Sky on youtube is constantly posting stuff about our spending, almost every other day. Just recently they posted a list of the top 5 spenders this season., and made sure to highlight Chelsea at number 1. No mention about the number of players we have out injured. But transfer fees? Oh yes. 7 hours ago, YorkshireBlue said: That's because, we are one of the most hated clubs in England. The press love anything negative they can post about us. Also blatant undercurrent of xenophobia against Americans imo, a lot of it is pure "these fucking Americans don't know how to behave like us classy Brits" Blue Armour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even going into ethics and sanctions, imagine the prominent US Citizen sending 15 millions of dollars to Russia now, just like that. Good luck. The player is of course victim here, but oh well. This is not happening and is utter shitshow if it somehow does. Imagine getting rid of a Russian owner to then be replaced by Americans to then send 15m to Russia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes us more like the Americans than we think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegetable 830 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Aren't this club transfers always a topic in media all over the world ever since Roman took over? Numbers click, even for non-sport people, so content farms have it easy. Plus a lot of UK pundits seem to be supporting/ex-players of United or Arsenal, so there you go. Don't see much difference with or without TB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like I am a lot more cynical than a lot of people but I really don't trust that any of these people know what is going on inside our club or between our club and others, easy to make up stories with no proof that sound plausible and profit off of it for these fakers IMO. No standards for journalistic integrity in the world today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government put sanctions on an English football club owned by a Russian, do you really think they will then allow that English club to send 15m to Russia regardless of the reason?

Got a bit more about him on the ball than I thought he did.

Pretty much yes, it's a prime example of diplomatic pressure. I guess they may move to Indian, Belarusian or maybe Chinese league without much issue. 11 minutes ago, Vesper said: it's going to a bloody football team, not into the Russian war budget Given how Russia works, that's not guaranteed. Plus football team is also part of economy that most of civilised world is trying to supress, not support. But it's all more of politics than football really.

Vesper 31,113 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I find it hilarious that a few here who apparently had no issues with supporting a team owned by a Russian billionaire who literally was helping to fund Putin and Russian governmental entities for decades, are now developing cases of virtue signalling, tongue clucking, and moral compartmentalising over us trying to by a Russian teen creative MF for £12m smdh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 31,113 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 you know, the true PR win is us in the West stripping Russia of their best (by far) young outfield player I think another club should also move for the only other Russian player who interests me much atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can actually imagine a lot of western people not knowing who and where from Abramovitch is, but still, it's bit different timeframe than Russian regime starting a war with borderline European country. But the ethical side of things it's not what I'm about - each to their own - I just find it hilariously delusional for people to think it's possible to conduct normal, multi-million dollar business with Russian entities right now because "footy is footy" and Russian players have nothing to do with it. For shit it's not. It's even funnier, given our owner is American. Even if they'd find some loophole, it would cause a massive backlash and shit storm all over the world. And I don't even mean media or normal people. Remember the UK gov crackdown on us due to Skripal thing? Since then they were looking to topple this club over. And we could have this x5, including the same crackdown on TB from American side. YorkshireBlue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well clearly you just like putting words in people's mouths, what I was implying was the club will not send money to Russia and the chances are the UK government will not allow it either. I get you want the player, I would like him here too but as it stands I believe there is no chance we will get him this window or next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned no names you are the one having a go and getting personal in terms of insults I mentioned no specific names and it was not a direct 'quote reply' to anyone ironic that you are positing that I am putting words into people's mouths when you just did exactly that with me this is what I said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
