Pixelphish Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Luke Edwards trying to put a pisser on it tonight. Can't understand why he's crying on, his own colleague at The Telegraph has written a high-profile article just the other day, stating the deal is expected to conclude next week He's always been luke warm at best but he's really gone down hill in the Bruce era. I assume the bitterness stems from having zero real information/source about the take over so he's venting on Twitter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Absolutely nothing in that interview to suggests anything negative about the takeover. He said the D&O tests is there for everyone to see, I.E. it only refers to financial aspects. No doubt the Premier League will make some sort of statement once it's announced, be that official or off the record references in newspapers.

SUPERTOON Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Not saying the interview was negative as in the takeover won’t go through btw, but his comment does suggest the checks aren’t complete yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhtoon Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I wouldn't read too much in to it. i think he may have just been hammering the confidential point and to be fair if he'd used the past tense it might have been seen as accepting it had been dealt with.

The fact that you choose to infer in a way which contradicts all the evidence reported and what he said in his reply just before that is your choice.

LFEE Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Reading the Jason Burt article I can’t see where it says its complete. Resolved doesn’t equate to agreed.

LFEE Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Which is what Luke Edwards is alluding to (and the way I read it originally). People are far to harsh on him in here. He’s become intrenched over Bruce I agree but in general he’s ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But dealing with the press and confidentially don’t belong together which is the confusing part of the answer he gives. His answer is deliberately ambiguous in order to avoid answering the question because he legally cannot and quite possibly does not want to answer it. If he could have said no comment without being slated for it then he would have. Instead he’s doing an interview in order to portray the Premier League as more open and transparent with the fans and media compared to the previous leaders of the organisation, he cannot do that and has to answer these types of questions in the manner that he did.
