You argue a sound case, but the PL response is that your reading of F.1.1.1 is too much a strict letter reading, that the PL acknowledged that PIF disclosed its would-be directors but were fuzzy on what “control” meant in the rules - and because the PL is such a helpful bunch, they gave them an opportunity to correct their papers rather than reject it outright. Yes, the rules say they should have been rejected, but I don’t know the argument “Be damned with ‘helpful’, they should have failed us” is going to beat the above PR line. Although the PL may helpfully allow proposed directors to submit additional information (although, by the letter, their rules don't actually allow for that) the PL have said that an impasse was reached in June, they clearly should have issued a formal notice of disqualification at that point. I think you're correct, but I don't think it matters. It would always have come back to whether the Saudi state or individuals in it (whomever it was that the PL took the position was a director) had "control" for purposes of the definition of "director". It seems the PIF/Saudis either aren't confident they'd prevail on that point, don't even want to produce they kind of information they'd need to produce if that issue came to a head, or otherwise don't feel like pursuing it.

So you have no frame of reference here, Robster. You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie . . .

Can't believe his back with this Mauriss bullshit.

Might be just not be the broker? Ala Kenyon Possible. I'd be wary of doing a deal through a dude who has been ordered not to lie in the course of seeking investments, though:

What does that mean? SEC Form D suggests their annual revenue is less than $1m? Correct. And seeking $7.5MM in investment.

Ima go out on a limb and say Mauriss isn't a real player.

Up to the fans. Fuck all the way off.

I tried not to follow this one very closely--self care is very important--but godammit if still doesn't sting.

Why have they used a drawing of Saint-Maximin tapping his veins like he's getting ready to shoot up?

Saudis, pls.

Jesus. I didn't realize Wham have Norwich, Watford, and Villa left. Lucky bastards.

Nice

Live and let live

Well that was ugly.

No Perch?

NEEDS MOAR NONCES!!!

Yeah, it looks like we will be losing quite a few people from the football section if this takeover goes through. Chat is the superior section anyway. Reminds me I need to change my avatar and text back to "Only here for the GC"

Decent opportunity to nickname a defender Bone Saw, if nothing else.

Here's the Premier League version (see Section F beginning on page 121): https://resources.premierleague.com/premierleague/document/2020/04/17/049a315f-f4a8-4706-bcec-75ec9ddf7f73/2019-20-PL-Handbook-170420.pdf

It’s just down the road from me.....it’s a former 18 hole golf course. They’ve managed to keep some of the holes and therefore a 9 hole golf course after training for the players.....What do we have...a plastic pool and wheelie bins for their entertainment. Borehole!

I’m quite sure lives were ruined, if not lost due to the practices of that company. No doubt. Many people quite justifiably didn't care for them being the club's shirt sponsor.

Wonga.
