et tu brute

So the Premier League have stated that the Saudi state and PIF are seperate, so what are the other clubs going to disquaify PIF on, without immediately falling foul of UK law concerning anti-competition and restraint of trade? With them being officialy seperate (according to the Premier League), how can they also amend the O&D test to disqualify PIF? UK law is a lot more powerful than the Premier League clubs that's for sure and I'm also pretty certain that the Government (trade partners with KSA) would also stop any attempt. Absolute pie in the sky concerns.

Tidied

It's ok for a laugh, but it could cause problems for anyone working in an office environment

Yeah I saw that in a few people's thoughts, but Heron indicated that it was something that was justified

Problem is not spending, it's getting the players to come given the position we will most likely be in.

What rumours are these?

If there was a chance (personally I think we're down), then Brentford and Watford are probably the two best options to catch.

Probably give Dubravka a 5 (to me it's his fault for the goal), Manquillo a 6 and Shelvey a 7 also (as I thought second half he didn't have anywhere near the same impact as the first). Otherwise I would generally agree with the rest.

Triggered, you mean amused

Got to be Ryder that, I remember against Brentford he give none of the defence less than 6 and most got a 7.

100%, you're talking shit. And I will bookmark this post for when/if it happens. Never going to happen.

Problem I think they will have is getting those quality players on permanent transfers, due to the position we will be in. Honestly think the loan market will be our most likely way of getting players in. I can also see a long transfer window as it will be a struggle attracting players of the quality required.

No I don't because it will cost them millions in legal fees for a start. Never going to happen otherwise the takeover wouldn't have happened in the first place. There is only one person being naive here and it's certainly not me.

No you are or very stupid, one of the two. There is not a cats hell chance in a million that this would be allowed legally in a court of law. Even if they did try (they won't), it would get thrown out immediately.

Agree this is a better indicator

Bollocks is it man

They have not put any rules in yet on the sponsorship and Newcastle are on that group also. If any rules come in that are against competition and restraint of trade, then I'm quite certain Newcastle will take them straight to the courts and win. You can't accept a takeover and then try and stop the club under these owners being allowed back in because of relegation. That boat has long sailed.

Add Chealsea away to that also.

And how are they going to do that then?

He did make an error mind, if he was not confortable with catching the ball then he should have pushed it behind, not pushing it straight to a Norwich player.

Plus we had taken off our only other real attacking threat also.

He was shocking when he came on mind.

I honestly think Leeds had too much to go down anyway. The fact is that from 17th position, we are now three games off safety if you include the goal difference. I can't see anything other than that gap widening also before January.

Push it behind then as I said before not straight to their player. That was a bad error whichever way you look at it.
