That 'Fit and Proper?' book will need an update....

[Mumbo]

I could’nt care less what the dial a cliche media trots out
and I wouldn’t expect one of the most notorious names in modern history to come without baggage
or not be the butt of jokes,People make connections however inappropriate they may be and I’m afraid that
no amount of PR,offence taken or reason will stop that.

When I saw this tread title, I assumed it was a working title for Danny Hall's next book...

Think you’ll find it was a piece of pipeline

Yeah, a bit of pipeline with some squiggles on the inside that look a bit like rifling .... to make the liquid flow better .......... wait a minute ....

Next thing you’ll be telling me that the pipe ‘mounts’ we made looked remarkably like breech blocks

Indeed ...... ridiculous, a bit like the bits that looked like a great big gun muzzle found in a West Midlands Forge workshop

The Bin Laden Family has literally thousands of legitimate business relationships around the world, most in the west. Why should we be the ones who are singled out for grief?

Well. Because people who prefer a legitimate business like B&Q don't go around calling people who prefer a similar legitimate business like Wickes The Pigs & singing You're Going To Get Your Fucking Head Kicked In at them.
Football does not operate the same as Bin Ladens other businesses.
That would be my guess

Well put

 

[Bruce Wayne]

A bit surprised by the reaction to this.

Regardless of how lovely the rest of the Bin Laden family may be, the media will have a field day with it and it is likely to reflect badly on us in a lot of people's eyes.

You lot just aren't ready for my brand of realpolitik.

Correct mud sticks and the media (brain washing machine) will ruin us. Prince has fucked up with that statement.

The United Sates Government has had many dealings with the family and even trained Osama. Perhaps the UK should cut off all ties with them

That's like comparing apples with oranges mate. I don't give a flying fuck about the yanks, only SUFC.

The point is, many nations deal with the Bin Ladens so don't single United out. Think it is the same fruit. Agree wit the second sentence.

Just another outlet that sell crap MDF shelves then.

In the interests of the general public the name/words Bin Laden and dealings with can only be a negative for us.

What about fuck the general public I am only interested in SUFC

Because the weight of the general public will weigh on the club. I want us to be a famous football club not an infamous one. This regime stinks and trust me i'm not McCabes biggest fan either.

Trouble ahead.

 

[Ball_Sup (Phil)]

When opposing fans are chanting "Bin Laden FC" at us, I'm a Big Fan of waving FT Trading Reports & Companies House Lists Of Directors back at them as suggested by previous posters

Bruce was not trying to pick a fight. Whoever won really concerned me, was not comfortable with the Americans that McCabe was selling to and my concerns with the Prince go beyond the Bin Laden link . Roll on Saturday and 3 pts (please)

No fight here mate, just don't like where this is going. The media machine has already cranked up the Bin Laden link fuelled IMO foolishly by Abdullah today. In the worlds eye the name Bin Laden is not good. One black sheep or not, mud sticks especially with the casual public. I think we should/he should have kept fuckin sctum about this. My confidence in this new ownership is pretty low.

 

[WalkelyFan]

They were mainly Germans though....

You were right - but not in the way I suspect you meant. At the time of World War 1 the Royal Family's name was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, They realised this night not go down to well especially as the Kaiser was a direct cousin - so they changed their name to Windsor.

You might also care to note some of the Royal family thought Hitler was right.

 

[8lade]

Let's see how many fans don't come to see their team play us because of it, in reality nobody gives a fuck.

Who gives a flying fuck about the "casual public". Not long ago people were saying sponsors could fuck off if they didn't like Ched Evans. Now we're supposed to dance to the tune of dim-witted non-fans and fans of other clubs because the media will use anything for a click-bait headline. Perhaps you should draw the curtains and stay indoors till it all blows over.

 

[Lawrence]

The rebellious part of me wants us to get funding from the Bin Ladens so all the ignorant idiots can run around in circles until their heads explode.




It won't reflect badly on us in the slightest, it does, however, reflect very badly on certain sections of the media. If you want to allow yourself to be pushed around by small-minded idiots, I feel sorry for you.
I think they are all embarrassing themselves.

Ho yes it will, just wait for the fall out, remember Ched Evans! Every away ground! oh dear who was it who said he had no money!

Do not under estimate the power of the media when the mass public are absorbants. This can do a lot of damage trust me.

And as for your advice I have shut the blinds and ordered a Dominoes, wanna split 50/50?

 

[Roygbiv]

I recall the very same argument about the supposed Bin Laden PR disaster a few months back. A couple of days later, nobody gave a shit. We secured a huge sponsorship, spent more money than ever before and not a single paper mentioned it again. The same will happen as there is literally no story other than Prince Abdullah has links with a reputable family. The media know this is as far as the story can run. They know they can't mention The Prince or Sheffield United have any connections to terrorism.

It's just a nice click bait article that will be forgotten about just like last time. There is absolutely no depth to the story beyond a headline. The media can't go any further with it now.

I meant it as a joke rather than a brief history lesson
