Morning Toffee. What are the hideous inbred warthogs up to today?

Hmmm tough question toffee. At a guess the majority of them are beginning the day by eating 2x greggs sausage and bean melts at 11. Followed by looking through a Facebook group called ‘supermag rumours’ and getting excited that they’ve been linked to Some superstar that they’ve never heard of before today. The afternoon is largely spent trying to punch pigeons and drinking Monster. At night time more Facebook group chat, flicking between nufc and EDL fan sites. They will fall asleep to the gentle and mesmerising tune of their teeth falling out.

That reminds me, I should see what Aldo has been up to this week.

Has he sanctioned any murders?

I don't know anything about the fella, but I wouldn't be advocating a blanket ban on ownership against all people from Saudi, even though I think it is possibly the worst, most backwards country in the entire world. What the FA needs to do is actually perform a proper background check and not the farce that they currently know as the fit and proper person's check, or whatever it is. If this Sheffield United owner has no link to the royal family, as well as no dodgy background or questionable income streams, then as far as I am concerned it's no issue at all.

Irregardless of wherever they're from, they should do this.

Should an overseas owner with no link to this country also perhaps put in a set amount of money (or insurance/ assurance) that is a safety reserve for the club so that if things go pear shaped then the club is protected? Is that even a thing now?

Agree with you mate. I mean, we would all welcome Usmanov so that pretty much makes us all hypocrites, haha. But that's only because there are already so many clubs with that much money that our only way to get close to them is with similarly dodgy owners. The FA will let anybody in as long as they can benefit from it.

Just a matter of time. The FA wouldn't dare get in the way of a country where there are billions of Pounds to be had for football rights, investments, broadcasting of the Premier League. They will be going through the motions now acting as if they are scrutinising the deal before pushing it through and rubber stamping it.

Sadly, probably this is likely

Saudi Royal family is divided into 2 parts (i believe) those who support MBS and those who dont.

Its fair to say that the Sheffield United owner is a member of the Royal family and supports him.
