    American billionaire who has offered to buy Newcastle. Plus now the deadline has passed on the Saudi's exclusivity there's no reason to not take his offer. Only difference if whether you're the plaything to distract attention away from a brutal dictatorship (like Man City), or the investment of a financial expert (like Liverpool).

    I'm sure he's sound, I used to think @Tobes was a horrible prick, but he's sound too.

    But being sound doesn't mean he isn't a clueless troll on a wind up tbf <laugh>

    I think these boards are hilarious personally.. it's getting used to people without face thats difficult.. hard to read and it's easy to misinterpret eachother and get ott ... I struggled with that for years and still do now occasionally..

    @astro

    I suspect right now you're scouring Google for information on mauriss that I along with at least 52 thousand people know doesn't exist .

    Mauriss is a billionaire tho I think.

    He owned a credit card company in the states and it moved billions of dollars, his new TV company apparently does business all over the states. He's probably in the billions category.

    Dan Roan ffs. The Saudis used a valid national security defence recognised legally by the WTO. BEin has broken middle eastern competition law rules and had judgement passed against them in Egyptian, Saudi and Dubai courts.

    Imo, if we are going to miss the entire window waiting on the PIF I say take the cash from Mauriss and just get it over with. We need to sign a few players and get comeptitive.

    If this drags on much longer I think we will be looking at guaranteed relegation next season.

    You are about 10pages behind.

    That’s about the one thing that article doesn’t say.

    it's never been anything with a named source just 'sources'

    early yesterday ' sources' said it's going through , but anything positive is ignored by the BBC. The BBC even posted something keys said ffs then realised they'd got too excited and couldn't wait to say it's off.. this is the same **** .

    "The potential takeover has been complicated by television piracy issues and alleged human right abuses."

    "TV piracy in Saudi Arabia is a huge problem for the Premier League to contend with, especially as it has previously complained about it."

    "The World Trade Organization said there had been an infringement of intellectual property rights via the illegal beoutQ service, but in an apparent response to that ruling, Saudi Arabia then barred beIN Sports from operating."

    "Its service is the only legal way of watching Premier League football in the country. Saudi Arabia has always denied aiding the beoutQ operation and has insisted there is no link between its government and the alleged piracy."

    That doesn't say it messed with the takeover, it is simply repeating the mud slinging that is happening between BeIN and the Saudi government. It doesn't even say it complicated the takeover process, but instead made the situation complicated.

    The only thing that has been confirmed as holding up the takeover is the lack of clarity regarding who will run the football club.

    As said, you're 10 pages behind. You clueless troll.
