he'll sit and see out the contract, as will ritchie no way we get them off the books - maybe shelvey if we give him away free but that'll be it i reckon

lasy few years have nowt to do with it, it's out of ashley's hands now according to all available information, and that's been the fuck factor

he's fucking at one dickhead, now piss off back to charlton which is your level

the ramifications of the PL knocking this deal back on any grounds would be insaaaaaane like imagine them having the balls to do that, it's just so hard to see, the Sheff Utd. piece seems the most likely if they were going to grow a pair

The stories from last Thursday were that the piracy was the issue. So assuming that there are not new issues it will boil down to whether the premier league can prove that the owners were involved in this. Given a French court said they were not I guess that will be hard to prove. The takes as long as it takes line makes me far less confident we’ll hear anything this week. Hopefully this is not just delaying tactics. They weren't convicted of direct involvement but the French court agreed that beoutQ was using Arabsat satellites, which could be an issue. They may just want assurances this won't persist or they'll do more to stop it. it's already been shut down and has been for some time

kind of feel for caulkin a bit as much as i'm not into the hero worship he gets here so much - he's been reluctant to write about this for absolutely ages and then does so and gets dragged into mob insanity because things aren't happening quite as fast as he/they thought they should

What ”things” are going to be going slower? I think the PL's priority is getting the season restarted and any background checks etc are going to take longer. Staveley was told the PRL test could take up to 4 weeks. We are now in the fourth week. You think the takeover will happen this week. And that doesn’t include ”a few days” to transfer the money from the buyer to the seller. So basically it’s not going slower because of the lockdown. It won't all be in PL hands though will it. They'll have to apply to police or whoever to confirm they're not crime, apply to whoever else to verify they're not and have never been banko. Banks will presumably need to verify funds and so on. It's entirely likely that the current circumstances will make that s*** take much longer than normal. You are missing the point. If the test ”could take up to 4 weeks” and you think the takeover will be completed in 4 weeks, what is slowing it down then? Nothing as it was expected to take up to 4 weeks. Perhaps the 4 weeks thing refers to normal circumstances. Maybe they thought it would be when they started but things have moved slower due to the lockdown. Who the fuck knows, but it's mental to think the lockdown won't be having an effect.

Has a Saudi prince, Amanda Staveley, the billionaire Reuben brothers or the public investment fund of the state of Saudi Arabia ever been bankrupt should be a pretty f***ing easy question to answer. Right, but they're gonna go through all the normal checks man and not just sign it off. FFS.

to think if it wasn't for some nosy cunts on twitter we might all be none the wiser and sitting pretty arguing about something else about to get the shock of our lives

He did shit, he is shit, and I hate him.

What's this crack about playing all the games in Perth, the Australian one? That Nixon geezer on about it on Twitter.

Stinks of Steve Bruce this. Urgh. exactly, exactly

yeah it's well written that

good article in the athletic this morning "Why does Saudi Arabia want to buy Newcastle United?" has khashoggi's widow interviewed, her lawyer and so on but it written very well in a non-sensationalist way

He re-ignited it, we dared to dream again, what football was all about was personified in Rafa. exactly, he dragged me back from the brink of the dark pardew years where i'd more or less stopped watching any football at all

Not sure I ever understood the borehole thing
