Absolute and utter grade A bullshit from the only man worse than puke Edwards. The whole article is only valid if stood up beside Mansour, which is utterly ignored. A transparent attempt to cover the PL corruption up.
There are some valid points but biased beyond belief. Breaking it all down they are basically trying to say that by PIF not saying who was in charge that it should go to arbitration!!! Which would basically lead to piracy breaches being stamped on the “owner” and thus fail the test. That’s a no win situation for PIF. Especially when they are saying that the Saudi government would NOT have control.
surely it’s about PIF giving assurances and that’s it. The burden of proof will then be ok PL to prove the club wouldn’t be state owned.
Precisely but because the pl are self regulating and ultimately - again - corrupt, they won’t be held to account so stick to their bullshit rules and use bought arsewipes like Hardy to push their “honest, gov, t’ain’t our fault” agenda. The same man who brought us exclusive Ashley interviews tells you everything you need to know about the integrity of this.
so we are back to the PL having no proof or grounds to fail. They are therefore the whole reason. If they have the undertaking from PIF there arses are covered surely. But no... with zero proof they ‘don’t believe’ the KSA.
