Good choice, but I want to experience the arab money City have no fans, Newcastle are already a laughing stock and they're pretty easy to follow. Good times ahead with Pep.
It was on, then off, now it may be on or off but nobody knows - 2/3 buyers say they're in, 1 says out and the league says nowt. Theres a Geordie camping out at the EPL HQ in London, and a few petitions going around. We've re-opened the thread to try set a world record of bollocks written about a hypothetical and are making a good go of it.
Its off, Reubens want it on - had big investment plans and searching for new partner (?), I support City now, Chaos Athletico.
No, as anyone who knows anything about corporate governance would know that a State can’t be named a Director of a Ltd company.
Well at the very least they have £17m of legal fees available to chuck at the PL. Nothing gained nothing lost kind of thing.
I was about to say this. Well actually similar. In that the SA government cannot be directors. However a member of the SA government can. The PL ask a government official. High ranking and with power to be director and then as a direct result can thus fail the test.
Given the circumstances with what the PL asked and with PIF saying no the PL couldn’t fail OR pass the test. Hence the limbo situation. They had no grounds to fail it and no control to pass it? That’s just pure crazy.
You forgot to mention the bloke who works at the EPL HQ who said: "I'm from Prudhoe!" That was hilarious.
Which is one of the hang ups right? If Bin Salman is listed as the PIF head, is he chairman, if he's not are the PIF just buying it as a company, are the PIF directly owned by the state? All these links are trouble.
It’s rumoured (and that’s all it is) that the PL asked for clarification on the structure post the takeover, and who was actually going to be pulling the strings, given the head of State was also the Chairman. As they were being told their was no link between the PIF and the State, so pointing at the actual Chair and saying ‘what about him like?’ is a fair enough question I reckon.
