"The World Trade Organisation has ruled that Saudi Arabia was behind a pirate satellite TV and streaming service that illegally broadcast sporting events" But they haven't though, have they? They've established that Saudi Arabia didn't do enough to stop it, not that SA was behind the illegal broadcasts. The same people would be complaining if the Saudis had caught those behind beoutQ and chopped their arms off (or whatever they do to pirates over there). Can't win. but the premier league wouldn't give half a shit and would have rubber stamped the takeover months ago You don’t want this takeover to go through do you, now you’re straw clutching. quite frankly I would rather almost anyone else be trying to buy the club preferably someone without one of the worst human rights records in the world So would I, but they're not are they. We can only make personal decisions about the level of support we offer the club moving forward. Some fans may walk away completely, which would be sad, but on the other hand a number who left under Ashley may come back.

Yeah, doesn't actually say that does it Luke. Nice try.

"But piracy in a world where its rampant and the main opposition to it in this takeover's case is KSA's biggest rival smells like pure trash to me" "I hope PIF focus all their efforts at building a team to beat PSG in Europe" You literally wrote those sentences, I wasn't inferring anything Which still has nothing to do with "supporting Saudi Arabia in their battle against Qatar" So what is the PSG comment about then? Clearly a Saudi vs. Qatar reference From a football point of view yeah. Anything else and you're doing exactly what he's saying you're doing, putting words in his mouth.

Toontastic's takeover of NO ?

Harland?

I don't think Joelinton can play (football). The beauty of football being put on hold is I didn't have to read shit patter from you.

I'm now firmly behind the "this isn't happening" movement.

Yiiiiipppppiiiiieeee.

Who on here isnt in favour of the takeover? Wullie the Saudi hater init

She scares the life out of me

If the takeover falls through Bruce is here forever.

Don't go there! You know full well Bruce is gonna use that line.

Gotta happen on this page, right?

Fly keepers

James mate, you need to stop this obsession with over-the-top hypothetical scenarios. They're not doing you or anyone else any favours.

I'm at the point now that the last 3-4 weeks have been so shit that my outlook is as negative as it ever has been. I really couldn't care less if this happens or not. I'm sure that'll change when I work out how to be more positive again, but the only interest I've even got in football these days is this place.

You'd think Ashley would just offer him what he wants if it's not gonna be his problem in a few weeks. One last eight-year contract? Exactly.

I don't think they were.

Yeah I don't really get why people rate him so highly either, but I guess under the current regime, giving away homegrown talent isn't really sensible. He's a Watford type player, never going to be part of the big 6.

Noooo don't sign Sancho. I'll have to hate him :-( It's unlikely to be this summer given the financial repercussions of COVID-19, plus the uncertainty of CL qualification. €120m is the price. RW is and has been the top priority for a while. We're quite weak there at the moment. At least you won't be signing Foden. Maybe we'll step in for Sancho yet
