SUPERTOON

I’ve had doubts for a couple of weeks just based on how long it is taking, despite everyone saying it’s down to project restart and covid-19, I still feel it should have been done 7 weeks in.

It’s definitely time to be concerned if that is the case.

Basically he's saying that the PL could scupper the deal if they feel that the buyers haven't provided full or misleading information, that is a get out clause of sorts. Can't imagine that would be the case when you consider the calibre of the parties involved in the takeover. Just seems another justification for the PL to sit on it a bit longer. Technically they aren’t even sitting on it longer, not that we know have because they have had this information since the 11th of may.

Think we would have heard for definite by now if that was the case.

Supposedly easier in the championship.

Wouldn’t be concerned about that, Saudi lawyers would tear it apart.

I mean this piracy issue has been a pretty big deal hasn’t it for a while, I would be surprised if anyone is finding new information on it.

So we have to wait for that report ?

Especially now with the financial mess of football

The Southampton owner managed to fail and then pass the test in the time it’s taken for us to get to this stage ?

I don’t see why there would be since the league has had it for a couple of weeks. That’s the key thing, either the journalists who wrote it got further info saying it could block the takeover yesterday, or he say on it for 2 weeks to create a story out of nothing. Thats my impression as well. No journalist seems to be even picking up on the fact they league have had it for 2 weeks either.

But they have had the report for 2 weeks and as recent as Friday they said no red flags.

Realistically how much longer can this go on for ? There surely has to be a cut off point.

None of the journalists seem to be making any comment on the fact they have had these documents since may 11th, this seems pretty important surely.

Both

That hasn’t copied properly but that is his response to Burts tweet.

The guy who wrote the article...

Hard to understand how something they have had for 2 weeks is now only going to delay it and possible cause it to be rejected.

That's two responses from him and Richardson who both said this and have backtracked a bit. Caulkin to complete the Hat-trick?

He literally said checks where complete on Friday.

That was recorded before this broke True, but surely if they’ve had these documents for 2 weeks AS and co will be well aware and therefore GC will be too. You would certainly hope so Yeah they will be I just mean he won’t have commented on these new articles from tonight
