It's a classic distraction technique. While the EPL are looking at their defence for this 'fan' case, Ashley and Co will ride in behind and hit them with the real hammer blow.
Just listened to Liam kennedy talking live on nufc matters and this is just a glimpse of what's going on in the background
Personally I believe it's going to come down to what the situation is when the premier league yield and whether pif want to go ahead.
Personally I think it's either a yes, a no, or a maybe. There may be other options, but those 3 are most likely.
Putting my business head on. The deal is probably still attractive for PIF given the current circumstances. Provided we are still in the PL. The opportunities for them to advertise and build the club is real. But, the risk is with every game that goes by and the reality of us being sucked in the relegation battle (inevitable I think) that if it goes past December it becomes less of a proposition. Ive said since day one that to them 300m is nothing. But the holy grail for them is that we HAVE to be in the PL.
