Yes, most probably. His love for the club and his hatred of Ashley has caused a blind spot the size of the Eiffel tower. He cannot understand the irony of objecting to Ashley as a bad owner and then being over the moon about their current owners. The love of money and all that $$$.
Yep exactly experience with my Geordie mate. I love him, he's a great bloke but he has simply looked the other way and is outraged by any suggestions of impropriety on behalf of the ownership. He just keeps trotting out 'keep politics out of sport' and fails to see or refuses to see that that is...
I was in the family stand when city won the title at the Amex. It sickened me that our fans were being so 'sporting' to their supposed achievement. It's there only time I've ever removed myself from a football match part way through as my rants were becoming unsuitable for the location and...
They willingly, for the most part, sold their soul. As long as they got rid of their not so bad owner (sign of entitlement) and replaced him with an unscrupulous, evil and murderous regime, then that was all hunky dory.

For sure that's what one part of the club is.
But how simplistic to think that's all of it. There has to be a line drawn somewhere and that's down to individual conscience. If one took your premise to it's limit, it wouldn't be a problem for Putin, the north Korean guy, Hitler or Stalin to be...
Your fans protested against Ashley for sure. Was it enough, I really don't know, but simply having an unscrupulous owner is never likely to arouse a huge amount of sympathy in the football community and elsewhere. When we hear about the 'plight of the poor Newcastle fans' we need to think about...
I have a lot of sympathy for you, someone who is appalled by the S. Arabian sportswashing going on at your club. However, can't you and other like minded people raise the issue at matches or form protest groups? I would definitely be a Brighton supporter still if it were our club involved, but I...
That is irrelevant.
