Ashley will be gutted he missed out on that extra 50mil from the other bid!

Ironically had Labour been in power the deal would likely be dead and massive potential investment in our area along with it. Would made no difference

1-0 Villa

Totally agree. They could have just hid behind the national security get out clause if it wasn't for the need to placate the EPL. If they were not trying to buy NUFC they would have done fuck all

Talksport just nicked it off Craig Hopes mail article. Also its pretty obvious its going to happen

That wasn't a foul in a million years

It's no surprise. They know Bruce, he's a good lad, they don't know Rafa. I'm not saying it's as strong as xenophobia, but it's more the idea that people find it hard to shit on people they like when it comes to things like this. Same person (Danny Mills) Said could not find 20 black managers good enough to work in the PL.

Nah, Almiron is really good in this number 10 role especially. Just needs to calm down a bit in those finishing positions. Should have a great assist for the pass through to Joelinton in the first half. Class a number ten that cant score or pass espically accurately. Oh yes fast...

Almiron and Joe Linton are fucking garbage.

Why would the signs be removed before the takeover? Who would be paying for that? Not the signs, but the stuff draped over the seats like city did, if there is not shit direct draped over the seats that’s as good a sign as any He is in change if its there or not. The sale is not complete.

Why would the signs be removed before the takeover? Who would be paying for that? think it's more about if he's bothered his arse to spend more money on more adverts rather than removal of what's there - tarps draped over seats etc. Why would you not spend a few hundred pound on new banners to advertise sports direct when that advertising space is worth millions.

No its not. But I will tell you now Ashley is still in charge as the sale is not complete.

Just had to be ha Long as he gets 120min should be fine. Went for KDB captain but its a coin toss

"BeIN’s legal expert" Stopped reading there

He would never pass the owners test for a start

Whose chairman owns the fucking country. Why are people so blind to this being an issue? Do people just have their heads in the sand? There's not a chance on earth this goes through. Zero. The directors' test says anyone who might have an influence over the club has to be squeaky clean, and not "reasonably" thought to have done anything like, I dunno, be involved in piracy. Can you think of anyone who has connections to PIF who this might apply to? I've been saying this for weeks. Doesn’t fucking matter it’s about PIF being a separate legal entity. lol thats not how it works

Half time! happy to keep it tight so far. Hopefully play better in the 2nd

Chronicle saying buyers will hold their nerve despite delays....

Dont think him bricking it is the reason he is shit

To be honest not that bad a tune

That do for me bonny lad

This is another cause for concern. The WTO report carries a lot of weight and the PL's hands will be clean if they base their decision on it. I realise I'm spreading negativity like fuck today but from browsing through similar WTO reports it seems that the panel's decision will be based not solely on juridical (technological in this case) evidence but on political findings too. This is something that lacks in previous third-party analyses against beoutQ and can further incriminate Saudi officials. If there's evidence of course. The Guardian claimed that it'll contain categorical evidence of government involvement. The report will be published here: https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/dispu_e/cases_e/ds567_e.htm There's a similar report summary (understandably not very favourable to SA at all) on the trade-related aspects of the blockade here - https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/dispu_e/cases_e/ds528_e.htm Why would the buyers be waiting to see the report? They have submitted all their documents and its with the Premier League. Can't see how the report makes any difference to to BUYER at all or what they could even do. Premier League might be waiting on the report but buyer side make no sense...unless im missing something here?

Why would the buyers be waiting for it?
