Takeover (Covid-19/20)

[Sheikh_of_Araby]

I don’t see them doing it if I am honest. They would have to be water tight to do so. But with the football season ending this gives us something else to look forward to.

I hope someone does sue them top open up the PL's confidential processes.

That statement from Staveley looks to me like the Saudi’s have pulled the deal to break open the NDA and force the PL to be held accountable for the deal not going through. There had to be a breaking point and Mike Ashley’s Lawyers could have a field day with the PL.

I get the feeling this isn’t the end of this one. We must get to 2000 pages.

Ashley has been very quiet and surprised with him, he's well able to mix it.

No corruption here.

You put your corrupt foot in. Corrupt foot out. Do a deal. Become a millionaire and shake your wad about.

You stop the geordies takeover and you turn a blind eye. That’s what they are all about.

anyone who hides behind confidentiality has something to hide

And I know it’s nowt to do with our takeover I’m just saying football in general is corrupt as ****.

PIF/PCP felt it would never be ratified by the PL and have pulled the plug as a result. They’re not happy with the Premier League and their dealings from the start

Staveley tells me consortium had answered all Premier League's questions but could still not secure approval. Sources say Liverpool + Spurs among clubs opposing the takeover.


.

Quelle Surprise the rancid bindippers have tried to reject it, furlough their own staff in the year of their Championship when the whole club should be celebrating and after their biggest turnover ever, then backtrack like rats when it was pummelled by the public.

Horrible little club, I feel bad for you guys.

 

[Tobes]

Spot on.

The PL are going to be sued.

On what basis?

 

[Prince Isak (GG)]

On what basis?

Well imo none.

But some would say that the top prem clubs saying they should reject it is kind of erm “influencing things”

 

[Prince Isak (GG)]

On what basis?

Who do you support tobes?

 

[Sheikh_of_Araby]

On what basis?

You tell me. There will be a lawyer somewhere that fancies a case.

 

[Tobes]

Who do you support tobes?

Everton mate.

 

[Tel (they/them)]

On what basis?

Collusion with external stakeholders would be my guess. I doubt it would be hard to prove, BeIn seemed to have an inside track throughout the process.

FTFY

The Saudis have lobbed it, the PL were still considering it. I don’t see on what possible grounds they could lay a glove on them tbh. Unless I’m missing something here.

 

[Prince Isak (GG)]

Everton mate.

What’s it like to have a rich owner who gives a **** about your club?

 

[Fox Mulder]

They did give up lol

BeIN are a commercial partner of the PL.Their input would be expected in the context of this saga.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Am I still seeing some spin on them pulling out.

Jesus.

It's over

I think it's more likely that Ashley would pursue it. He's lost a potential 283 million.

If the top clubs have influenced their decision or leaned on them to block it. Surely that’s against the spirit of competition.

It’s been no better than being skint so far mate tbh, as we’ve pissed a fortune down the grid.
