Wandy

The reason the brothers are involved is to develop the city’s infrastructure and real estate around the city. Get ready for a mega stadium taking its inspiration from NEOM, it will be the most sustainable and futuristic arena ever built, the guy I heard speak about it said it will make the Spurs stadium look 100 years old. Aye, he's a WUM alright. Munson is a total barmpot & not the full shilling, but is undoubtedly good entertainment value. It doesn't bear think about what would happen on this thread if he camped in here though.

Yes, he's confirmed this. But FFS it was still infuriating that he did that. Back to trusting nobody then.

Yeah, very true, he's not to be taken seriously. The Sheik guy seems fairly level headed though.

Whitley is definitely not Roy. Whitley is steadfastly resolute in his positivity whereas Roy tends to flip flop a lot. That's the polite way of putting it. Another way of putting it would be "bi-polar". Stay tuned to that forum because if this latest rumour turns out to be yet more bollocks you will see what I mean.

Yeah that rings a bell.

I cant remember which one it was that Mimms was getting his info from but it definitely wasnt 606. I know that as I remember making a mental note of it being a different forum to the main two that I read.

Aye, completely fair. I apologise in advance for building up hopes by linking to that board if it all turns out to be bullshit. Like I say though, I have been following that board for 12 months and the poster making the claim never comes across as a WUM.

No that was a completely different forum.

Aye he is batshit crazy, but very entertaining.

So that poster on the other forum is now saying CAT documents are being posted on Friday and that the PL's argument has been "torn to pieces".....

I'd imagine the pay-off would be getting the full £340m through the takeover being passed, together with the PL covering any losses, for example covering the cost of a reduced takeover price together with any loss of business revenue, ie deals that he had set up etc. I'd love to know where the PL would find ~£400m from. I doubt that they have insurance to cover that.

They use the "Saudi is off the piracy watchlist" line....

I hope that's a gamble he doesn't take if they offer to pass the takeover right now, tbh.

I thought the same. And De Marco's "green light' tweet, with the watch and pen on the table, kinda solidified that belief for me.

I'm sure I read somewhere that it's the test's actual rules on seperation that are being arbitrated on, rather than the actual seperation itself. Like, was the test well enough written to even ask the question. Might have interpreted that wrong though.

Basically if the three arbitrators decide that the test isnt strong enough to hold up the takeover in the way it has, then they have to pass it. And they cant make the buyers stick to new and updated rules either as it would be impossible to say whether the buyers would ever have even attempted the purchase if the new rules were in place back then. That's my understanding of it anyway.

From what I have read, arbitration is simply to deternine whether or not the O&D test is robust enough to make a judgement on seperation.

I'm saying nowt about that one. He seems to have gone as crackers with his tweets as the NUFC fans have in analysing them. It was much simpler when he was posting photos of bread.

Exactly why I posted it. And we will likely know the truth of it very soon anyway. At this late stage in the game I am clinging to anything I can. That thread is pretty much like the ones on here, full of extreme optimists/pessimists and lots of nonsense in between. They do tend to flip flop a bit though whereas the mob on here tend to stay entrenched in their positions.

https://www.not606.com/threads/takeover-covid-19-20.383026/page-2194 Can't link directly to the post but its halfway down the page. Claim was only made this morning so the debate around it hasn't really took off. I read the thread a lot though and the guy never comes across as a bullshitter.

Yeah I know. But since this is the airy fairy thread I just wanted to spread a bit of hope.

It's being claimed on another forum that the PL have failed to have the CAT thrown out. Yeah I know, but this is the thread where the sun is always shining. Poster making the claim doesnt seem the type to bullshit. His source might be, of course.

Cos of the takeover, obvs. A new era and Sky want in right from the start.
