Stirring the pot, innit.

Havent seen one report saying it'll be off and haven't seen one report saying it'll fly through

We already knew this.

"The World Trade Organisation has ruled that Saudi Arabia was behind a pirate satellite TV and streaming service that illegally broadcast sporting events" But they haven't though, have they? They've established that Saudi Arabia didn't do enough to stop it, not that SA was behind the illegal broadcasts. The same people would be complaining if the Saudis had caught those behind beoutQ and chopped their arms off (or whatever they do to pirates over there). Can't win. but the premier league wouldn't give half a shit and would have rubber stamped the takeover months ago You don’t want this takeover to go through do you, now you’re straw clutching. quite frankly I would rather almost anyone else be trying to buy the club preferably someone without one of the worst human rights records in the world What is it about the Saudis that keeps you up at night?

That is the vibe I'm getting as well.

Possibly but how? Just a gut feeling more than anything.

I can't help but get the feeling everyone's jumping the gun here.

Are you not all jumping the gun here? These tweets/snippets from the WTO report seem to be a bit more damning: https://twitter.com/tariqpanja/with_replies

Quite possibly Joey Linton.

Won't be watching it but surely that ginger beard with it's tufts of white is the most offensive part of the interview

A beautiful snapshot of this thread Yes indeed!! Some overreactions to 'fake news' on here (he trumped!) But seriously, the successful takeover WILL be announced soon now! What drink you got in to celebrate?

I don't think he understands the use of the Shearer gif

"spewing the same drivel" = linking and referring to actual clauses of the owner and directors' test, relating that to the personnel involved in PIF, and saying there'll be problems. Which I've said from day 1, and oh look, there's now problems. Just because you don't want to believe there are problems, and that this will therefore likely fail, doesn't mean that my posts are drivel. Especially as the things I've said look like they might well happen. Sorry for not toeing the "mindless optimism" line and just spending my time writing "CANS!" and speculating on what players we'll buy with our billions whilst shouting that PIF and SA are separate so this can't possibly fail. I didn't realise that was the only thing anyone was allowed to post in here, sorry. I've said repeatedly I'll be delighted to be wrong. I'm not saying the test WILL fail, I'm saying I EXPECT it to fail based on my understanding of the PL's Owner and directors' test. It might still pass, and I sincerely hope it does. I'll be posting on here if it does pass, of course I will. Why wouldn't I? And I certainly won't be gloating if I'm correct and the test fails because as a fan I'll be as gutted as anyone. And with that I'm done. I'll just read from now until there's a decision one way or the other, this has taken enough of my life over the past 3 months and like everyone I'm utterly exhausted by it. Look after yourself.

Did we not already know this?

Looks like Luke Edwards has calmed down a bit.

He's still going!

Luke Edwards is imploding already and it's only 10am.

Are you okay? Are you trying to be passing aggressive or are you genuinely asking me? Your posts always seem to have an immense amount of anger inside them. I was wondering if you are okay You're on a different planet you mind Just looking out for one another. In the form of constantly stirring the pot No, it wasn't.

Are you okay? Are you trying to be passing aggressive or are you genuinely asking me? Your posts always seem to have an immense amount of anger inside them. I was wondering if you are okay I'm good. But to be perfectly honest, I've been on this forum for 15 years and I've never seen this place be chock full of members so horrible to one another. So perhaps that makes me angry - that people just can't be a little more respectful from time to time. Maybe not have an argument or not have to prove someone wrong every single time. Gan canny and take it easy.

Is it being released to the public tomorrow? It is not. So what is the significance of tomorrow and the WTO? Not sure. Probably wrong, but I think the report tomorrow is finalised, rubber stamped and completed. Made public 30 days later. I think. Probably not.

I am, look: He looks like Tom Tucker's son on the top photo.
