The central fund is where the purchase money is coming from. The owners/ directors are those named in company NCUK. The PL tests don't commence until all directors are appointed. The Saudi state is not listed as a director.
The Saudi Nation have chosen those directors, there’s no debate that the fund buying the club is de facto the Saudi state. You lot have been crowing about it for 2 months ffs
The Saudi nation may have chosen them but Mogren is CEO and Al Rumayyan is Governor of PIF. They run it on behalf of the Saudi state. They are the nominated directors of PIF and a link has to be established to those two individuals. It can't be. Very clever appointments and no doubt designed to bypass concerns with piracy.
It’s not their money, they therefore aren’t the owners, merely named representatives. You’d have a point if the Saudi state had somehow backdoor funded these guys, and they were purporting to be independent of the nation state, only they’re not, they’re firmly operating as an organisation that invests on behalf of the Saudi state.
So what are you saying. No honestly I’m meaning this literally. So we have something to worry about here or not?
So that's the end of that then ..lol..back to reality.. ****e football and a yo yo club under Ashley.
it's ****ed like... not happening and the response from keys , media , other fans and the makems will be gut wrenching...
If this is a problem then I'm sure a bit of money changing hands would solve the issue. I wouldnt dare be the bloke who puts a spanner in the works.
It probably helps matters that the Saudi's closed beoutQ last year to stop piracy. If it was ongoing there would be a read issue.
No idea, I suppose it depends on what’s in the WTO report and whether the PL chose to acknowledge it or not. It’s hardly a positive though, as a proven link means that the Saudi state have been complicit in defrauding the PL of revenue.
since the pandemic.. I'm used to not having football.. I'm not going to bother now MA is staying... using my chance to get out permanently... might start playing golf again .
Mate don’t say that! It would be genuinely gut wrenching if Ashley was still here come the start of next season, I’d genuinely lose a lot of interest in football.
