SSN ticker saying deal agreed for 300m

I'm not getting excited about anything until it's done & dusted.

Not getting excited until we've signed Neymar and he's dusting the training ground canteen

I hope the first thing they do is go out and buy Haaland, Mpappe, Kane, Icardi, Aubamayang, Dembele, Jovic, Aguero, Mane, Sterling, Sancho, Plea, Poulsen, Piatek and Griezmann, for squad depth.

Should we be excited? Trading someone who gets stick for zero hours contracts and "laying off staff" for someone who has killed thousands in Yemen and is head of a quasi fascist state?

Still uncomfortable about this.

I'm still the same as I was in January or whenever it was. Don't like it at all.

Wasnt a criticism of you mate just wanted to take my moral stand

[Blue & Maroon]

Had to make my Twitter private I've got so much s*** for saying that it's bad to support Saudis.

[Don Sholeone]

Like I said way back, supporting the club doesn't mean you support the owners and the things they do away from football, So supporting the club for the last 13 years doesn't mean you are ok with and support how Ashley treats his workers, just like supporting the club now doesn't mean you support Saudi HR issues. You are allowed to draw a line between the two.

But lot's of people have boycotted the club based on Ashley's ownership, it's how I've got to Everton, Oxford, Wigan, Barnsley, Villa etc in recent years and will now drop all morals because we will be doing well under a new regime despite them doing worse things than Ashley ever can.

Yeah people didn't boycott because of how he's running SD, they did so because of how he runs the football club.

Decent thread on Twitter that's tried to explain all the stuff we know.
