    The Piracy lift is massive and the timing is very con-incidental. Almost perfect in fact.

    The plane thing I’m not so certain about with everyone at a meeting when it’s not required at a certain St James Park.

    However let me suggest that given the 19 months of hell and if a deal had or was being negotiated. It is plausible that they as a team and together would do it at the same venue.

    I don't see what the problem is now? Surely that's the key

    However. The piracy lift causes mr a concern. Let me explain.

    The piracy can only be lifted by the KSA government.

    This facilitates the lifting of the issue surrounding the takeover and separation being an issue.

    And yet we claim that they are legally separated. Hmm.

    So on one hand the piracy is lifted. And it directly affects the takeover. But we say they are separate?

    The wanted to link it to the state, so they could the fail it under the piracy complaint.

    Surely now seperation is irrelevant

    A football club can not be state owned, can it?

    If bein sports is allowed back in Saudi, then it benefits both the PL as a product and bein as a broadcaster to allow the takeover.

    So it seems that the last 18 months could have all been avoided if somebody sitting in a dark and dingy room, within the bowels of some Saudi broadcasting building, had remembered to press the off switch?

    It is. But then it isn’t. Or is it?

    The separation argument still stands. It’s just the consequences of it that do not.

    So the PL name the KSA, specifically MBS, as a director. They can’t now use piracy as a reason to block it. But (and I may be wrong here) the head of state MBS is not allowed to be a named director.

    And proving separation is weakened if we link the Bein ban lift (KSA) to our expected hurrah of the takeover happening as a direct result.

    Why was the ban lifted (by KSA)? Erm to allow the takeover to go ahead by PIF (not KSA we claim). Ah ok. So one and the same then!

    The is the win imo.

    They've forced the premier league I to a corner and one last line of defence and then pulled the rug out
