The Prophet Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Or possibly they're waiting to see if they have given them it? Eh? How can the PL be waiting to see if the PL have recieved something? They just check the post surely? The only nugget of consolation, is that I think MA would have been making a lot of noise if there was a statement. If no progress was being made whatsoever, he would have kicked up a fuss or even pulled put of the deal on the grounds it was hurting his business. Not that he gives a fuck. As in they're waiting to see if they've implemented piracy measures they've recommended, for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its beyond reasonable for the PL to play politics to that level, whilst ducking about with our future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Nothing to suggest that that's what's going on though, except your own conclusions. If the Saudis don't meet the requirements, they should have been failed and allowed an appeal process (which basically would have been a combination of 2 and 3), but it doesn't appear that's what is happening at all. There was no way this could pass in its initial format, so we should be grateful the PL seem to be giving Saudi Arabia a chance to satisfactorily put its house in order. If and when they do that to the PLs satisfaction, this passes. If they fail to do that, this fails. But nobody is just sitting round day after day going "You know what, I'm still not sure. Let's have another look at it tomorrow lads!" Each to their own, but I reckon that's more or less what is happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo_11 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Professor Simon still reckon there's no chance they want to buy us then? I read it as the UK Government are likely to indicate for it to be approved with the Premier League being seen to placate those shareholders that could be impacted by this. Similar to when the UK announced sanctions around human rights, but then agreed arms sales that would go back to June 2019 (basically a sense of showing that there is something to be done against a heinous crime, but then still accept financial support from Saudi). It's all a mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
