SUPERTOON Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 You have to start questioning Caulkin at this point mind. He said they expected PL approval on a wednesday, what, 4 weeks ago now? It can be an ongoing process but cant be an indefinite one? At some questions have to be asked about what more the PL need. I'm not buying all this "next week", stuff. No f***er knows, including Caulkin. Only time will tell, think he (and the buyers) know more than you and me to be fair though. If no concrete news this week then I think it’s clear he doesn’t know as much as people, including me think he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of people jumping about like a set of mad frogs let's just wait and see what happens this week first. He's not the only media source (vast majority are) indicating things are well on track.

Yeah I agree things are well in track, just him and a few others have mentioned checks being done or as close to being done which should mean we hear something about it this week, not full confirmation of the deal but that checks have been passed.

If no concrete news this week then I think it’s clear he doesn’t know as much as people, including me think he does. I don't see how unless you think he has a direct source at the Premier League, which I don't think he does. I think it was 4 weeks ago when both Caulkin and Burt were both saying approval was expected "soon", which is likely what the buyers expected at the time. But at the end of the day its down to the Premier League not the buyers. I mean right now, the buyers may think the checks are complete and maybe rightly so. But even if they were at that time, any new info or concerns the Premier League have could mean extra questions are asked, and that will continue until they officially sign it off.

Yeah he has been stating 'officially' a lot recently instead of just still with the Premier League; and other media are taking the line that checks have been completed also. We will just have to wait and see what emerges this week. Bear in mind though that it's a bank holiday weekend and that the Premier League have two major consultations with clubs this week also. It can't go on forever though that's for sure and I would certainly hope/expect something in the next 7 days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Doesn't sound like it's going to happen this week. Looks like the donkey work is done but the top brass need to review, consult and sign off. That isn't happening until project restart is up and running. Could be a few weeks yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be or could not be, but, you can't say it isn't happening until Project Restart or it is happening before, as you or I do not know that. Let's just see what happens this week first as I'm sure there will be something comes out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that both Ashley and Saudis would want a conclusion not to drag on too much longer. Ashley will be wanting that money for other ventures, and PIF would want to start putting infrastructure in place, most importantly the manager. While they can't force the PL's hand, they can certainly ask them behind the scenes not to drag their feet longer than necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Assuming the Premier League hasn’t given formal notice that it approved by or on Friday, I think it’s always been a case of it won’t this week, mainly because they likely won’t give formal approval until Tuesday at the earliest. The noises about the checks not even starting is just people misinterpreting what Masters said in his interview last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The noises about the checks not even starting is just people misinterpreting what Masters said in his interview last week. This, the noises towards back end of last week were they’ve been given the nod unofficially. I’m guessing it needs officially signed off, which will hopefully be this week. I’m as calm as ever been about whole situation, even Mark Douglas said last week, it’s a matter of when not if. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Would love that to be right. Not just because it means we are there, but it might stop people hanging on every word Caulkin says like he is the takeover guru. Poor bloke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
