    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.

    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.

    Well imo none.

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

    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.

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

    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.
