STM Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I'm just trying to imagine the scene. The PL have completed their checks and are now on the video link to Yasir Al-Rumayyan... "Hello Mr Al-Rumayyan, we have concluded our investigation and looked at your proposal for NUFC and it is certainly very impressive. However, as you know, there have been several instances of televised PL games being pirated by an organisation in Saudi Arabia. We have consulted our legal team with regards to this matter and they can find no legal evidence that proves that you or anyone involved with the Saudi PIF contributed to this piracy. However, in our considered opinion, we believe there is no smoke without fire and on those grounds we regret to inform you that we cannot allow your purchase of NUFC. Many thanks for your interest though" Aye, righto. Or, just to add some balance... "There is enough evidence to suggest that, in the balance of probability, illegal streaming of PL football matches came from Saudi State owned satellites, which violates our owners and directors tests". It can fall through. A more comforting thought is that, for once the power and money is on our side, not against us. From the little I've heard, Staveley and the Reubens are no schmucks, they will have a legal team battling hard the other way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 The reasonable opinion will have to have some kind of factual backing, especially when it means 1 party loses a 17 million deposit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Are you seriously saying that nobody can have a reasonable opinion on anything without evidence? I reasonably believe many things with no evidence whatsoever. Again, I'm not saying this will fail, I'm just saying it's ridiculous to suggest it cannot. There's too many people in this thread who seem so utterly convinced that this cannot in any way be stopped. You might be in for a shock. Are you really saying you can knock a multi-million pound deal back, based on a reasonable opinion without evidence Well thats exactly what the rules say so yeah Think you need to do a bit more research on law: An opinion is a judgment based on facts, an honest attempt to draw a reasonable conclusion from factual evidence We are talking about the internal rules of a company explaining how they run their business. Their rules clearly give them enough room to decide what ever they want when it's in the grey area. I doubt there's a section in UK law about who gets to play in the Premierleague?

Yes, I think there is a struggle in peoples minds between Law and Business. PL could conclude whatever they want but it would need to be watertight, otherwise they will get sued for damages etc, which would cost the PL a fortune. They may have some evidence that hasnt been divulged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
