tur issue isn’t speculative it’s a matter of fact.. ie that the PL have taken ages and aren’t communicating. This is all we know.. and that PIF gave notice they were going to withdraw their bid from MA.
At this point the Premier League should simply say something along the lines of..... 'This has been a lengthy and complicated process due to the huge size of the deal. Due to Covid 19 and other reasons, blah blah blah, we were still in the process when the Saudi's pulled out of the deal for these very reasons. Therefore we do not feel the need to comment further.' I would expect a statement like that in the near future if the deal has indeed been withdrawn.
However I am of the understanding that there are many takeovers that fail that are not even made public. Have the Premier League ever had to make a statement regarding specific fit and proper tests in the past? Should they feel obliged to do so? Would this be new ground if they were forced to do so? Would the Saudi's even want the Premier League to make a statement revealing the truth? The only thing that the Premier League need to explain is the length of time it has taken. Simple answer, blame what the Saudis blamed, Covid 19. Not a good excuse, but its an excuse.
Right, let's see if this works - Richard Masters signed a letter responding to (Qatari funded, made-up supporter of terrorism) "Hatice Cengiz" within days of "her" complaint.
If the comments from Ciro Immobile don't tell you where the problem is, nothing will. I mean, does anyone want Newcastle to play Ciro Immobile alongside Maximin and Bale, under Allegri? Nah, much better to line up against Jhon Corona and Jeff Hendrick.
where the PL will come unstuck is the fact that they won’t have co silted other clubs on the Man City deal... so have actually set a precedent. This will be what Ashley and or PIF will go after, as well as restraint of trade, loss of revenue etc... If I were PL I’d put the word out that it will be passed if they reinstate the bid.. and then say they spent ages deliberating etc but as per the current tests had to pass it.. but will overhaul the rest for the future.
You mean the fiancé of the journo who was chopped into chunks by the henchmen of MBS? The woman who Newcastle fans then trolled on Twitter for her having the temerity of bringing up the issue with the PL, ****ing hell.
The PL are out of options. The only recourse as I see it is to pass it, if it still exists, because they have to do one or the other and the MP's are banding together (there's more than 40, it's not a small number) to challenge it in parliament. Fail it they face at least 2 legal challenges (which they'd lose). Pass it and they have some disgruntled teams and may accelerate a breakaway (which will happen eventually anyway).
Nope, I mean the fabricated character who was utterly unknown to Khashoggi's family and who has clear, proven ties to Hezbollah. The same person who didn't have much to say about her "fiancee", but who had a speech prepared relating to KSA ownership of NUFC on Good Morning Britain. The same person who has ONE photo of herself and Khashoggi, which is photoshopped. She's The Mandarin.
You mean a completely fabricated smear campaign that the Saudis attempted and has been debunked, that you’ve decided to post as if it’s actually factual as it suits your agenda? https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ishmaeldaro/saudi-media-jamal-khashoggi-conspiracy-theories You’ve officially scraped the bottom of the barrel with this.
The moment the Saudi's officially stated that they had pulled out of the bid and gave their reasons (bullshit) then they cant sue the Premier League surely? The Premier League can just give the same reasons for the delay. If the Saudis come back to the table, and Covid 19 and its financial implications are a distant memory, then the Premier League will **** themselves. The sooner the better, before the Premier League changes its fit and proper rules. I would be surprised if it went to court mind. Neither the Premier League or the Saudis would want their dirty laundry aired to the public.
To be brutally honest, I couldn't care less about her. If the choice is between her hurty feelings and a Billion quid of potential investment in my club, well.. I think everyone knows in their hearts which one they would choose.. And 99% of fans would choose the same as me.. I'll go for the despotic, murdering, Billionaire bastards everytime.
And now they're in checkmate None of these fans opposing the takeover give a **** about all that either... Well a few might have been fighting for human rights before this takeover came about, but the vast majority are taking ****e
