Been over a minute with no new posts in this or the positive thread. I demand constant content and developments!

There's absolutely no shame in thinking it wouldn't happen. Regardless of what some might say, this wasn't inevitable, it wasn't preordained. It very easily could have gone the other way. Everyone can unreservedly enjoy the fact that it is happening to the fullest.

And I imagine there's a not insubstantial Venn diagram overlap of Amnesty International supporters and Tesla drivers. In this world it's really not feasible for regular individuals to take hard line positions on this sort of stuff. Unless I guess you want to go hardcore into asceticism.

Holy shit. That was 2014? Fuck.

Can probably bring Johan Cruyff back to life with the kind of cash PIF's got.

Probably never going to get satisfactory answers to a lot of things I'd really like to know about this whole sordid affair, but, ultimately, fuck it--I can live with that. And, more importantly, FUCK MIKE ASHLEY AND THE PL VIGOROUSLY IN SEVERAL UNPLEASANT ORIFICES!

Just wanders around the airport greeting visitors.

Do you like bore holes? WELL WE'VE GOT BORE HOLES!!! Edit: Oops, I see @Northerngimp got to this one already.

Especially happy for all you that live in the area, knowing that the knock-on effects for the community ought to be pretty huge.

new forum who dis?

Not that I've seen. Even the ones that usually pick at each other seem to be singing from the same sheet.

Fair deal.

I mean, it was irrational, and not framed as belief, but as actual knowledge, and he was totally condescending, buy yeah, good on him.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not get carried away, here.

I won't let them hurt me again.

And if it wasn't clear before, it's certainly clear now that broadcast partners can bully the PL into doing pretty much whatever the fuck they want.

I hate it when that couch their tweets this way. Like, I don't give a shit about confidence. We've had confidence before. It means shit. I don't care what's "thought" by anybody. I have lots of thoughts that amount to shit. If you have anonymous sources just say you've got anonymous sources. If you're speculating, say you're speculating.

Let me know when you've decided it's time to order a pizza, @Ameritoon

That was short lived.

Yeah, and if so, then an extra hearty "Fuck you" to the PL, because it's basically just confirming "yup we're corrupt as fuck". (But also we'll still take the takeover, though. )

As a director it would have to submit a declaration about a whole laundry list of things specified under the rules -- a lot of we haven't done this, we have done that, this is true, that isn't, etc. -- and it would have to comply with PL rules. As a sovereign nation, it's generally not going to want to do that sort of thing.

"The Premier League has now been provided with written assurances that the Saudi state will not interfere with the running of the club and that only the PIF will be involved in Newcastle operations along with minority shareholders. Any breach of that undertaking could lead to directors being suspended." If this is the case, it's an absolute farce that this hasn't been done eons ago. It also doesn't get KSA outside of the definition of "Director" but if the PL's willing to buy it, more power to them.

They could say that and let it go through, but logically it doesn't hold water. The rules don't say "test someone when there's a complaint," they say "you're a director under factual circumstances x, y, and z, and as a director you've got to do 1, 2, and 3."

The fucking state of this. "Newcastle takeover deal back on . . . . Potential deal could be revived . . ."

@Jackie Broon knows.
