The unnecessary use of 'Russian' in that sentence outs you as a casual racist - I'd rather you were out of the club.
I am a lot of things but casual rascist is not one, on the other hand someone who supports our big useless money grabbing Eastern European whilst he is bleeding the club dry and not even playing, is a tad misguided
Glad you're not - but you slipped up for a second and sounded like one.
The use of 'Russian' insinuates a link to his nationality and the trait of being useless (or money grabbing) or simply your dislike to him for being Russian. There's no two ways about it. Had we been speaking about various people, 'Russian' could have been the differentiator, but this is a thread about Pogrebnyak and there was no confusion about who you were talking about. You could swap the word 'black' or 'ginger' and it becomes more obvious as to why you're wrong...
"Please, please get this useless black guy off our payroll and out of our club, he's just a money grabbing leech" Generally speaking, I'm fed up with the PC brigade, but you've clearly got it wrong here.
However, on topic...
He wanted to play at a higher level yet got offered an exessive ammount of money to play for a Russian owner at Reading. His wife was happy as she could continue living in London. Who else would say no to this?! Ever since, he's put in a shift, become popular around the club but sadly for us fans, under-performed.
If he got offered a good contract at another club that suited: him, his family and the RFC then he'll be off, but until then, direct your hatred to our previous Russian owner
