Ashley is starting to see the value in improving the clubs image. He's trying to sell the clubs history. I suspect even he's realised it's lost the appeal it had when he bought the club
I read three pages back in the takeover thread an my ****in heads hurting. What's the craic about the saudis setting up a company?
The sticking points been the prem saying that pifs influenced or connected to the state of Saudi This company being set up could be used to eliminate that connection and MBS.. Man City did the same thing..
I hope Bush was the bad guy but I have a concern he wasnt... The Qatari influence might simply be getting shot of any resistance
Remember though... the sole job of the PL is to rake in as much money for the members as it can... right now they are losing money hand over fist and the fans lock out will hit them even harder now. Ie the KSA are surely becoming more attractive by the day...
