It might be But let's say the EPL wanted to enforce a breach of such a binding. We all know they'd run for cover as soon as possible rather than go to court.
Every man shall have the right to justice.... Apart from those who have less money than the ones they accuse.
There is imo a lot of truth in the illegal streaming comments. It was the first step to the takeover being allowed to go through. What is laughable though is the big 6 blocking it!
Saudis can stay for all I care. Much like Man City, If they continue then Newcastle will have a cloud over them which will mean they are nothing short of continuously cheating. Which I would find quite amusing. 'We've won the FA Cup!' 'Aye through cheating.' 'We've won the Champions League.' 'Cheating!'
As the legal attempt to say he wasn't subject to US Law failed then won't NUFC just say that the US lawyers were mistaken or wrongly advised and that Yasir Al-Rumayyan wasn't a minister of the Saudi government? Then it will be up to the PL to prove otherwise.
Thing is, everyone knows it's all a charade. Boris Johnson was involved so people will just assume it was all corrupt. No need for proof tbh, it couldn't be clearer. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...r-league-newcastle?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other "You can imagine Richard Masters' surprise when last week, in a legal dispute between golf’s PGA Tour and its Saudi-backed sportswashing counterpart the LIV Tour, PIF argued in a US court that it deserved sovereign immunity because – drum roll – it is indistinguishable from the Saudi state."
Sorry if I've been whooshed, but you do know that's a joke that keeps getting repeated? They did have a minority share in Disney but sold it a few years ago.
It's their stock answer when they are stuck for words. I know they had a 9% share and sold it, but they don't seem to
The difference is that when I watch a Disney film at the flicks I wouldn't dream of celebrating the fact by gloating, singing Let It Go, and turn up dressed like Donald Duck.
The UK government will always make sure the Saudi's are at Newcastle as long as they want to be. It would be bad for business, otherwise.
It is a different thing anyway. A PIF exists to make money by diversifying a country's wealth into various assets elsewhere. Disney was one, with the intention of making money from it. Investing in football is nothing to do with making money, it is to manage their appearance, hence the now admitted - and always obvious fact - that fhe PIF is effectively the state. No one would ever assume that the Norwegian PIF , which by the way is the biggest in the world, is not doing it's thing directly at the behest of the Norwegian government.
Sunderland fans at Trafalgar Square in 1973 Hang on a cotton picking minute . . . . didn't The Skunks invent this idea last week
This is shocking news. I, for one, would never have predicted that the Saudi Government had direct involvement in Newcastle.
What next, the Premier league weren't exactly above board in allowing the takeover to go through? I don't think I could handle such a shock?
