I don’t know if we do. I’ve been staying away from this thread but I can’t now as..... Ruebens and Staveley do the deal. No baggage. PL pass it as there is literally NO reason to not. PIF don’t need to be involved in the ownership. They just invest via sponsorship with exclusive deals with the club! Everyone’s a winner. Even the PL as they don’t have a complex problem to sort out. I think this could happen.
It appears we're being encouraged to press fwd.. I can't think why they'd release that statement otherwise.. They could easily have gone to the premier league directly or to PIF
I think they want assurances from PIF that would be happy with that arrangement. Reubens want the deal. Staveley does.
I need something from PIF before I believe there's a chance again like. But I do think they might well have given the nod... Otherwise I fail to see why the reubans would come out so publicly.... If they were appealing to PIF they wouldnt via sky sport news surely?
It's also not of course a quote from the reubans brothers themselves.. I think it still highly unlikely
