[Football] Saudi Group buy 45% stake in Palace

[BadFish]

I saw that false dichotomy on fightingcock when they thought they were getting a Qatari £1b minority investment in 2023. Money rabid posters said it was all alright because it was an ‘investment fund’.

Surely that's only a false dichotomy if the invested group is working on behalf of the government or set up by them, a la Newcastle?

There is a difference between a government using your club to sportswash and a private investor investing.

What am I missing here?

They're going to be disappointed when they find out it isn't actually a palace in London they're buying.

A portacabin in Surrey

This reminds me of 'good AIDS and bad AIDS'.
