The afternoon Mailbox comes at the World Cup from both sides: we didn't choose Qatar, but we can't pretend it's all fine. Also: Liverpool for sale, are they? Really?
World Cup conundrum: No say, no guilt for fans over Qatar. But we can’t turn a blind eye…The Mailbox comes at the World Cup from both sides: we didn’t choose Qatar, but we can’t pretend it’s all fine. Also: Liverpool for sale, are they? Really?bombshell news of FSG’s sale of Liverpool football club
I think Fsg recognize now frontrunner momentum has collapsed to the extent it is no longer spot treatments but more an overhaul that is needed. And I think that is scary to them. Maybe in the boardroom came that thought bubble: you can’t simply drop 85M on a darwin and believe he’ll magically solve key outgoings while simultaneously papering over frontline player attrition that will occur over any season anyway.
In the event that an Arab based investment fund buys the club and starts chucking money around a lot of Liverpool fans will have to eat their own criticisms but honestly I can’t see that, if that was the goal why turn down the £3bn offered last year? The World Cup has always been in existence, what changed this time is the means, the vessel to our enjoyment. It is unfortunate, but we’re not guilty.
Whilst it is welcome that a number of FAs are petitioning FIFA to deliver on their promise of lasting improvement on this issue, what are they going to do if FIFA doesn’t do it or Qatar refuses? My guess would be nothing. I can’t see the FA withdrawing the England team. And if it did, the Government would be pushing a u-turn to save its own embarrassment and its funding stream. So this looks like an utter waste of time.
I’ve friends who moved to Abu Dhabi – another state that oppresses the rights of the LGBTQ community – and when questioned by gay friends about how they were supposed to visit they were told similar: just don’t show them that you’re gay. Now these friends are a liberal couple and have attended countless Pride events. On an individual level you can understand why they wanted to go abroad and make a shit ton of money and paying little tax .
Though I know it won’t make a difference I won’t be watching it. It’s ok if you do just accept what you’re turning a blind eye to.Look, I get it, modern players love a moan up, but the most histrionic side in history? Not sure. As for the Arteta technical area thing, it’s hilarious. Most of them do it – Conte literally left his on Sunday to smack the ball out of someone’s hands and pick up his third booking this season. I thought we all liked pashun? Apparently not when it’s a gesticulating Spaniard managing Arsenal.
