    Yeah see it's a bit vague

    That select committee took place the following the day in which the secretary of state Oliver Dowden was quizzed on the takeover - and seemingly shared a view that the PIF and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman are separate entities.

    With an easier chance at winning arbitration, so I think that safety will more or less give us the takeover.

    Don't think it'll get as far as arbitration now.

    Safety means takeover hence all the fishy var decisions

    It’s like this, NDM is clearly an incredibly intelligent man his subtle hints via tweets all along were not just a coincidence, he has been keeping us informed discreetly all along......him drinking a Newcie was just a blatant “I’ve done my job, the rest is down to the club staying up”

    If these events happened between last April and June and the premier league knew and where involved. Then what was there game plan? Hope that PIF walked away? And they didn’t expect a legal arbitration challenge?

    The email transcripts where not in the public domain but some very important personnel knew as they where involved. Sure there is some negligence going on?

    Im still unsure how this revelation has any impact on things as it happened ages ago?

    The premier league couldn't fail it, so they sat around a table with their lawyers and said "how long can we drag it out?" thee put up a brick wall in the hope they'd not bother or just go away.

    That is just plain negligent.

    And totally open to legal challenge.

    The PL should this be held accountable.

    Not really they'll just argue they were protecting the rights to their product.

    If an agreement is made that's that end of complaint

    Basically, they've made a pigs ear of making the decision. If NDM wants to argue that they didn't apply the test correctly, he has evidence.

    We are safe by end of April.
    Jose Mourinho loses cup and is sacked.
    Takeover happens just before last game.
    Bruce is booted out.
    Mourinho is offered job soon after.
    He accepts and off we go as the most hated team in English football.<cheers>

    After that I can't tell you what happens.
    I can't see that far into the future. <laugh>
