    The fact it wasn't withdrawn from the PL should tell you everything. There is no need to ponder any further

    I should presume through a court order.

    Remember when parliament summoned Mike Ashley and he just took the piss

    Maybe we should call in Richard Scudamore as negotiator for the latest crisis


    https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/clubs-turn-to-richard-scudamore-in-covid-crisis-kcxcxnmtr
    The 60-year-old has been providing clubs with advice on handling the crisis, with the biggest threats being from the financial impact of a drop in income from broadcasting and sponsorship deals.

    if I were a Scudamore and was advising clubs like that I’d tell they to back the Saudi bid as the only outcome is more money swilling around the PL in general and likely higher revenues from the next PL rights issue.

    We don't know it's a fact, but it was reported.

    If that wad confirmed I'll be confident

    Lol

    I dunno where had that info come from?

    There's strong reports that they're still in mind but only in the local press.. Nothing elsewhere.

    That's the issue.. It's reported but its a weak one if you ask me.


    If PIF did officially withdraw is have expected the premier league to just say so though.. Kills any complaints

    The Saudi thing? No, of course not. But the club should be sold to either Mauriss (lols), Palotta or A.N. Other and his US consortium.

    That’s not as clear cut as an official statement.

    I don’t want to be “reading between the lines” or “adding 2 + 2 = 5” anymore this is now past the “guessing games” or “no news is good news”.

    Unless there is anything official stated, by anyone, then I’m staying on my skeptics horse. I have been since this all started and I am sick of the cloaks and daggers.

    It’s cleansed.

    Is the deal done yet? Nope. Back to normality.

    False hope doesn’t live in my household. It’s facts and figures all the way.

    I like the fact that the petition hit its target. And also the MP letters. I like the snippets from AS and RB. So don’t get me wrong. I want it to happen.

    But I believe we will start next season in limbo still.

    Simple question.

    Why after all this wouldbt the premier league just say " we were unhappy with x y or a and were trying to offer a solution, however as reported they withdrew.."

    Why?
