In the words of OMC, how bizarre.

CoronaVirus "weeks" are easily months long. TIME IS MEANINGLESS NOW.

Beautiful I'm coming same.

I'd really like to just put a pillow over the face of the "uhhh maybe he influences sheffield united owner" angle until it stops moving.

You've had 10 years to get a blue checkmark, pete. sort yourself out.

imagine being the kind of person that deliberately invites a relentlessly thick cue ball like steve wraith into their whatsapp group

Stifler's not taking it anymore

The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote.

Man at least make some magnanimous gesture out of it where both people come out having done some good. Winner donates £500 to a foodbank/charity/etc of loser's choice, loser pays double (£1k) to one of the winner's choice. Agree to that and I take the bet. edit: on the condition there's no fuckery with having to wait for a new year's account to change hands when it's technically sold in all but name etc.

As the only native Athenian, and therefore de facto gatekeeper for REM, it's Green.

sound like my lass

I'm pretty sure the lawyers of the buyers knew all of this before advising the buyers to pay a £17 million deposit. I've already pretty much stated that in my post. However, this is a pretty unique situation. FWIW of course MBS can pressure the Sheff Utd owner into doing whatever he likes....I fail to see how this wouldn't be an issue sadly. So he can also influence the management and the players? Doesn't have to, only has to be able to influence an owner. Anyway, like I've said, the papers etc don't seem to think it's an issue. It's just, looking objectively, I fail to see how he doesn't have the ability to influence another (less powerful) prince. I'm just thinking out loud really. Hopefully if it was an issue, he'd just influence the other prince to sell Sheff Utd though Well a few things about the whole theory. He's jailed other royal members he saw as threats to his power, not quite randomly as you stated. Competing against a team 80% owned by the PIF - which he chairs but as far as I can tell doesn't deal with the day to day on anyway, that's Yasir somethingorather - is not a threat to his power. As well, let's accept the PIF is doing this as a sportswashing exercise. Turning around to jail/intimidate a cousin owner of another team in the league wouldn't be very smart. Lastly, as far as I can tell he's chair of the PIF by title but it's that Yasir fella what does most of the heavy lifting. The club consumes our daily waking lives, not his. I'd stake my life MBS is in no way going to obsess as we would if we owned it. Thats all well and good, but I don't think him "obsessing" has anything to do with it. It's an owners ability to influence another owner. Can anybody please give a reply based in fact/law that can prove he does not have the ability to influence another owner. Not stating that he is unlikely to. I have the ability to jump the curb and mow down pedestrians in my car. Should I be banned from driving? It's absolutely useless, beyond pointless, to just dream up scenarios as if just because something is possible it will happen. You have to demonstrate something is likely for it to matter. No, the rules solely relate to the ability to influence another owner. Show me where the PL have to prove it is likely? The answer is they don't. They absolutely have to apply some level of certainty jesus christ Every group rich enough to own a football club has, to some extent, the ability to influence people in other clubs. There might be a pecking order, i.e. watfords owners can't exactly bully liverpool's fenway group, but that doesn't mean it's not there in other directions. Wow Comparing unrelated companies to 2 closely related members of the same royal family ffs. It's really not comparable and even you must realise that. Doesn't matter if they're related or not. PL rules don't say anything about relations. Or even what kind of influence. Just influence. Ashley could threaten to pull some team's tat from his stores in exchange for something, boom, influence. Your theory is bad and you should admit your situation. There would be more dignity in it.

#cans is clearly astroturfing by the struggling brewing industry

Eagerly awaiting tweets saying "Ashley's disappointed the story leaked and is pulling the plug, it was never a done deal." etc etc

I too will share my ejaculatory forecast with a forum of other men.

stifler 5 minutes before wading into the takeover thread
