Just catching up with today I thought Raabs comments today were encouraging re investment, however the Qatari’s seemed to have spun it the other way. The telegraph and other newspapers seem to be getting spoon fed at the minute by bein, and are lapping it up. You can see how they got the World Cup, the fuc#%rs are relentless.

He’s also the QC in HMRC court case against us. I think PCP could have a field day if this blokes evidence is used. https://www.sportslawbulletin.org/tax-raid-premier-league-club-lawful

Stephen Nathan QC they couldn’t have chosen a more inappropriate QC, they must have had to trawl the gutter to get this fella. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2003/mar/21/race.world

Martyn Ziegler block me cause i said he is paid by the Qataris. The biggest sleeping giant in English football has stirred. What about their support of terrorism, bribery to get World Cup and slave labour Martin ? And as for biggest sleeping giant, even the Mackems have averaged over 40k in their history you corrupt Cnut. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/andrea-radrizzani-new-qatar-investor-can-get-leeds-up-to-level-of-man-city-bfd0gcqlf

He’ll disappear as quickly as he appeared if the Saudi bid gets blocked.

These are the people the premier league are allowing to block our takeover. I’m certainly not naive when it comes to the Saudis, but surely the premier league should be thinking twice about blocking a takeover based on submissions from this lot. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/feb/20/swiss-prosecutors-charge-psg-president-nasser-al-khelaifi-in-fifa-bribery-case

Spot on I can’t believe the premier league is allowing itself to be dictated to by these cnuts. I wouldn’t care if they were clean but the fuc#%s are corrupt as hell. They need to be put back in there box, and told to f#%k off.

Few mentions today about this Mauriss blokey bidding for sponsorship at the World Cup in Qatar. With reports of a bid 50 million over the asking price and keys name dropping him, it does make you wonder. The Qatari’s bid for the World Cup was corrupt as hell, the chairman of bein/PSG is due in a Swiss court later this year on bribery charges. Are we paranoid ? To fu#%ing right we are, and with good reason I suspect.

This is the ground being cleared for everyone to save face. The Saudis get to come back and buy a top 6 club in next couple of years, and we get the poor American who we will be told we should be grateful to have. Of course the fact he’s got no money and will be no threat to top 6, will mean he sails though checks.

He’s determined to piss on our chips. The headline does say complicit as opposed to behind it, which you could say is correct. However not sure what point he’s trying to prove here.

Despite saying he was taking a break from it earlier, he’s back again.

NEW: BeIN respond to WTO ruling This from the Financial Times. "These are not allegations,” said Sophie Jordan, general counsel at beIN Media Group. “This is a decision from one of the most important international tribunals. and David Sugden, director of corporate affairs at beIN Media Group.“The next cycle of rights we will not bid anything near what we currently [pay],” he said, adding that if Saudi Arabia secured a place at English football’s top table, that would be “letting the fox into the henhouse”. It adds that BeIN will 'reconsider' bidding for the TV rights if the takeover goes ahead despite the WTO ruling. They are threatening not to bid for next tv rights, but in same breath saying they won’t be paying as much. Will the prem bow to them or call their bluff. This is what it all boils down to.

Is the confusion and interpretation of state involvement, due to the wording ‘prominent Saudi individuals’ used in report. If you wanted to spin it you could conclude this refers to people in power within Saudi. The trouble for the objectors is that it’s inconclusive, therefore I think we’ve avoided the smoking gun and slam dunk the papers claimed.

I don’t know where to start but are we moving on to Staveley now, what a crock of shit.

Looking good lads. Think things have turned for the better today. Yeah apart from journos trying to put their own spin on it, I don’t think we could have hoped for anymore from today.

Few more in here now, I can see this quickly becoming the place to be.

If Starforth is right and the Qatari’s are going to issue a summary and view on takeover, surely the fuc#%rs are overstepping the mark. This is supposedly meant to be a private and confidential test, surely it would sound alarm bells with premier league. No partner of the league should be able to exert this much influence, it would be an extreme case of the tail wagging the dog.

Looks like ingle still reckons it’ll say Saudis behind piracy.

Hello hello anyone here......

Not really that’s just their defence. Interesting that there just using the geopolitical argument. They do class aljazeera as terrorist tv, so I would imagine that’s their whole argument for banning bein. Bearing in mind that Saudi is Britain’s main ally in gulf, I’d be astonished if premier league came down on Qatar’s side here. I can’t imagine Boris and co being very happy, if the league p*ss then off.

If the feedback has been positive all the way along, and they then turn around and block it, you’ve got to think the premier league have led them a merry dance. This is still our biggest indicator that it’ll go through. I can’t imagine Chris Mort and Freshfields misjudging the feedback that badly, and they’ll be the people dealing with this on behalf of PCP.

If this was Man U and they had the chance to get rid of the glazers, and the prem league we’re dragging their heals like this, there’d be fu#%ing uproar. The red army would be outside masters house with balaclavas on launching fireworks at him whilst he was sat on the bog. And you can be sure the press would have an entirely different view on it, including little miggy.

The complaint details central and municipal government departments supporting BeoutQ. Let’s hope pif don’t fall under that umbrella.

https://www.policyforum.net/newcastles-takeover-and-the-politics-of-sport/ Thought the Professor had slunk away, even the Ronny gill don’t ask for his opinion these days. The "expert" who was convinced they had zero interest in the club and it was all rubbish, isn't he? His insiders at the pif hadn’t heard anything of interest in Newcastle. They couldn’t understand why they’d be interested in us when they could buy Man U. He kept this line up for 2 months, obviously with the delay he feels emboldened to return hoping everyone had forgot.
