Stifler Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Fucking piss take. They point out what every country does wrong, yet where was the calls to block the takeover of other clubs? Just last week they said they wouldn’t even get involved but would just ask for our fans to think about the Saudi regime. Nothing will be made of it in anyway, it’s already been said that the UK government would have to intervene to prevent it from happening on the human rights grounds. Additionally, the prince won’t be named as an owner or a director, everything will be through PIF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 As others have said , the premier league can’t block it over anything like that. Only the government can and that won’t happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 If the Premier League rejects this takeover on the basis of media pressure etc I don’t think I’ll be able to take the Ashley regime any longer. I think the dejection would even kill football for me. That’s how all in at any cost I am of getting rid of Ashley now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 There's no way the PL will veto it, I don't see that they'd have grounds given Man City's very similar set-up. Pretty obvious to me that nation states shouldn't own football clubs but too late for that now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to find a way of implementing the 50+1 rule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hope they wrote to them about Mike Ashley's human rights record too.

Kanji Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The ESPN article: https://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/4087557/new-newcastle-owners-target-pochettinoallegricavani-sources Ties with that other french journalist that Rafa, Allegri, Poch and Favre are the top manager candidates. Rafa and Favre are in jobs currently so would have to factor in compensation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I’d much rather Amnesty got in touch with the NUST, arranged to have a kiosk outside the ground on match days to provide information etc? Our fans and they can’t prevent this takeover. Instead of being mouthy on Twitter and writing letters they know won’t work, why not work with our fans to educate them and the wider community?
