Wording isn't quite strong enough but will do for now.

Is that on Sky?

I think as much as we would like to blame MA - for me this sits firmly with the PL. It should never have taken so long to process to even allow the agreement to expire. Part of me thinks are PIF calling their bluff as I very much doubt they pull out of deals very often and also it's giving Bein Sports their wish. But if the PL are never going to approve it - which it appears that way - i.e.making unrealistic requests - then I guess there is only so long you can wait before you say enough.

PL not been informed? Do they not have the internet like?

I feeling like sacking off the PL all together - cancelling my Sky and watching another league. It's disgusting what's happened - robbed a region of hope and more importantly investment, jobs when it needed it the most - just to keep the fat cats at the top happy. Richards Masters should have to answer for his actions - but it will never happen. Can do what he wants.

He's spot on with his assessment of the PL. They are the culprits in all of this and it calls into question the integrity of the League.

Mauriss bid doesn't exist....fiction I am going to cling onto hope that this deal somehow resurrects itself.

We'll come back in another 6-12 months time! Different backers? Why do you think she said they had to put a statement out?

What do people make of this quote by Amanda Staveley?

Potential crumb of hope at the end statemented but don't understand why Amanda says they had to issue one??

Ha - can you blame him?

Lies- don't believe it for a second.

Its all on the PL - corrupt to the core- bigger clubs didn't want this to happen They are totally unaccountable can do what they want. Them taking into consideration the opinions of the bigger PL clubs and Qatar was bang out of order. No way should any of their feelings have had any effect on this takeover. It's same as FFP - football now just protects the big clubs its all against other clubs crashing the party. I am certain if it was Man U that had the bid it would have been pushed through. Mental that other clubs can have a say, of course they are going to object when you are talking millions for finishing one place lower in the league. It speaks volumes as to who actually runs football. I think it was clear it was never going to be approved but rather than it drag on they'll invest their money elsewhere.

They're untouchable- can do, say what they want

Out from Caulkin yet?

If the PL hadn't dragged their heels he wouldn't have been in a position to PL got their way simple as that Qatar happy and all PL big guns will be getting the champagne out

C) PL didn't give approval because they're corrupt and wanted to protect the bigger clubs

Gutted - this was our one chance for this club to go somewhere. Its been an utter farse from the start. PL are totally corrupt, dragged their heels to protect other interests. Am convinced of it.

Think there is any chance this is brinkmanship? They basically let Qatar win- which seems unlikely

Football is corrupt to the core - the big clubs won.

That's that then
