Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

This is what makes it even better. They partnered with them in 2010. SC accepted fines totalling far in excess of £1 billion in 2012 and 2019, liverpool have renewed their deal multiple times in between those two dates and indeed afterwards.

They had opportunities not only to break contract but also simply let it lapse and not renew but we're more than happy to continue taking money from a company that accepted more than a billion in fines for money laundering for extremists.

They have zero deniability in this, they've taken hundreds of millions from them since finding out this information, everything they've won under klopp has been part financed by terrorists. It's all tainted.

Their covid title should have a second asterisks beside it.

This is the thing isn't it. They go on about how 'horrific' our owners are, due to a westernised view of human rights etc. Yes the UAE could do better in some areas, but so could all countries, including the UK and USA.

However, we haven't chosen, out of all the companies out there, to have a company as dubious as Standard Chartered as our main sponsor. Selecting them was a business decision on the part of LFC, which they have continued to live by, despite everything over the years. They have chosen to work with a company who has helped finance terrorism. It's horrendous.

City are accused of ‘sportswashing’.

Liverpool et al are just ‘brainwashing’

Think what you might of Klopp - he is a tremendous manager - top 2 or 3 in the world (Pep, Ancelotti, and Klopp in that order, world best for me ATM) . That he's now left Liverpool is a huge blow to the club.

Not for me. Good, yes. Tremendous? No. He embraces the old 'cult of personality' trait - which is why he fitted like a glove at the Shrine. Basically, a supporter with extra privileges.
I think if he had a more open-minded approach to the job he would be a very good manager, but at the dippers he seemed to concentrate more on self-promotion than he did working for the club that actually paid his wages - and I believe there will be quite few dipper fans who grew tired of his 'ringmaster' approach.

I’ve no idea why Standard Chartered would want to do business with a delusional bunch of brainwashed fanatical murderers.


Or terrorist organisations.

Because they openly display the same degree of honesty and integrity ?

I think Standard Chartered may hold the moral high ground in this one…

How is Klopp top 2 or 3 in the world?? Big mouth, great at PR and wonderful at jumping up and down on the sidelines but should never be mentioned anywhere near Pep.

'The 2019 billion dollar fine was in relation to SCB processing transactions on behalf of Iran’s central bank (sanctioned) and they dodged criminal prosecution on account of lobbying by Cameron’s cabinet.

This new case involves “companies” that intentionally or unintentionally supported recognised terrorist groups.

BBC - Daniel Alter, former general counsel at the New York Department of Financial Services, which first pursued SCB for breaching sanctions, called the new disclosures “shocking” and "exponentially worse” than the bank admitted in 2012.“This shows a frightening connection to not just commercial entities, but terrorist organisations, terrorist front companies for organisations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, the Taliban - things that make up a regulator's nightmare - and we didn't know that: it was never disclosed to us. And it wasn't apparent in the data that we had,”

Mr Alter told the BBC. “It’s a whole different story”.'

Nothing to see here. Likewise Arsenal being sponsored by Rwanda. Move along.

And their dirty oil money stadium.

Complete different to our sponsorship deal with Etihad.

Take it that the standard chartered episode isnt news worthy or needs no media looking into why liverpool extended their shirt deal with them in light of past money laundering - oh and how the PL were happy for that deal to go ahead as well considering they want to scrutinize every fucker elses sponsorships

Something else news worthy must have broke instead eh
