    No they won’t. It’s a 300m deal. To them it’s not even .5 % of their portfolio. They just walk away.

    Yes they will. Amanda Staveley will take a rejection as damage to her reputation.

    I'm sure they'd make the claim, but yeah they just walk away from the deal... too much hassle

    To people like Amanda Staveley and Reuben Brothers, being rejected as not fit and proper owners can damage their reputation. It is the PL saying that we do not believe you are competent in business and are dishonest. They can and will protect that reputation by sueing the PL.

    This might be the funniest thing I’ve seen on this thread so far. The PL make the rules. If they don’t want someone to the party they just say no. It’s that simple. It makes no odds how much money they throw at legal action it won’t change jack ****.

    But.... for laughs and giggles please point me in the direction of one just one takeover of any club in the history of mankind in any league that has been rejected and then after legal obligation been retracted and approved!

    That’s all well and good. But if there’s no pressure release or no official announcement. Which there isn’t. Then it’s all pie in the ****ing sky!

    Who is talking about retraction? I'm talking about sueing someone for damage to reputation.

    yeah I'm sure they would make claims, but we would still be stuck with Mike Ashley and it will be a nightmare... a real gut wrencher

    It was. The chinese bloke appealed and won. That is why the Southampton takeover took months

    The PL could be making sure that whichever way they go they need to be on firm ground legally.

    Approve and someone will be upset.

    Fail and they risk damaging reputations.

    Both instances require a solid legally sound approach to avoid comebacks.
