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.

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.

Downgrade on what? We don't have a left back in the club, unless you count Ritchie and Dummett who are not left backs. The amount of money that has been circulating around a permanent deal is ridiculous though. What’s Dummett then if not a left back? Left-footed centre back utilised on the left side because Mike Ashley didn't want to spend money. He is solid in the back, but offers nothing of the required for a position of a modern left back. He's not a centre back, not be a long stretch. He's a defensive left back, but still a left back.

PL just giving everyone else a head start. Well if rumours are true then it'll be us that sparks the transfer market in to life. Bet there are a few teams praying for our newly found money.

This has already happened with Asian football rights. Bein was found guilty of selling unsuitable packages, breaking the contract and lost the rights to those regions, inc KSA. Same is happening with PL. They only lost the rights in KSA. Same deal applied everywhere else, but they didn't come to a new deal. https://www.arabianbusiness.com/media/429927-asian-football-confederation-pitches-broadcast-rights-for-the-uae They broadcast directly from Asia now as agreed by their leagues, cut out the middle man (bein)

2021. Also WTO report recognised the countries were effectively at war and normal rules did not apply. This now give the PL backing to do the same and split the region. It seems many other countries want to follow suit, seems BeIn and Qatar have pissed a lot of people off over the years.

Gout, mate.

:lol: :lol:

I’m 90% certain keys knew of all this and is right with end of the week.

I think it’s a safe bet they didn’t consider regional structure when they included Qatar and Saudi in same rights package to begin with. I don’t believe that at all. Countries split up and merge occasionally as well as get into diplomatic or actual war. There must be articles in such a contract that deal with such potential events. The WTO report recognised Saudi was effectively at war with Qatar therefore KSA had every right to not recognise their legal claims. If WTO agree this, the the PL should also see that these 2 countries are at war and they should split the rights to stop any further clashes.

1 full season left, bidding will start soon.
