    They were here before the story broke and the media thought they were up here visiting the correct Saudi owner at Sheffield United....

    Apparently. A couple of other have homes near Rothbury. Can you believe that?

    I always forget we have these extremely wealthy people plopped all over the country in big estates.

    Like, aren't the former royal families of Germany, Yugoslavia, Austria-Hungary and Greece still all residing in Britain?

    Madness.

    Sheff United are owned by a Saudi prince, so when a royal Saudi plane arrived at Newcastle Airport and they went shooting the dumb media thought they were just visiting the Saudi owner for a day out... It was that day I posted saying Saudis were buying newcastle united

    It sounds to me like the PL wanted to reject it and looked to the Government to agree. That would then give them a watertight excuse.

    Except the Government refused meaning we are where we are now. No valid grounds.

    Helpful in that it did not antagonise the Saudis would be my guess.

    Hmmmm...

    So why if the government did nothing to intervene that could be seen in a negative way are they so concerned with the Saudis knowing what they've said?

    Seems to me they've slyed them and don't want them to know

    This was before Hoffman took over.

    At the point of these documents the takeover was going through.

    Therefore government didn't need to intervene.

    Separate what we know now and what the document tells us about then.

    Something happened between April and June 2020.

    Gary Hoffman. The same Gary Hoffman with links to Qatar and BEin Sports. The principle opponents of Saudi.

    We know they came back to the table and we're expecting it to pass that Tuesday in which Ashley later said they'd failed it.

    So it's clear the government did nothing..

    The government doesn't care its not bothered about small investment in Newcastle... Its more concerned ened with avoiding public scrutiny for intervention and losing votes.... It really is that simple

    The Government did nothing because they were not going to interfere. It is a private commercial dispute between two companies. Thst is a matter for the legal system.
