is the point.

All I know is I would not fancy being nutted by that Amanda Stavely. She looks effing ferocious.

Brummie and Ripley sum it up best for me.

If I tried to sum it up I'm sure I'd screw it up but I do have to say this habit we have of challenging human rights of countries when it suits us is mainly hypocrisy, especially in the way we just abanded Afghan, and have done so to many countries and regions in the past and also the fact that pick just about anytime in our history and you could pick issues with aspects of how we behaved as a country.

All countries are developing, just at different rates and most have had issues that they'd like to pretend never happened.

From what I've seen over the years it is better to work with others for change rather than villify them. I'm not talking let them walk all over you either, there are often many ways to improve situations without focusing solely on what's been done. If you are always looking back the direction you are headed is more challenging.

That is one scary looking Woman.

The fans at the games will have a kick up a fuss. Newcastle shirts covered in blood raised up for the world to see, effigies of journalists sliced up, ISIS flags. Something subtle like that

This is actually something I agree with. The purchase of the football club is an attempt to sportswash some horrendous atrocities. The best way to deal with that is to highlight and magnify said atrocities to the world. The takeover can't be undone but the ultimate goal of it certainly can be prevented. They want the world to see them in a false positive light but this is an opportunity to remind the world of their wrongdoings on a weekly basis

They can moan all they like but it's too late.
The door was open some years ago. This lot are just the next so called "undesirables" to worm their way into what is now one of, if not the most, lucrative business to get in on.
We all know football as a sport for the masses died a long time ago and is now just a business, with virtually no consideration for the fan on the street.

Hopefully it will all end in tiers when the money moves on to something better. And yeah, there is always something better eventually,

It's been spoken about previously but your head is in the clouds if you think Saudi Arabia will change their ways. Their laws and traditions are all based on a religion that they're not willing to reform that doesn't have a place in the 21st century. We've got absolutely nothing in common with that part of the world and now a country that has funded terrorism, pushed an extreme view of Islam that has been the backbone for the Taliban and tortures its own people has now taken over one of our clubs from our national sport. I couldn't align meself with that.

People said the same when City were bought out but Liverpool were affected by the ownership of the cowboys and nearly going into administration and United have just been managed badly. Liverpool and United are more resilient than you seem to think.

If anyone should be worried and complaining its a club like Spurs. What little chance of top 4 or top 6 you were hanging on to will now evaporate and you'll never catch up without money from European football.

Same can be said about every country that was controlled or at least heavily influenced at one stage by religion, including ours. I do jor expect it to happen overnight but the world is shrinking due to technology, resistance us futile.

Absolutely.

The Saudi's have got a plan and it's working like a treat. The second most powerful man in the country, second only to the king and all that he stands for has made a City dance to his tune like a load of monkeys.

Hopefully some fans will make their feelings clearly known. Not that Sky and the BBC will break their neck to cover it but it would certainly get around via the socials.
