    If piracy was an issue the PL would have immediately failed the prospective new owners due to the wealth of information in the public domain and evidence from the French case.

    They haven't. Its a done deal.

    I'm not sure you understand the logic.


    I'm not being awkward, but simply know there's no right claim to certainty

    Worried more than irritated. He is desperate to sell because he knows the financial impact of covid.

    He's another one who could sue the PL. For £300 million.

    I fully understand it.

    Like some people I took the negative option that it has to be empty. I could have been positive and said that there will still be a biscuit left.
    If I wanted to be down the middle I would have said that there may or may not be a biscuit

    Apparently this new evidence is direct links to people within the consortium being involved in illegal betting and streaming.

    It's not. It's a tenuous link between Arabsat and members of the Saudi royal family. There are no links to Mogren or Al Ramyyat or PIF.

    The Qatari's and Emirati's are shareholders in the same offending satellite.

    It was the Saudi's who proactively closed down the satellite in August 2019.

    You clearly don't understand

    there was only ever one biscuit or none in the tin..

    whether you were positive or negative about the truth in me placing one in the tin has absolutely no influence on whether there is or not.

    The only correct position is that you don't know. that isn't being negative it's just the correct position.

    if you're claiming I knew it was in there that's a lie and if you claimed it's not in there that is also a lie.

    There wasn't just one biscuit. Such negativity. There were at least 4 in there.

    Isn't it funny that aside from Khasoggi's wife, it is only BEin Sports that are actively vociferous about this?

    It's not like BEin has a commercial interest in this after all and stands to lose millions......

    That's because someone has taken the last biscuit.

    None of it is illegal unless it has been proven in court.

    I'm going to say this one more ****ing time. If anyone else starts pissing and moaning based on bollocks from Twitter, redtops or Bein/Richard Keys can they be ****ing banned???

    The PIF is a massive investment organisation, investing billions in huge organisations across many industries mainly in the Western world. It has an army of lawyers, more money than God and will have everything thought out and planned to buy this club. If there were ever a slight doubt about the PL owners test, they would never have got involved in the first place. Amanda Staveley, Reuben Bros and PIF are unblemished people with no proven links to any crime whatsoever. The utter bollocks from Bein is typical Middle Eastern one-upmanship. Qatari's are miffed at the thought of Saudi AND UAE having bigger, better football presence than they do and will try any rubbish to stop it.

    Not only is there no legal reason to stop it, there's no moral one either - no more than Bein's Arabsat links, Qatars human rights record, and so on. The PL test will not fail at all. The deal is done bar a PL test and transfer of monies - I'd imagine the latter is not going to take more than seconds as the transaction will already be done in a holding account.
