Yeah not much we don't know. Small rumour that the PL may make a decision this week although he says the buyers haven't even heard that so could be bad news if true. Mentions AS getting an apology in court and credits the Newcastle fans for making sure it was known. (Judge also thanked public for alerting the court)

Powerless due to "alleged" evidence. Yeah that makes sense.

Ironically I really think their plan was to purposely take time so it seems as though they have really been considerate about everyone's concerns who are against the takeover. In reality they come across as an incompetent organisation who are getting bullied by one of their own partners.

Has FFP been relaxed, I know it was being talked about a few weeks back.

FFP relaxed. Come on PL pull your finger out ffs. We have things to buy!

I really wish when Edwards posts on twitter he receives zero replies. He loves the attention and thrives on it. Fair enough people need to be told but then you get people like him who just need to be completely ignored for various reasons.

It's almost as if someone has said "what can we say to get the supporters on our side" Answer : Say we will replicate the current European Champions and the team dominating the League.

Ian Dennis is defo getting his info from Qatar connections imo. I'd say those first to break the news about this American bid are too.

So what happens if the PL reject the takeover and PIF etc decide to take legal action? Does that mean another bidder can quickly try and buy the club? Surely the PL can't start another test for a different owner until this current one is finished without any appeal? Also, I wonder what power that gives Ashley? Could he pull the deal without penalty?

looks like a cross between Peyton Manning and Andy Samberg edit: or a touch of young Adam Sandler. It's none of them. I'm not even sure if who I'm thinking of is an actor now I come to think of it. Maybe just a TV presenter. It's doing my head in. He reminds me of Chris Stark from Radio 1.

Are those two a couple? Lads done well for himself.

Football Law saying he will do a write up on all of this hopefully tomorrow ?

Bein "If you don't do what we want you won't have our money anymore"

Wtf is that from NUFC.com

The worst I see from that report - BeoutQ was operated from Saudi Arabia and by Saudi nationals. It cannot be proven that it was the Saudi government. Saudi government didn't do enough to find and prosecute those in charge.

If you have seen my previous posts over the last week or so, I have simply said that the Premier League need the evidence of the "published" WTO Report, for everyone to see, to support their decision to approve (what the Media have drummed up to be) this controversial (their words) takeover. I have seen nothing to change my view on this. It is just plain, simple LOGIC . . I have no inside information. How will it support their decision to approve the takeover if it unquestionably incriminates KSA? You make no sense. It’s about PIF and the degree of separation as a legal entity, were PIF responsible for piracy, if no then the takeover should proceed. Hasn't that already been stated? I'm sure some legal expert on twitter posted a screenshot of it dated June 2nd? Didn't that come from the WTO report?

If the PL rejects the takeover who truly benefits? Just Qatar and human rights groups. The PL will lose out on massive investment to their league. The government will be left red faced as will KSA. AS will have failed yet again to be successful. MA will be left with something he doesn't really want (although he keeps 17m he obviously wants this deal to happen) The region and council will lose out on massive investment opportunities. Edit - But will Qatar actually benifit if the piracy continues? This is the best chance they have to resolve the issue properly. Do we really think rejection of the takeover will stop the piracy?

The top executive they quote is probably Charnley. He has no idea what's going on just like everyone else. 50/50 is about as accurate as you can predict given the amount of positive/negative headlines over the last couple of months.

Bein surely? They have an existing contract so maybe the PL are making sure allowing this doesn't break that contract.

MBS casually throwing $10k at DOTA while he chills and waits for all this to blow over. https://www.ginx.tv/en/dota-2/saudi-arabia-crown-prince-biggest-dota-2-battle-pass

Telegraph are full of shite. Had little reputation regarding our takeover but like you say, producing crap like that shows their true colours. Why can't one of them just say "PL are doing everything they can to find a way to make the takeover happen" if a paper wants an insane amount of attention? ?

The Stoke fans with teeth like a crossword and the Norwich fans flopping a dildo around live on air was pretty funny though

How can the WTO report hold any weight anyway? It's not a court of law ruling and isn't it said to be heavily influenced by Qatar? Maybe the PL have asked MBS for proof against the evidence but then how is that fair as you can't keep asking for documents or proof everytime something goes against them. And just because they can't hand in the sufficient proof to aid the innocence, still doesn't mean they are guilty and should be refused.

Nice update What do you mean with the PL seen to go through the piracy though? As in they want it to look like it's been a real thorough process or as in they are still going through it?
