triggs Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 If the Government gets involved. Not going to happen but fail to see how that would be amusing ? They will get involved, it’s just that we’ll never get to know about it or the level of their involvement. I’ve also wondered, if PIF as an investment vehicle, were taking over a steelworks or any UK business that employed 1000’s of workers whether those who object to our takeover, on moral grounds, would be making so much noise, I somehow don’t think they would. Football clubs are not like other businesses Don’t get this argument it’s exactly what they are these days. How would them owning a football club, differ from Qatar owning a media network, for example to pedal their soft power ? So when you walk into St. James' Park and roar on the team, there's no difference between that and going into Greggs to buy a sausage roll? Football clubs are for the community, in many cases the only thing which unites a community and the whole city of Newcastle or Sunderland or wherever is defined by the football club. You grow up dreaming of playing for Newcastle, your dad brings you to watch the game every second Saturday, then eventually you bring your own children, and your entire mood in a weekend is based on the result of the game. If Bein went out of business tomorrow nobody would really care, if PSG went out of business tomorrow there would be riots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s all very romantic and in an ideal world we’d all like the german model. However, the premier league is all about business, hence why so many people have fallen out of love with it. I get what your saying, but I don’t believe when we talk about the government getting involved, they’ll see it as anything other than a business transaction.

wormy Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Zero chance the Gov try to stop this, they want it as much as us. And if they stop it they piss off the Saudis and they don't want that either No chance even they're that stupid to risk the kind of fall out it could cause.

TRon Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 No way are the government getting involved. You could argue they have already got involved by saying they have no objection to the Saudi deal. That's more or less giving it a green light in my book. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
