PIF wanted to turn us into a superhouse. Eventually making big name signings and competing at the top of European football. If this league goes ahead none of that will happen.

So they'll be playing just 1 midweek game every week with no international games for players?

Oh fuck. I thought they released a statement earlier supporting it! Just proves I know fuck all about them

Same. Never heard of them before tonight and they've just destroyed football for me for the first time in the 38 years I've been alive.

Get the popcorn ready

The only place I've seen mention a 10.30 announcement is that un-official Madrid twitter account and they quote the BBC, however I can't find any mention of it via BBC ?

I can see it now "sky sports super football on super Saturday showing super league in full super HD... And its live!" (Sign up for £150 per month minimum 36 month contract)

Some of them for sure, but there's no way that league is going to be rammed with the Worlds best talent, I'd say there is more players who want International reputation and trophies, while still becoming millionaires, then there is players who just want money money money.

Fuck the clubs, but surely no top player would want to be a part of this? Banned from playing in the World Cup and would rather play Arsenal and Spurs? ?

Is this lad injured? Hasn't featured since Wolves has he?

So any ideas about this 9.30pm announcement? Surely the PL has to take action against the clubs named even if it ends up falling on its arse? Will it even be confirmed it's going ahead or could it be an announcement that its cancelled?

Has anything been said on the F365 forum lately? Did anything ever actually come true from there anyway?!

In what way will the takeover not be concluded? The club have officially stated that arbitration is the process.

Yeah but Bruce.

So strange that before he arrived here I was like who the fuck is this guy? Partridge shrug. Now he's one of our best players ? Either I'm really out of touch with football or our CM is really that bad.

Sunderland

Yeah agree, I just edited my post as it isn't the nationality that matters but the fact they are linked. It does seem strange given the timing that he's stepped down though. Fingers crossed its all coming together.

Who's burnise mouth of the tyne? If so no but I did get it from twitter where I've seen a number of people say it. Isn't there more than one Premier league club with the owners who are the same nationality though? Edit - obviously not the nationality that matters but surely there are other owners that can be linked like the Saudi family

Apparently it's the chairman that's an issue and not the owner due to the chairman having day to day involvement.

Tbf to him if the rumours about him not liking Bruce are true, you can't blame him. It's unprofessional but working with that fucking dinosaur week after week would make you question if you want to give up football and take a job in IKEA.

Many of us said at the time that the government would want this deal to go through. The amount of investment would be too good to turn down. I think even now there is a high chance of slight pressure from number 10 to get this done one way or another. The benifits for Boris far far outweigh the negatives.

If you're going off what Caulkin wrote its not exactly what he means. But of a click bait title really as he's only saying that's how it'll be if nothing changes, which is quite obvious.

"catching fish" "rich" ard masters?! ?

Netflix have missed a trick here. Imagine those cameras following our club for the past year. ?

We're trying to tell the arbitration panel that MBS has no involvement with our takeover and there he is telling Boris to get the deal done or he will cut trade with the UK. That absolutely does us no favours. However, I agree that it "shouldn't" be enough ammo for the PL to kill the deal.
