I understand trying to balance the books but why the fack is Β£40k helping ex players worth cutting exactly? Weβre a multi million pound club ffs. This guy seems to make cuts every time we lose a match.

SE,
Don’t you work in finance? You understand how the global financial system operates, right? It involves EVERY country, including those you may despise for their actions, for reasons like those we’ve discussed. Money flows into every type of stock and sector around the world, from the retailers you shop with to the institutions you transact with. The club doesn’t operate in isolation, even if you think it does. That means you, and every fan involved with the club, are already engaging with money from the Middle East in your everyday lives.
So, the morality argument you’re making loses its weight when you consider that we’re all part of a global system that includes this kind of investment. If you’re truly committed to your stance, you’d have to remove yourself entirely from the system, including the internet, and then make the argument. Only then would it carry real meaning. Until then, it's difficult to ignore the contradictions inherent in rejecting one specific source of investment while still benefiting from the broader system.
Yes, make the moral argument if you want to see change in those regimes. But don’t use that argument to reject a source of finance simply because it’s from the Middle East, especially when you’re already part of the system. It’s a contradiction. You need to change your record.

Why?
It is a spectacular point. If you do not want to accept it, just admit you’re a hypocrite.

So anyone who wants to commit to a criticism of an amoral globalist incarnation of capitalism should refuse to engage financially with the system in any way whatsoever?
You’re telling me that you cannot find any of the several reasons why that argument is spectacularly stupid? I’m sure you can.
