    It's not a good look. It depends on what report says. If it links PIF I can't see how it is anything other than bad.

    Of course, it may be meaningless in the grand scheme.

    I read it last week in a couple of news outlets but can't remember which ones.Leo saw it too so maybe he remembers?

    To paraphrase David Mitchell: If I had to remember how I know everything that I know then I would only know half as much as I know, as half my brain would be taken up knowing how I know what I know

    I suggest that people read the CNN report. It is game over.

    MBS ordered an aviation company to be seized by PIF. That aviation company supplied two jets used to carry Khasogghis assassins.

    Direct state control of PIF by MBS to facilitate criminal acts. There is no way to spin this positively. PIF are implicated.

    Would we honestly want to be associated with this anyway? I'm not sure I would.

    I know we're desperate to see the back of Ashley, but surely it can't be at any cost?

    It may well be that they knew this was coming and released those statements last week to save face and appear like it was their choice?

    Yeah if this is all true then that's the take over done for imo.

    To be honest not sure I'd want the club associated with someone who chops up people who don't agree with how he's doing things. Imagine if this was Ashley - 99.9% of the toon army would have been disappeared.

    It's not circumstantial. There is direct evidence linking PIF with assisting in Khasogghu's murder.

    A lawsuit was filed in Canada last year. That is where the evidence comes from.

    Why? There will still be a takeover at some point. It just won't have anything to do with PIF

    We can have a new thread in around 14 years time when the next buyer comes along.

    It makes you wonder if this was the real reason why the PL stopped it.

    The lawsuit was filed in Canada last year. It implicated PIF.

    Yep, close the thread....if we do ever get taken over it will happen out of the blue and we won’t spend 12 months in mental torture. Mandy needs to **** off too, either she puts up the cash or she can piss off, personally I think she’s an attention slut and enjoys the media coverage.
