    I know - I was one of them, partly because I think I understand Company finance. But I have realised I don’t watch football because I want to talk about money. If I want to do that I can go to the bank, if I can find one still open.

    So has Amanda Staveley caused us a big problem and a possible PL investigation?

    Rumours swirling that she has shown a reporter WhatsApps confirming that Prince mbs was directly involved in their purchase of nufc

    Yes but it may well have substance even if just causes the PL to investigate as another club could potentially complain

    Their name is all over F1,on the track etc and if they are becoming a partner to FIFA they should easily pass the "fair market value" one would think but ...

    Kiss goodbye to the takeover.... makes sense now why they didn't spend anything and everyone started jumping ship.

    Daily mail saying pl won't investigate

    The deal anyway apparently was that MBS wouldn't interfere once takeover was done not before

    No. But I do think you twist the real position. A couple of clicks and you would have come up with the point Ponytail mentions. Wonder why you didn’t.

    For what it’s worth we are in a far better place even with a diluted takeover.

    The PL and the dirty half dozen have just made sure we can’t grow fast. But we can still grow.

    The commercial deals don’t appear to be coming thick and fast I may add which is a concern of mine.

    But I think we will continue to grow organically.

    But you believed the first one and drew conclusions based on the first report.

    It was her texts.

    Ironically though that's what people do.

    No. Her texts didn’t say what you posted. That was down to you.
