I think they will on this one, it's so high profile. I reckon they've already rejected it. You wouldn't be having all this stuff coming out like confetti by BEIN and Qatar if that was the case. They are obviously shitting themselves by the amount of stuff coming out. Ahh sorry, my prediction is that they've rejected it in the last day or two, not previously. Should probably just say "I reckon they're gonna reject it". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Bein/Qatar responding to that comment by Raab show they're rattled as fuck. They've paid for that WTO report and countries like us and the USA continue to praise KSA. They've got no tangible reward from it other than "Yeah KSA should let you prosecute someone" This is all they've got left from this affair. All they can hope is to spoil one small scale KSA investment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should probably just say "I reckon they're gonna reject it". The last day or two is when Qatar have really lost the plot. Releasing statements about refunds and that they won't bid for another TV deal if it passes and getting a QC to send a opinion to the PL that the takeover should be rejected. It does seem like Qatar have gone from quietly working in the background to get the takeover cancelled to desperate public flailing in the last day or two. I don't want to assume anything, but it doesn't look like the actions of someone confident things are going their way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawberry Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I don't get the Qatar idea. They made mistake dont allow them to have premier league team. If thats the case can they also lobby Fifa to kick them out of the membership. It is so bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 So Duncan Castles say indications from the PL are that they'll make their decision this week. But speaking to the buyers, they haven't heard that. So basically he doesn't know if it's true or not. My gut feeling is that it will be rejected, challenged, and the buyers will make the necessary steps to satisfy the PL by officially dealing with the piracy issues. Before eventually getting approved. But who fucking knows any more! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially from both buyers and Ashley. This is a unique situation so I wouldn't be surprised if it ended in court. Another thing the PL will be considering. Because if their is a case and the PL lose, that would set a precedent that could effectively end the owners and directors test outside of the basic tests requires by UK law.

I suspect the legal advice that the PL receive won't be clear cut, but will say that there are no legal constraints against accepting the deal, but it may be subject to challenge. In which case, I think the PL will accept the deal, and it'll then boil down to whether the Qataris are able and motivated to mount a challenge. I'm not sure under what legal mechanism they'd be able to do that, and how far the burden of proof would fall on them. Trouble is, money is no object, and this could drag on for a long time.

Chris_R Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Nah, they just had to do something before Saturday. They were playing a brinkmanship game, hoping that it would be someone else's problem before the match kicked off, but now the deadline has got too close for comfort and they've had to blink.
