reality gonna hit home like a fucking sledgehammer on sunday when steve bacon leads the lads out

pls make a decision this week and announce it, just get it the fuck done either way

I'd take him. must already have a deal agreed seeing as he's fucked bournemouth off

I think we all know the answer to that... not sure, they're selling em cheap at SD near me though

wonder who he's agreed to sign with then imma guess wolves or everton

would depend what the contract says about a knockback presumably

incredible brewceys take must not have made the final cut i guess

should be in the bruce thread, exhibit one for how fucking awful he is

this proper stinks of bishop - ashley getting itchy waiting for his cash has asked the bish to work his magic and he's come up with this bollocks

LFC fans would agree, i'm sure

Seems pretty simple to me; there's enough leeway in the report for the PL to either approve or reject this takeover. The unknown factor is how much the PL want to keep Qatar on side vs a potentially rich new club to add to the brand. None of us know this, neither do the journalists. That's about it for me.

been saying this for ages if anything this helps them say to qatar "there's no smoking gun lads, soz"

they'll not make a decision until the league restarts and gets into full swing now imo, perfect distration either way

erm, really

ah well aye

I've literally quoted the test from the PL's website and highlighted the relevant bits. You have your head so far in the sand it's hilarious, though I understand why as I we all want this to go through but so many have lost the ability to think critically and objectively over this. I'm not willing to spend my day going in circular arguments so I'll just say as I've said to others when I've reached this point: Time will tell, and I hope for the sake of this club and my own enjoyment that I'm wrong. I'll be delighted to be wrong, genuinely, but I maintain my stance which I've had since this first all started. i get everything you've said below and not arguing with you but checking - is your contention they'll knock it back on the grounds KSA (and by extension MBS/PiF) "didn't do enough" to stop piracy? which is what the report is to determine had the report been to determine who was behind the piracy i could see it, but seems more of a stretch with what the report is actually supposed to judge on

that BBC thing reads like he's asked a WTO gadgee what they think of the takeover being approved in light of what's in the report to me, rather than what's actually in it

Nobody can answer this. Maybe they did an updated foreword or executive summary recently? actually thinking about this more aren't the PL involved as the intellectual property rights qatar are booting off over are heavily involving the PL, highly likely they'd be involved in the investigation as it's their product that's being stolen who was it posted the link to the WTO page with the report the other day, sure the PL was mentioned there the question of how something that cropped up 2 months ago and is supposedly confidential has been crowbarred in is a different one though EDIT: https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/dispu_e/cases_e/ds567_e.htm it's here and PL not mentioned in the headlines actually

why the fuck would the WTO report specifically reference the "confidential" takeover when it has absolutely fuck all to do with the initial claims?

cool badge that mind

yeah i don't see why the report would be a fait accompli considering it's relating to things that took place in the past and the piracy it's directly related to has been shut down (afaik) some vague commitments to tackle piracy should surely cover it

assume the author thinks it's like the US model or summit

wait what?

caulkin put up a what i did last summer article today to meet the word count by the looks of it
