Of course they would. I could imagine that this takeover has an element of Yes Prime Minister about it.
Either way they should ****ing get on with it. If it passes, great. If it fails, there better be a good reason and it better ****ing not be about piracy. If they fail it because of Qatari blackmail, I'm done with football.
Whatever happens, we will probably never know the real politics that went on behind closed doors, how close it got to passing or how close it got to failing and the reasons for the eventual outcome. If it doesnt happen I'd expect the official announcement would be along the lines of 'Saudi's pull out' and we will never know why.
