So you’re fine with referees earning money off of the same institution that the Shitty owner is vice president and deputy prime minister for?
Would you be fine with the vice president of the USA buying a Premier League club, being part owner of the MLS, then paying the referees to officiate in the MLS? That’s literally what’s going on here. The fact that it is an Arab country involved has nothing to do with the point I’m making.
It is a common business practice in literally any other professional industry- why are referees subject to a higher standard than paid consultants for example?
Answer my question please:
Would you be fine with the vice president of the USA buying a Premier League club, being part owner of the MLS, then indirectly paying the referees to officiate in the MLS?
Does consultants usually regulate/oversee/govern two organizations up against each other?
This. PL takes the best players from across the globe why not take the best referees too? Seems like a no brainer and at least they won’t have as much of a Manchester bias ffs lol
Your analogy doesn’t make sense. The PIF is a publicly backed state fund so your point about the vice president makes 0 parallel with it.
Consultants work for whomever pays them- so the short answer is yes. Also what organizations are against each other? The PL and the Saudi League? Again a dumb comparison
I get it, you’re slow. ‘organizations’ was the football clubs. Let’s say Shitty and Pool so that it’ll be easier for you.
Your consultant and referee comparison is bad.
If you owned an organization and your rival organization were under regulation by a third party(PGMOL), would you want a person who was getting paid by your rival organization to do the regulation?
Tell tale sign of a weak argument is when the ad hominems comes out. Grow up mate.
Referees are much closer to consultants in this scenario than to whatever absurd comparison you made to the vice president lolol. Referees are paid by the FA and organized as PGMOL. A referee, in their own time, taking a part time gig for another refereeing body is almost exactly what hourly consultants do.
City does not pay the referees salary in the PL, the fucking FA does. The referee being paid by the Saudi league or whatever league pays them is not City paying them. Go touch grass and stop being so conspiratorial.
LOL, says you??? You were the first one to drag the racism card into this discussion. When there were nothing racist about it.
And yeah, no. A referee taking a payment from a league that is partly owned by the same owner that owns City is not questionable for you? Then we have nothing more to discuss. Keep being naive, ignorance is bliss.

You’re missing the point so hard it’s hilarious.
