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 also think that there can’t be many media organisations that are owned by people that haven’t had some dealing with the bin laden family themselves, considering how big the family is and how powerful they seem to be in the business world.

You hope, I can hear the chants now! Have the F.A done due diligence on the Prince, who he is? Is business dealings, his wealth and sustainability?

Oh no, not chants!!

He would quite clearly pass the the fit and proper test as he has been joint owner of a club for 6 years that hasn't been in administration

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.

It wasn't fueled by the Prince really was it? It was fueled by one of us asking about it.

He answered the question (correctly) and said he'd deal with one of, if not the, world's richest family again if the opportunity arose. Which is surely what you want from the person bankrolling something, openness to new funds.
 
Let's get it all out into the open NOW!

We know Peter Sutcliffe came to Sheffield and possibly delivered something to BL on his lorry.

Fred West. Pretty sure he would have had a red and white striped candlestick bedspread at some point.

Mao Tse Tung. Nephew Michael played for the Blades.

Jack "Hannibal" Lecter . Academy head.

Denis Nilsson. Former full back.

Neil Warnock. Ex manager

Didzy, Monty and 'Lungstrom' are all direct descendants of Genghis Khan too. FACT.

Mousset's pirate thing isn't just for show, he's the ancestor of Jean Lafitte and still actively takes vessels during the close season.

He has a private dock in Le Havre where he keeps his spoils.
 
It's like the conspiracy theories after 9/11.

Bin Laden family flown out of the US in the aftermath was sufficient for plenty to intimate the proof of an inside job.

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.

Are you seriously trying to say that the BBC (and our political class) were wrong about Jimmy Savile being a 'national treasure', worthy of a knighthood? 😂

@realDonaldTrump: So sad that Sheffield owner praising 9/11 TERRORIST Bin Laden family, an insult to our great nation. This Prince clearly bad for the UK. Chris Wilder good guy.

The only people that give a flying fuck about this are the people that cry their eyes out over the media writing nasty articles about us. I couldn't care less if the money was from Osama himself and we were the most hated club in the country, who gives a flying fuck what the media/public perception is?

I have no issue with Bin Laden money (and as previously stated I worked for a company that had them as major investors) however, it makes my piss boil when I see pictures of the blazing towers with our beloved clubs name in the article above the pictures

I was being called a "rape apologist" a few years ago. That was water off a duck's back and so will this be too.

Sticks and stones etc....fuck what they think.

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.

Hmmmmm someone's changed their mind 🤔
 
This will be like the pundits thing, where they said we play hoofball until a few better educated ones start calling them out. They’ll be a few comments about us being associated with terrorists and then other journos will start saying ‘what a load of crap from ignorant people’ and it will be forgotten about in a couple of months apart from the noisy neighbours who’ll just keep chatting their shit like they always do.

But why? Anyone with half a brain cell knows that there is absolutely no link. And those who don't get it are too fucking thick to be reasoned with
