    It has been agreed. The 13 clubs agreed it.

    I still think it was agreed shortly before Easter when demarco posted his brown ale and Staveleys husband dug out a historic tweet and liked it.

    They were letting us know

    I suspect the big 6 knew too so they were making their last move which was announcing the super league..

    The 13 have agreed it because of what it means for football. Massive investment into our game. The Saudis do not want a Super League.

    Sounds very much like Jacobs knows something and that Saudi guy dropping that bomb seems quite significant

    Seems that way to me as well. Ben Jacobs is normally quick to play down rumours.

    The Royal Saudi Court.

    The very body that wrote to the PL to confirm legal separation.

    If they play their cards right they could play a blinder. PL approve takeover pre arb. PIF promise to stick to the rules. We become the PL nee golden child. PIF wax lyrical and it’s hunky dorry.

    It'll still get some bad press, but this time there's a good amount of opportunity to receive some good press also

    Seems to me we're 3 games away from confirmed safety and unless Fulham get a couple of unlikely wins vs Chelsea and man united we will be getting an announcement soon

    The irony being the antics of the six will deflect. People will be more concerned by what the PL do to them.
