Nobody is going to notice when this finally happens for all the people arguing

That's a fair point, like Doesn't really matter how the Saudis prefer to do it.

I don't suppose we'll hear anything until it's all done and complete, based on earlier commentary about previous deals in the region being kept quiet until they were concluded. It's absolutely as it should be, really; tell people once and tell them the full story is always the best way.

to be fair, they might have had to spend five minutes or so thinking about how they can safely restart one of the most high profile and high value leagues in world sport in the face of a hideous global pandemic

I like this tweet so I believe him. I don't like this tweet so I no longer believe him. I don't think that second one is any sort of assurance for Bruce, it's just saying that no prospective purchasers are likely to be actively sharpening the knives before it's signed and sealed and all they've offered him are the usual banal platitudes that come with a takeover.

Good owld George I reckon there's a pretty good chance that the people involved in this bid had anticipated everything that's been thrown so far, like

Lack of articles can only be the result of hitherto negative journalists winding their necks in because they've realised they were wrong Literally no other explanation

Chronicle saying could be done in the next ten days it's always the next ten days

Such as sports ministers following us on twitter. This is the thing for me like, there's so much ancillary evidence to suggest it's well on its way but the instant some fucknugget on twitter posts a bit of speculative thick-as-whale-spunk shite everybody's in the pit of despair again

#cans if another bid is successful People who haven't already fallen in love with the journalist murderers are going to be very, very pleasantly surprised. It's a more socially acceptable multibillionaire? Tremendous news

stand off what a fucking knacker Nobody with any actual professional interest in the deal has said a word

Nothing could be further from my mind, like. The world has always worked on dodgy football feeds and there's only ever the occasional sacrificial lamb in the form of some fucker selling the equipment to get connected.

Richard Keys is just jealous that our proposed new chairman is a bloke who looks like Richard Keys (but a happy, successful, and content with his place in the world, version of Richard Keys rather than the real version who got peddled from a dream job for being a sex pest and no longer looks that way)

Yeah, heard that on R4 early this morning and was going to post it but didn't want to start another argument about charm offensives

Time and a half for reading letters about Saudi Arabia's human rights record from addresses in Manchester and Liverpool

Good advice. Is there any way to just get notified of significant updates? Wait until the thread title changes to something conclusive

Fifa are proper paragons of virtue like, that's a concerning development

I blame jinky jim and the shields gazette

I'm a nice bloke but I don't deserve to be anywhere near Newcastle United on that basis like
