Oh dear wtf has happened here. This is a ****ing mess. It's going to rumble on all season.
Time will hopefully tell but it may be that the PL haven’t officially rejected the application but the legal advice and opinion Ashley has now been given is that by refusing to make a decision then that will be deemed a rejection of the application by the PL.Seems a bit odd that they've rejected the takeover when they didn't have to unless their hand has been forced so that an appeal can be made.

I do find this part of the statement strange considering ashley is one man
"The club and its owners"
maybe PIf bought a small slice of MASH so that the legalities change. Mike is a Wiley old fox.
As I said the other day - Our shadow sponsors.
Hahahahahaha!
Fantastic!
So it’s pretty much how I thought, that the PL - by default, the big 6 - didn’t fancy the takeover and made a decision to block it. They’ve now come to the decision that they’d rather take on Ashley/KSA than piss off the cartel.
Seems like a pretty stupid decision given the situation with fans and China. But then what does anyone expect of people like Masters and Hoffman in particular? A mystifying man who gets paid millions to ****ing fail miserably everywhere he goes.
Anyway I cannot wait to see what happens next. Quite why anyone would piss on Ashley when the man is so brazenly aggressive with litigation is beyond any understanding.
