Great, so if it passes we might have to wait *another* week whilst the fucking cheque clears. I don't think we'll hear about it until everything is confirmed, including the transfer.

HOPE.

Imagine after all this we are owned by a Qatar proxy How would Keyes feel? I know! He'd be cock-a-fucking-hoop I should imagine the hairy handed, daughters best mate shagging, politicising cretin. He’d be presenting in a toon top with a Qatari flag stitched over fun 88, telling us all how his crusade saved our club from the evil Saudis. Imagine if they appointed Rafa as manager as well

They have had it for a month via Qatar. I think they will have been pressing via PIF for the full closure of BeoutQ and access to the Saudi justice system to any future piracy cases. Saudi movement here seals the deal; in their statement the Saudis have committed to conform to IP laws and protocol. It is not hard to imagine that as part of the ODT PIF agree to support the fight against piracy and to use their power to ensure compliance in KSA. The PL will not want to be tied up with this forever, there must be a deadline of sorts at some stage. Also can anyone really see the Saudis committing to proper long term reform (piracy wise) if the deal is rejected?

Anything of note for those of us without a subscription? Yep.

Surely the PL will take some time to digest the WTO's report?

That would all but guarantee that we don't get relegated, so would make the rest of the season a bit more enjoyable. Would take.

Like Butt and Geremi all over again.

Almost like they have an agenda against us....

Saudi Arabia’s issues with Qatar are much larger than paying for BeIN. Why should the PL care about anything that doesn't directly / indirectly affect them?

Why are we assuming that SA being called out for this is the end game? What if the PL just want to use it to pressure them into sorting it, ie. paying for the rights in a legal manner.

Do you really believe that? Howay man Spaceman, you should know the anti-nufc mafia were waiting for this takeover to happen so they could stop it. Same people that said we weren't allowed to sign Brad Friedel iirc.

Do you really believe that?

Okay, so it's a partnership with Muddy Knees rather than The Athletic taking it over.

They better not sack off any of the regulars.

It'll probably come and go with nothing being said

What a finish from Kroos. May be ruled out though.

How do you know that?

Apparently we had a friendly against Hull today in which we won 2-0.

6 Days ago. Seek help.

I didn't do that last time, can I be all high and mighty this time round?

Which would be hypocritical as most fans just wanted ashley gone and the club ran properly before this takeover. Yup. Increasing our commercial revenue and spending our budget on meaningful improvements on and off the pitch will be a million miles away from what we're currently doing, so I'd be happy with a more modest 'Leicester-style' approach, as oppose to going full Abramovich / Mansour. Not that I'd be against either approach, mind

Fucked it, there goes my chance of ever getting in
