Thats clutching at straws. Whenever the take over is mentioned its regularly labelled as the 'arab takeover' or some reference to oil. Nothing racist in that. If he had come out and said something like, 'the takeover by the turban heads' or something like that, fair do's. Ian Wright has always had a big mouth, why would he change now? Just because SWP plays here?! Don't think so. The debate about not selling to rivals is a common one, not just because its Bellamy. Its basic common sense not to sell a top payer to a main rival, and thats what Spurs are, a main rival.

with respect mate it is racist. just because so many journos refer to "manchester city's arab owners" or the "arab takeover" shouldn't deflect from this, especially when "arab" and "manchester city" are mentioned in the same sentence there's often a snide undertone to it.
it's racist because in every other case the owners of football clubs are referred to by their nationality & not their ethnic origin. so we have the russian owner at chelsea & american owners at villa & the rags. they're always referred to by their nationality, never by their ethnic origin which is jewish.
imagine if, say, liverpool were taken over by a nigerian consortium and the media referred to them as "liverpool's black owners" there would be uproar & rightly so. the nationality of city's owners is emirati & that's how the media should refer to them. let's have some respect & consistency.
Yeah fair enough, kind of see your point. I normally refer to racism as when they are derogatory remarks, you know the shit i'm talking about. 'Arab owners' comes across more of a description than a racist comment, however i do see your point.rassclot said:Pigeonho said:Thats clutching at straws.
