"riosleftsock 9:47 Sat Oct 14 Much as I have waxed lyrical about Oman after spending 4 years there, I wouldn't scratch the surface too deeply. It's a very ""new"" country - my Hi-Fi loudspeakers are older - liberal, but only by Islamic standards, and it is governed by an iron fist in a velvet glove. Away from the coast, there is a sizeable. impoverished opposition to the current government that has been kept oppressed since 1973. While I was there I picked up no talk on the state - or any of it's agents - being interested in football strongly enough to consider investing in a premier league club. Only a handful of people I interacted with had even heard of West Ham."

I prefer to battle on without Arab ownership.

"5th When it comes to the ME, I think Qatar has out-Dubai'd even Dubai for corruption, dodgy politics and funding terrorism. Pretty much the only folk I'd trust out there are in Oman."

"Qataris have now pulled out of buying Man Utd. There had been claims made in media, they'd been looking at us. As much as a don'tike the idea of being owned by them, id prefer them to SB."

The ship of Theseus? What a pretentious load of old bollocks

The Guardian? You fucking cսnt.

Shit article.

"The writer of this piece likened Man City to the ""Ship of Theseus"" to question it's connectionto the Man City of old. West Ham are more like ""Triggers broom"", 17 new heads and 14 new handles and we're still run terribly."
