They won't knock it back on the human rights issue. Not only is it not part of the D&O test, but the Premier League's own government is directly trading with the Saudi state and encouraging investment. The announcements this week by the UK government were more than coincidence I agree they can’t block on this it would put them at odds with own government. However, they have been asking them questions on human rights apparently, whether that’s just a tick box exercise who knows. I’m sure masters would love to get a few prisoners released aswell though, he’d be an even bigger hero who cares if it takes a year to secure it, there’s no f***ing deadline anyway. Never seen or heard about that mind, everything which has been reported about the questions being asked is the piracy Can’t remember if it was Caulkin or Douglas but one of them did mention they’d been asked questions on human rights. Edit he mentions it in here. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-uniteds-takeover-11-burning-18582989

What gets me is if they block the takeover, how does that really help the prisoners, the grieving girlfriend(#qatari spy allegedly) and any other f***er with a grievance. The Saudis will continue investing and purchasing around the world, but hey we stopped them buying NUFC. Surely if they were leaking letters to the press re arms sales, it would gain just as much attention ? Maybe that’s the problem here this sale is bigger news than shipping jets, guns, tanks and missiles.

TBF you would expect Amnesty to lobby govt’s about human rights, but this is an organisation charged with running football. There ineptness is allowing people with no interest in football to use the sale as a vehicle to try and promote their own agendas.

The premier league are at this stage allowing themselves to be used by every Tom, dick and Harry with an agenda against Saudi Arabia to gain publicity. Why are these organisations not writing to U.K. govt after resuming arms sales to Saudi Arabia, I presume their letter to them has got lost in the post.

Piracy sorted now prisoners need to be released before deal approved. Thought that little wanker Delaney had been quiet for a while.

Football loving mp’s my fu#%ing arse, seems like the same suspects who brought this up in commons a few weeks back. Makes me think the momentum is with this getting passed now, hopefully not much longer. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12099459/mps-halt-sale-newcastle-united-to-saudis

Yep. That was really really good. Think everyone should listen to that for some insights into this takeover and previous ones that didn’t quite make. Interesting that BZG pulled out because they felt it was an insult to have to pay a non-refundable deposit to Ashley, along with a number of other insults they felt Ashley dealt them. Also, rumours that the new owners have already bought the freehold for SJP. (Some leaks from the city council) And that PIF/PCP etc had been told around June 1st by the PL that they were going to pass the takeover but on the proviso that they make efforts to sort the piracy. PIF apparently felt that this meant the deal was done. Well worth a listen, whatever you think of Wraith and Mitch. Agree completely I have no problem with the dentist, he openly admits he’s a gobshite and Hastie comes across as very genuine bloke. Found it very interesting that as recent as January they were meeting with midhat, and sheik khaled was at 65% about getting involved in another attempt to buy club. Also if BZG had taken over we would have become the club of Dubai, with even more prominent people involved, I'm assuming they were suggesting the Maktoum’s. However, once they had it confirmed PIF were interested they couldn’t compete. Like LV says well worth a listen if your in to this s***. :lol: f***ing hell man...meeting with midhat? That guy was nothing to do with a serious company looking to buy a football club man, stop being so gullible. They probably whatsapped him like everyone else. Like I say each to there own, but I think you’ll find a lot of that stuff was genuine last night. I’m not here to defend anyone, but I think you’ll find there has been a lot of efforts made by certain supporters to find buyers for the club.

I mean, listening to that they both quite clearly have absolutely no idea what’s going on. They’re both just out to raise their own profiles. Completely made up bullshit. Each to there own but find this constant put down of fellow fans a bit tiresome. Really don’t know how you come to that conclusion having listened to it, some very detailed information in there. Also as Greg on here will confirm I believe, wraith actually does have contact with PCP, much as people may not like these characters, to dismiss their info as bullshit is wide of the mark.

This was a really good listen tonight, some very interesting craic re BZG and previous Canadian takeover attempts.

Quite the opposite my confidence is growing by the day think where very close. The Saudi announcement re intellectual property today feels significant. Everything feels significant, until it’s not. So many events looked like being the catalyst to spark the final push, then it just fizzles out time again. If we’re not careful it’ll end up being a documentary on Netflix. It has but yesterday’s announcement was being advertised as having been approved by King Salman and MBS, they’re making a very public show of addressing this now. Also if you tie this in with golf mags information last week of the governor of PIF meeting PL and govt, this does feel very significant to me. The lengths they are going to for approval certainly look good for our future, these fu#%ers mean business exciting times ahead me thinks.

They’ve clearly changed the rules since they allowed City and Chelsea to join the party.

Rolling over and getting our tummies tickled by the top 6, pundits waxing lyrical about City. This is what the Premier Leagues all about, why the f#%k would the premier league want to approve this takeover and upset the apple cart. For anyone sick of the takeover and claiming they don’t care anymore, this is the reality and rams home more than ever this really is our last fu#%ing chance.

He’s getting plenty of replies from our lot after that tweet. Doesn’t look like the blacklisted 20 yesterday is going to slow down business.

Not a negative article really. Disagree think he spins it very negatively, no mention that no one from Pif is implicated. Joe Kinnear had him sussed years ago, he’s a grade A cnut.

First out of the traps.....Simon Bird who would have guessed. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/senior-advisors-saudi-crown-prince-22311611

Think a lot of people have received abuse when posting info, even a respected journalist like Caulkin, who’s intentions are genuine and well intentioned. Your information is interesting and appreciated by the majority, as it again seems well intentioned. This takeover process has tuned a lot of people into aggressive loons.

Word spreads fast or it’s common knowledge. https://twitter.com/GustavoMetral/status/1279511093686255616

The golf club meeting must have gone well.

Nope it was some character responsible for the e mails, Al Qasabi I think. He’s an acting govt minister and on PIF board.

How come the chairman of PIF is able to fly in to the U.K. and none you f***ing geeks noticed ? Edit broonlass you might have been on to something on Thursday.

Shame Luke Edwards didn’t know that, he’d investigated the Mauriss link for weeks before breaking his story.

I would agree the fact the SNP Politician is ignoring all questions relating to his pantomime performance during the week, would testify that cash for questions is alive and well. However, it’s important where all clued up where a lot of these stories re the takeover are coming from and who’s behind them. As a fan base we’ve been accused of being paranoid at times over this, however the above article would suggest where far from that.
