So if you live and work in Abu Dhabi, all your money comes back to oil and you are therefore guilty of dirty business? Christ remind me never to accept a job in the UAE1 -

I've just come here to find out more about his 6 week road tripcafctom said:Only on Charlton Life can a thread move from discussing ‘oil money’ behind a 2nd division football club seamlessly into the ethics and bioligical reasons behind why a cat needs meat in its diet. And we aren’t even on 2 full pages yet.3 -

I genuinely don’t care where their money comes from, could make their money making fur coats from kittens for all I care5

I was not disagreeing with you, I even gave a like to your post previous to mine.JiMMy 85 said:
I’m not allowed to wonder who they are for 12 months? That... makes no sense whatsoever.ElfsborgAddick said:
I have said all along, can we sit back and give them 12 months?JiMMy 85 said:I don’t know the OP of this thread or why he’s getting a kicking (I assume it’s called for), but I would like to know more about our owners. I’m keen to find out what their motives are and where their money comes from. Not saying there’s anything to worry about, I would just like to know.
Please.0 -
It was a throw away comment, as I couldn't be bothered to elaborate. However, to say "there's blood and abuse" all over oil is the kind of throwaway comment that someone who knows sweet fa about the oil and gas industry says. I am sure if your only reference point is Amnesty International you can quote some examples (more related to corrupt governments than the industry itself) but having travelled extensively in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and a number of countries from the former Soviet Union whilst working in the industry, I could quote right back to you many, many, examples where the production of oil and gas has promoted the development and prosperity of many countries. Anyway, not worth spending any more time on this.iainment said:

Can we merge this with the “Rise of the Vegans” thread?1

@iainment - Would like to ask you what is an acceptable and ethical industry for your billionaire to come from?
And remember they have to be in to football and happy to pay over the market value, assuming the reported price is correct, for what is now a struggling 2nd tier side0 -

Oil money -------- love it.Paid me the big shilling for a good few years.
I hear ESI are to start fracking in the car park at The Valley.They weren't pot holes they were test pits.

Either ignore and it sinks down the board with a whimper, or reason and debate. Chucking personals into it just makes a number of you look trashy.
Some people’s natural stance is look to go against the grain, I suspect that might be iainment’s natural habitat.6 -
Iain can I call you Mr Ment ?
You are entitled to your views but you are the Party Pooper.
If there was a Gold medal for being a Party pooper you would be standing at the top of the rostrum.
This doesn't make you a bad person BUT like the Extinction rebellion activists who got on top of trains in East London and stopped many folk get to work including zero hour contracted workers it seems ill timed and out of kilter with the real world.
The world must keep looking to ways of being greener and birth control world wide would help as the demand would then lower for fossil fuels.
ESI are innocent OK.0 -
The money and it's origin isn't so much of an issue. I'm sure it's nowhere near as dubious as Chelsea's Abramovich money.
I do wonder how certain aspects of Charlton's community work are going to square with the new owners though. How does it work with things like Charlton vs Homophobia, Proud Valiants and Charlton Invicta etc, when being gay in the UAE can land you in jail? Do the ultimate owners of Charlton believe in the core message of inclusion through football, or does it end up being a mere hypocritical toleration for them, just a cost of doing business in the west?0 -
I bet you're fun at parties, fun sucker if there ever was one.0

I love the oil & gas industry. Your road trip would be short without it. Even an electric car relies on this industry through renewables that would not be developed without them.
A lot of bad things go on, it's the same in many other industries, but oil & gas is high profile.
Saying the UAE has blood on it's hands because of oil is a stupid comment. Would you feel the same if a Scottish billionaire took us over? All Scottish money is oil tainted?0 -
