How do you know it's not the Socialist wing of CPFC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted October 24, 2021 The House of Saud are, to us anyway, a vile family and their rule is not fit for purpose in this world. Just like many others of course. And protest is fine and good. But we do have to examine all owners in reality. Say for instance, Marcus Evans. While some things might not stand water, the fact that he avoids tax by registering his companies in Bermuda for starters, make me despise him as well. Some might say its not the same but it boils down to what is acceptable and unacceptable to each of us. And I would wager there are massive differences.

Clear intimidation of a free local press.😀 To be fair there are a lot of dubious characters involved in football finance but I don't think any come close to the Saudis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I fear football has sold its soul forever. There appears no turning back. Even the corrupt as well as the heinous have no place in the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want to go too off topic here, but all rich people find ways to avoid paying taxes. One of my friends has some extended family based in the Cayman islands and they basically make a ridiculous living finding creative ways for wealthy people to avoid taxes through clever accounting and manipulating business books. I won't name any of their clients, even though I've seen pictures of them together, but some of them are what we as people and in the media often think of as some of the good guys, ones you wouldn't think are into tax avoidance. The problem is that what people like them and Marcus Evans are doing is basically legal because the system is designed to allow certain people to exploit it and avoid paying what they should, I'd like to think if I was in their position I would contribute fairly like everyone else, but you never know, these people live on a different planet and it's bound to affect them. So by all means despise Marcus Evans, I can't fault you for that, all I'll say is they're all up to it to some degree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 319 Posted October 24, 2021 Unfortunately last time this banner seen at PL match. PL or certainly UEFa will outlaw this as political. Needs to be unfurled at every NUFC match this and every season maybe outside to remind the Geordies of selling their soul to real devils. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
