    Decent post this what i saw on another site..

    "BBC reporting that Saudi Arabia are beginning to have financial problems due to the Covid-19 crisis.
    They have TRIPLED VAT from 5% to 15% and have suspended the cost of living allowance to try to shore up state finances.
    The oil rich state has seen it's income plummet due to global energy prices being forced down.
    I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Saudis are beginning to have second thoughts about investing in a 2nd rate under-performing football club.
    It's certainly taking a hell of a long time to sort out the purchase of NUFC. They are no closer to a final deal than they were a month ago."

    it's the fact the prem have rejected it that's the problem

    steve wraith was tipped off 1st hence why he took off into the trees after he'd spent months laughing at doubters and saying it's done and in some cases calling them all idiots..

    he ran off 12 hrs before this new evidence issue even came to light...quite a coincidence.

    of course he will pretend he ran off for other reasons, but the truth is he knows he was in for a pummelling on there

    Or he knew he would have a week of pessimistic, whinging, whining snowflake plebs crying on about a rumour and couldn’t be bottomed to put up with it.

    Just as reasonable an explanation as yours and probably more likely.

    this is sadly my position on this..

    it was last week, now this week.... and every time every just keeps telling themselves what they want to hear. we're now well into week 5 of a process that should take 2 weeks... slowly but surely the stench of negativity is seeping into reports as they backpeddle, so it's crystal clear to me that something has gone wrong.

    It comes from a place of complete ignorance.

    The reason for the economic problems are because the government is overly reliant on oil revenue, the entire point of the Saudi Investment Fund is to diversify from oil.

    The point of investing is to increase revenue in the future, the SIF is already worth 250 billion, that money is there, right now. Its not coming, its not possibly, its the money theyve already been given to spend.

    The person who wrote that post is clueless.

    Its an opinion, sure, but its wrong.

    Who said this week, last week, next week, the week after next or the week before last?

    A bunch of clueless Geordies and a few football journalists. Why are people getting so carried away.

    This entire thread is an embarrassment.

    And the PL have never given any time indicator as to how long the process with them would take.
