He said earlier he doesn’t think the Saudis want to announce anything till transfer of funds is complete, so even if he did know he would surely not be allowed to say.

That’s a summary of the Q and A from dinner time and things have obviously supposedly developed since then.

Bets we are still in the exact same position this time next week ?

Any reason why he would know ?

Fwiw Caulkin tweeted earlier today that he thinks the Saudis want to wait till transfer of money before any announcement, so even if it has been given approval today ( or is very close), then he will surely not be allowed to tell us.

Genuine question would Greg actually be more likely to know something ? I don’t know who believe anymore ?

Tease.

Nah he's always said it's with the premier league. Hesspoken about timelines but that's what he's been told. If he's been told the tests are passed nothing had stop the deal or hold it up. Maybe he'd have rejected John Richardson's tweet as well? I think he would have yeah, maybe something like that’s not what he is hearing.

Caulkin has been hinting at this on Twitter all day to be fair, however we have been told it’s imminent before.

I’m probably reading to much into Caulkins tweets today, however he seems to have a more positive tone on these checks being completed than at any stage recently. I’m probably just desperate and reading to much into it like.

Don’t think they will, they responded to her first letter, I can’t see them responding again.

Agreed, definitely tomorrow. Next week now.

It’s half ten tonight now, it must be big.

Next week.

Yeah arguably the worst accounts on there 2 of them ?

Just had a look and good decision to lock it tbh. Should have been done weeks ago.

Link ?

Checks still ongoing according to Caulkin.

Premier league must have lost all the information they had on this takeover and have stopped working on it.

I saw Caulkins tweet about how they have no manager lined up and others saying we don’t have a shortlist, surely they have some clue as to who they want because if this goes through, assuming they restart the league mid June, by the time that finishes we are looking at a short pre season and turnaround to the new one beginning. Basically they don’t really have a lot of time if this gets confirmed to get the appointments they supposedly want in such as DOF and manager and signings in time for next season.
