So if everything goes through Ashley, you can see why everything is taking so long as that fat slimy prick does everything at a snails pace. This is going one of 2 ways now, he’s either dragging them along knowing it’s not going to pass and he gets to pocket £17m(But £17m is a drop at what he’s going to lose in the current PL climate) or he’s just doing his normal everything at his pace has all the right signs and will get round to them when he gets round to them. I can’t see a multi billion company like PCP and PIF just sitting round taking his word for everything TBH

PIF can walk away they’d just lose their deposit. They’ve signed contracts. If they walked away they’d be dragged through the courts or stung by massive penalty clauses that dwarf their deposit. No one is pulling out of this deal. The PL are the only people who can stop it. Without knowing the specifics of the deal your speculating, what we do know is there’s a 17 milllion non refundable deposit. If the Premier League put off the decision indefinitely it becomes unchartered waters, you can’t say for certain they won’t walk away. The PL can’t just put it off indefinitely without having a reason and giving those reasons to both party’s, which would then end up in court most likely

PL bosses won’t finish for the summer until this season has finished, and I’m sure the new owners would get the lawyers in if the PL said “ it’s holidays now will will see you in 5 weeks with an answer”

The Saudis are making too many Concessions to be doing this off their own back they have to have been told by the PL “if you do all of these we will pass the deal”.it’s just so much of a pain in the arse waiting to be told it’s done

Yes. Not going to happen, even though ffp has be relaxed it still applies, if the Saudis do come in I think they will make 5 top class additions to go with what we have. 2 of those 5 signings should be a left and right full back. Not going to disagree there, I think LB,RB,ACM and 2CF is what we should be looking at

Looking like Germany as the destination

Not to be a negative nelly, but I didn’t think any major deals could be given out by the club until the takeover was done or rejected

Absolutely fucking shite, and Bruce thinks he should keep his job if the takeover goes through

Someone will get it right eventually :naughty:

Anyone seen the West Ham match has been moved back 15min to a 1415hrs KO on the 5th July

When is this legal case done? September time

TBH I really think it was, as one of the major complaints by BT sport, sky, BBC and bein was that they couldn’t get justice in the Saudi courts, they now have put it in black and white by a government agency how anyone can now do that.

Wonder was that response necessary I don’t think anything they put out is by chance, everything they are putting out now will be requested by the PL

Could all of these leagues be jumping ship now because of the upcoming corruption trial?

Bein seem to have kick the hornets nest, at this rate they will be left with nothing, maybe they should have just kept their mouths shut about the takeover

BEin would be in breach of the broadcast contract, PL could then resell the rights and sue Bein

PIF won’t walk. They’ll not wait forever either. Edwards trying to wind fans up and he fulfills his purpose as to why as you're clearly demonstrating. Ignore him man the c*** hasn't got a clue. I’m not basing my thoughts on edwards, I thought this after reading times report yesterday. They even quoted a source from pif saying they wouldn’t wait indefinitely. I do believe this is the pif trying to speed the premier leagues decision up, however if you think logically what more can the pif do now after the govt announced crackdown on piracy. There is literally nothing else the pif can do now to ease piracy concerns, they’ve done all the can. I’m still confident it’s happening but if it goes past end of next week with no decision, I’ll be getting concerned at premier leagues motives. They will go to the government before they would consider walking away and the government would push it through, TBH if the PL haven’t cleared it by next week they are taking the p*ss and I could see the PIF dragging them through the courts I agree end of next week, then patience will start to wear thin. Let’s just hope these are the concessions the premier league asked for, and they’ve now delivered. The Saudis wouldn’t have done it off there own backs, these would have been the stipulations by the PL to pass the deal

I can see the PIF putting pressure on the PL if it’s not cleared this week, they will be saying “we have done our part, make your decision or talk to our lawyers”

TBH if it had anything to do with us they would have blacked out the PL as a threat this weekend, before our deal was likely to go, it’s no use to them after the PL has cleared our deal.

Thread creation is for local people; there's nothing for new members here. Ahh right so I need to be around longer to make a thread? Any chance someone can make a thread of a realistic starting 11 the first game of next season?

Is there any reason why I can’t make a thread?

TBH I don’t think we will see much incoming air traffic because of the 2 week quarantine currently in force

I don’t mind Villa any more TBH, after the turned Brighton over to give us the championship title I forgave them, I would much prefer to see West Ham go down
