He doesnt. But he's just repeating what Caulkin said. Might take a week still.

Not sure if Caulkin, but heard could take a few days for money to be transferred. I hope we hear some official confirmation about the PL approval this week, to settle my uncertainty. On the podcast he said there will be a deadline for the money to be transfered and his understanding was that companies generally tend to finish it near the end of that deadline. So worst case we wont hear anything for a week. Hope not!

Caulkin also said after PL approval we might be "another week or couple days away"

I don't think the money needs to be transferred for it to be announced. Maybe not, but we were told that the Saudis dont want to announce anything until it's 100% complete so probably includes transfer of funds. Once the Premier League approves it they can't back out and if the funds didn't arrive Mike Ashley would be able to sue them for breach of contract. It's not like buying a house. Yes. Doesn't make it complete though which is what I was talking about.

How can you look at that site and not be sure if its official or not

Seriously what the f*** is wrong with you? I don't really care about some women I've never met and never will, whats wrong with you? Yeah I got that. The part that says there's something wrong with you is your need to shout about how much of an asshole you are.

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you?

Caulkin has been saying the same for at least a week.

And who exactly is that dude?

Same. If given the choice I'd personally much prefer someone else with a lot less money but I think a lot of people have already started dreaming about being the richest club on earth and can't turn around.

Fuck me

That sounds like a great idea.

So have we now we moved to Amnesty/human rights just being ”another side of the story” If this is taste of whats to come it might be better if this didnt happen.

extremely tedious and stupid No it's not, it's fair. he’s congratulating the team and its manager on winning the league ffs. And it’s a comically-poor attempt at a gotcha! moment. Wait so he's separating the football side of things from the ownership? Is that what you're saying? I know you’re just being stupid on purpose but there might be a slight difference in congratulating a friend who is employed by shitheads and a club currently being bought by shitheads. But im sure you knew that.

Newcastle fans and Saudi trolls fighting side by side against fiancee of a murder victim and human rights. What a time to be alive. (summary of todays Twitter)

Two weeks to go!

Wait what? Amnesty didnt say a word about how Ashley did poorly for Newcastle? This is shocking. Why do they all hate us?

They have a good point regards the test like. The Sheffield United owner will have to do exactly as he's told if he wants to keep his fortunes

Considering the difficult times all clubs are facing you really need to be a rich Saudi to even consider buying one now.

You really haven't paid attention to the news in the last couple years?

Said every football fan ever existed.

Reject the opportunity to have a new potential superstar team leading to more money money money. Doubt it. In normal times? No. At the moment? Yes. I'd argue that with the financial situation a lot of clubs will be facing now they want a new club capable of investing more than ever.
