1964 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 The Chairman of PIF - who is also involved with golf - met with the government AND the Premier League on Thursday in London, to try and get the deal done Are we taking that as a bad sign that he has had to try and get involved to get this done ? Think it's the opposite to be honest Agreed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Cheers Golfmag. I take that to mean they're probably just fed up of how long it's taking and that meeting face-to-face might actually speed things up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Because if they are meeting government as well as the FA I suspect there can't be many major stumbling blocks and will be diplomatically asking what the hold up is given the concessions they have already made regarding piracy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More a sign of desperation I suppose more than negative, I mean surely they have spoke to him numerous times already given how long this has been going on.

r0cafella Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I’m sure from the Saudi perspective they are frustrated. It’s not often someone wishes to invest large sums of money into the country and it’s met with such resistance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
