So Qatar Airlines have been pirating music and in other Qatari news, back in April they murdered a Journalist in prison. Also being accused of knowingly funding terrorists and bribing people in attempts to cover it up.

According to Caulkin they’ve had an answer for everything so far, and so far it hasn’t been rejected. They’ve gone through all that just to fuck it up at the final hurdle and stop their country from viewing their new team. Ok, then. Didn't Caulkin also say the decision to block Bein from broadcasting in KSA wasn't something PIF were asking for or aware of? People making these decisions are the same who thought it was a smart idea to chop a journalist to pieces in an embassy. So let's not give them too much credit... No he didn’t. He said the uk side weren’t aware. Can’t remember members of pif giving the green light on the assassination. Which branch of pif is that in? I'm talking about the decision to block Bein. I dont think PIF was involved in that? Well that's the trillion dollar question, and where do we separate PIF, KSA & MBS in all this. If we say they didn't then you can't say we're about to be taken over by a murderer. If you say they did then all those parties are really one party. Which is it? (or is there grey area and what the PL are exploring)

As a not so know all, they wouldn't have known a country was going to pull out as Saudi Arabia have know, when they bought those rights. I bow to your superior knowledge in these things, just putting a suggestion out there. Pull out of what? Pull out of a deal made between Bein and PL? How? Someone earlier said Saudi Arabia had pulled of the Mena deal, no real idea if that was true but it was part of the nonsense conversation we were all having. Mena deal? Isn't that just an acronym for Middle East and North Africa? Are they joining Europe or South America? No idea, told you earlier I'm just one of the not so know alls, just discussing nonsense. You know more than me, read a back a couple of pages, the discussion and suggestions are there. We have to move our island 200miles away from France when we leave the EU. We’ve also been booted out of the Euro’s, European club competition and most sadly, Eurovision Song Contest. Christ. MENA isnt an union, it's a region. It was you who joking asked if it was moving to Europe, I responded in kind. In this context, does it matter? We’re not moving land, it’s still part of the mena region, just like the uk will Still be part of Europe even though we’ve left it as a union. KSA could look to leave mena in all legal terms, but still sits in it as a region, and Remember this is just a tv deal which hoyed in all these countries to sell rights for ease, it’s not on the level of brexit. The eu (union) talks to mena (region) on the same level legally, and considering many mena countries have cut ties with Qatar there’s a lot going on that We can only speculate, but that brings me back to my only point on this, these lot aren’t stupid and streets ahead of anyone on here, on twitter, in the press and so far paid by Qatar.

I agree with that last sentence entirely. Some people on here seem to forget the proven business calibre of all the people who are buying the club. The Reubens, PIF, Stavely, are ALL very good at what they do, very good indeed. I think many seem to forget this, I suppose this is after 13 years of us being owned by a disinterested 'chancer' who just got lucky in the past in business. Our new owners are very, very, different !!! Aye, it’s not Ashley and his mates that we’re used to, it’s a legal team larger than our playing squad. They’ve got something planned, it’s not been done by accident or in spite. Whatever it is, it trumps the opinion of the naysayers on here and this is something they’ll have to get used to.

KSA Via pif are going to own a football club with their population buzzing to see it play and They’ve decided to make sure there is no Legal way of doing so Next season so piracy Is the only way to do so and said piracy issues were the reason it was held up and ran the risk of being cancelled. That’s what people are saying, isn’t it? Imagine thinking they are that stupid. :lol:

This isn't based on nowt. There's legal precedent. Don't be so dismissive... https://gulfbusiness.com/asian-football-body-afc-cancels-bein-sports-broadcast-rights-saudi/ Ooh check you out with facts. It’ll be suitably ignored mind.

That was a terrible tackle. No idea why its gone to VAR. Channelling his inner Dhalsim

'You fucking winding me up?"

Hull, Barnsley and someone out of Luton, Wigan (disgrace) or Charlton means getting out of L1 will be tough next year. You’d expect Ipswich to take a better swing at it as well.

They are trying to suggest money has been transferred and MA is paying the taxes on the sale right now. It's pretty imaginative. Even researched the postcode and room for the dept it would happen in.

This.

Didn't Ashley do the same?

They really should have just done it my way and have the uk parties buy the club and sell the 80% stake at a later date to pif.

I imagine they're not in that camp anymore. Yeah I was personally in the camp, but wasn't looking to bring anyone in, in fact the opposite. Someone said earlier they can't imagine what approved looks like. I'm there. After all this it seems like imagining dragons riding the skies and unicorns grazing in the back garden.

It's funny how its taken twitter all of 20mins to find Qatar links to almost every single person on that list.

I heard something similar last Sunday night that It’s done, poch has agreed terms and that they got 3-4 targets agreed in principal. They said this week though, it’s why I’ve been quite excited all week and keys comments and bein ban have done nothing to make me think otherwise. I did ask why and who is waiting and got no answer, only an assumption that they wanted a few things lined up and come in with a bang. It sounded plausible, but it all just seemed to good to be true so haven’t said owt. I’m only saying this now as I think it might be the same rumour going round, and it’s probably got no substance, just good guess work and hedging it on timings.

Looks like all parties knew it was coming. Little face saving whinge from Bein immediately after it was announced by ksa, then nothing for days. According to Caulkin and Douglas the buyers didn't know a thing about it. The buyers could be telling little porkies mind. Probably or if not it will only be the UK side of the buyers who didn't know He did say UK side didn't know. Tbh, it's all games now, you. Can't trust anyone.

Forrins (not forrin)

Nobody gave a shit as Rafa had left and takeover had fizzled out. Back in jan/Feb time a lot questioned the link then.

Ok its 0-1 now

Still 0-0 here.
