How much say does anyone at Chelsea have in this?
Or don’t they at all?

Cfc quad stoppers won't be sharing your enthusiasm

posted on 24/3/22

This is exactly what i was saying a few days ago BrummieBro. Their bid isn't nearly as viable as the bid from the consortium that my company's owners are part of. I fully expect our consortium's bid to be the successful one.

They didn't back out, they weren't shortlisted.

I don't want us to be associated with a country that executes people on a routine basis, for the most trivial of offences, including homosexuality and blasphemy, were women are treated as not even 2nd class citizens.

Not for me thanks, I'd rather us be back in Division Two!

I don't personally know anything about them but if Paul Cannoville is against them on those grounds I'd trust his opinion!

Funny how Chelsea fans are only happy that the Saudi’s are out of the running when they are actually out of the running. Are we actually meant to believe they have a moral compass?

If they did they do not appear to be front runners.

He’s correct though, I didn’t see any negative comments on here about the potential Saudi takeover, in fact it was the opposite

So you'll be able to name me anyone apart from Quad, who have shown any enthusiasm for a Saudi bid then?

Didn’t see many chelsea fans lamenting the fact Saudi’s were in the running in the first place.

Easy to say “phew didn’t want them” when they’ve not in the running.

Same. As a football fan I can, and kinda have to, stretch my morals for many things - but I'd find it very hard to support a regime that's obviously in the pocket of MBS (whether they are 'officially' or not). It just wouldn't feel right.

It would also be incredibly difficult to support us in the knowledge there would be individuals on the board who legitimately hate me simply for being born in the west. I'm sure that's true of all clubs in the boardrooms, the hating the fans part, but not for such alien reasons I can't possibly understand. That's too much of a disconnect from my personal reality to be comfortable with.

Yet another dullard with his flawed propaganda!

The only reason we turned down Saudis was not morality - even the Guardian said SMG were not directly connected to regime - it was because the offer involved debt finance.

FT covered the story last night
