Including the Premier league's own prediction

Look forward to reading the transcripts of that Geordie baiting session. I think you’ll find Simon Jordan will be very much on our side. Balanced no doubt but he’s no fan of the EPL. I always thought he loved to rile our fans up. Am I getting him mixed up with someone else? Is Steve Parish a prick about us? Jordan has definitely tried to wind us up before in things he's said. However from what I've heard him say about the takeover he's really stuck up for us and been on our side and slated the PL.

Unless it's that it was ready to be passed subject to them agreeing to include MbS and/or the KSA as a director. I thought the whole point of them trying to get KSA as a director was so they then had valid grounds to reject it. Although surely you can't ask for that and then say no we're not happy with that, it's rejected. Maybe just to cover the legal side of it? ?‍♂️

Absolutely hate EA sports too. Bunch of money grabbers who only care about how much they can rake in via ultimate team while neglecting actual gameplay. Each year its "brand new ball physics" when in reality its the same shit as last year. I know fifa isn't the only game they make but its the game that make them the most money and the gameplay suffers because of it. So yeah, I rank them right alongside the PL...

Ties in with mandys statement imo. How? She gave absolutely nothing away and that seemed to imply that "something" was still going on in the background. If she had said something along the lines of "we are still going to try our best" it would indicate to me that discussions with the PL are not currently ongoing. What rocker has said there confirms to me that AS doesn't want to say the wrong thing and piss off the PL while they are in discussion.

Ties in with mandys statement imo.

Really like that 3rd kit. ?

Interesting from the Department for International Trade "We help UK companies succeed in Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabian companies set up and invest in the UK." Liz truss is the minister for International Trade. She is the MP for South West Norfolk and I am in North Norfolk. I've sent her an email anyway but I don't think it will have any effect as I'm not in her constituency.

Joined. Really would like to see the sign ups explode as of course it would be benificial to see for the NUST, but also exactly the kind of thing needed to show the PL that this matter isn't just going to be swept away.

So what happens if the offer isn't ever actually withdrawn from the PL? Do they still have to make a decision? Just because its been reported in the press and a statement has been released does that automatically tell the PL to stop looking at the takeover?

So tonight with itk's we've found out that a decision is due this week and that Ashley is currently delaying the deal even though he absolutely wants to sell the club. Definitely possible that it's been passed and Ashley is waiting to receive the money before it being confirmed.

Just like SA like to do business. Yes, yes I definitely like this possible scenario.

Absolutely no idea what any of this means

I think the PL don't want MBS to be connected to the club due to his human rights and piracy issues. Imagine they give it a pass but say he must not be connected. How the fuck would he get the money into the club? Surely you can't just have someone not connected to the club throwing money at it?

The PL are actually asking 4 months down the line "who is going to be in charge"? What in the actual fuck have they been doing.

Yeah shouting mine I can understand as then you know not to go for the ball and get in the keepers way. Just seems like I should shout "SAVE IT " everytime the opposition take a shot ?

Why do goalkeepers always shout "AWAY" when your defending a corner? I mean don't we all know that's exactly what we're suppose to do? Happens at every level and just seems utterly pointless ?

Didn't Douglas or GC say even the buyers are now not saying what questions they are answering from the PL? If Jacobs is correct then it must be a leak from the PL.

Do PIF own Saudi Telecom? Is there a genuine chance the takeover could be on hold until that deal ends with Man Utd at the end of this month? Not enough information I can find about what kind of impact this is/could be having on our situation.

Used to. I'm sure the forum went through this when he first chirped up. Either way, he's saying it's stalled due to piracy issues, yet Duncan Castles is saying all questions and answers regarding piracy were complete a round a month ago and now the buyers aren't saying what the current questions are related to. Two completely different "exclusives"

Let's not forget, he works for Bein

If the PL have received a nudge from the government to get this done and keep the Saudis trigger happy with their cash in this country, then PIF have played it perfectly. PL just stalling but they know this has to go through from pressure above. The government can’t tell the premier league to pass it imo. How can they influence them in anyway really ? The government want the Saudi money. They do not want the PL to piss off SA on any day, let alone now that we are in recession. Money comes first in everything, so that alone I can't see the PL wanting to reject this. There's just to much a stake even though that will never be made public of course.

This. How on Earth they've managed to get themselves involved so heavily is an absolute joke. Yes they have the rights but that's for the PL to sort out with SA. It's the content of the PL not Qatar. The PL have been bossed and bullied by Qatar so much its laughable.
