Also on that list is UAE and China, all of whom own Premier League clubs. It’s not a blacklist either, it’s a watchlist where they want people to look at. It’s also been pointed out before that broadcasting issues is not going to affect our takeover. It’s no coincidence that the majority of these clickbait articles are being posted by either new members, or existing members who don’t post regularly. Keep the panic over on Twitter and Facebook where it belongs. China do not own Premier League clubs Neither will Saudi Arabia. PIF will, along with two other parties. Laugh all you want Kissarse.

What a fucking boring day.

As said above. Its Staveley who is doing the business on behalf of the Saudis. Theres no way that their holidays or workdays will have any impact.

It does make sense, but the right answer is the second one, it will only be sold and transferred to the new owner after you get your money. If you were selling your house, you wouldn't transfer ownership until you know you definitely had the cash in your (solicitor's) account. If it has been approved by PL, the delay is probably just draw down arrangements on the buy side, not the banking system (which as said above, can deal with same day transfers). If the majority of the funds are coming from PIF, there is probably a mechanism where to draw down they need to give a certain period of notice. Most funds work this way. I won't pretend to know the Saudi workings, but where you have a condition that might not be satisfied (PL approval) you wouldn't draw down the funds until you know it had been. Also, remember the completion money is probably coming from three separate parties, so will involve a little extra admin. Ah, it was the second solicitor, which I hadnt taken into account. Still doesnt explain why when I bought my house the solicitors rang me in the morning to say that the deal would be complete on that day. It wasnt as though the money had been transferred specifically for it to happen that day, or that the money had reached the vendors that day. Complicated business.

Dont type that into google.

Fuck knows man. I'm hopeful that Caulkin will hint to the PL checks being completed and I'm also hopeful that both parties might release a statement once the red button has been pressed. When buying a house, doesnt the solicitor hold the funds and transfer to the vendor? So in affect, once the contract is signed and the middle party gets the nod from the buyer. It's no longer in the buyers hands. I'm sure if I was selling, my solicitor would tell me, "its sold, you will receive your money in 2-5 days." Not, "you will receive your money in 2-5 days, then its sold." Basically, what I'm saying is, just because the money hasnt reached his account yet, doesnt mean it hasnt been sold. Does that make sense?

Imagine they'll get a sporting director. I think he means right now. There is no evidence that they have made any moves for players and managers etc. Its all speculation.

So much foreplay.

Poch has no idea what he is talking about mind.

Rafa or Poch? Couldn't give a fuck frankly, so long as they get plenty of resources. Its light years from what we are currently doing.

Does he have a wife? No way my missus would let me walk about wearing that clobber.

They’re all based off what Caulkin said last night (that he’s heard the checks will be completed today) And Caulkin is mates with them all. It only takes a phone call for them to basically run the same story. If Caulkin says today, Staveley says today (could).

Squeaky bum time.

Bye bye Mike you big fat cunt. Rot in hell.

No. I reckon when he left, he thought chances of a takeover were dead. I think he would come back if we paid his buyout, though. Would new owners pay 20m for Rafa, if they could get Pochettino for nowt? I'd like them to and its certainly a nice problem to potentially have but it depends on their thinking.

Hes clever in what he says and what he doesnt say. He wouldnt have said "could be done by Wednesday", without the absolutely best information. Obviously, like anything, stuff like this can take an extra day but I'm fairly sure that time frame will have come from the PL via Staveley.

Oh it's clear as day that hes been given heads up by Staveley. She must have been told Wednesday.

Just checked my calendar, tomorrow is Wednesday Gold star for you.

"Could be done by wednesday." Caulkin on PL checks. Which he has been told from the Staveley camp.

It's funny though, opposition fans dont rate him. Only journalists, the media and our own thick fan base who see a Geordie.

I find Wraith very Jekyll and Hyde. Sometimes he is spot on, then other times he's a complete moron. Like all of his Saudi ass-kissing.

26 years today since my first game. You better believe that today's the day.

Nice of him.
