manorpark Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Surely if they are waiting for the report, it’s because they will use it to block the takeover, otherwise why else would they be waiting, it would have been passed by now surely. Have a look at my post just above yours. That is what I explain in there . . why they are "needing" the WTO report published, before they can announce the approval of the Takeover !!

TRon Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 He didn't say anything of the sort. He was interviewing Roberto Azevêdo from the WTO who said there would be a ruling, but wouldn't be drawn on when or if it had already been made, and said it would be between the two countries to come to a resolution. This is what I saw too. I actually think there's a lot to be optimistic about. KSA cant just ignore this report and its findings and will need to seek a resolution with Qatar. Qatar too will want reparations and so surely it stands to reason that once that has been resolved the takeover will be free to be pushed through. It would explain why the PL.havent rejected it yet, it seems to me that they're waiting for the report to be released so that that can be resolved which would leave them free to ok the takeover without repercussions from both sides. Is that not what I said ? Not really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I can't see the Premier League rejecting the takeover, they need every penny they can get at the minute. My only concern is the buyers get fed up and pull out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 When the guardian wrote about the WTO report a few weeks back, did they not describe it as a slam dunk for Qatar ? Surely that suggests the evidence will be used to block the takeover? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that suggests the evidence will be used to block the takeover? Wasn't it the Athletic? You're missing the point though, it might be a win against Saudi Arabia for Qatar, but it still doesn't mean the takeover will be blocked. Not if the PIF are seen as a separate entity. Also, which I posted above... This ruling looks like it might be just to say Saudi didn't do enough to stop piracy not that they were actually behind it which is explained in that twitter thread by Ben Jacobs.
