SUPERTOON Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Aye that's promising, the positivity in me says it's a direct response to that particular line of questioning in the O&D test. What line of questioning ? Well they have no doubt been getting questioned about the piracy/copyright etc...and i think (hope) this is a direct response to that, a way of appeasing the Premier League and showing that they're doing something about it. Hopefully, it would certainly make sense, I can’t see them shutting this down if it was being rejected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 That’s the most positive news this takeover has had in about 2 months. The pendulum has swung back to it actually happening now. It’s no more than a token gesture to keep BeIN quiet while this is announced, imminently I would guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I really cannot see the PL rejecting PIF buying a club now they own shares in one of the PL's biggest partners, especially on piracy grounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morpeth mag Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Mark Douglas saying buying shares in BT less relevant. He's right (for a change) in the short term as the piracy crackdown hopefully enables the nufc purchase to complete. In the longer term there is a synergy between buying football clubs, buying sports TV rights (they have just bought Serie A from next year) and a stake in a media company like BT.

I'd just say it's just a commercial decision to invest in BT, it's a huge organisation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Does anyone know what percentage of the company they are buying? I mean it’s not going to mean much if it’s like 1%, but if it’s 10% or more then that’s a pretty big stake they will own. They can think again if they think this means I’ll get an EE contract though, not a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can think again if they think this means I’ll get an EE contract though, not a chance. Anything over 5% and they would have to notify the exchange. So it’s less than that. They have been buying up shares for a few weeks now though. I don’t think it’s as significant as the piracy crackdown announcement though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
