Guest godzilla Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 This is a positive. How? Don't see how the PL would be happy with this If they are getting rid of piracy and then getting new investment with a new deal, then I would say they would be happy with that. But they can’t legally get a new deal until the end of next season. Not if they have legally extracted their country from the regional territory, we can't comment on the legalities as we don't know them. Going to have to wait for more information to come out. Surely Bein can't pay the PL for rights for the whole region and then half way through the contract, suddenly the PL sell rights for one of those countries to a different network? It might have no bearing on the takeover but I can't see it being a positive No doubt they would have to be re compensated by the PL, but ultimately the PL will make more money out of it. Money talks and always will just look at Man City yesterday. The piracy issue would be gone also. Win Win, but we need more information to come out as today's announcement has been made for a big reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Even if the PL/KSA agreed to separate the country from MENA then pay BeIn the money lost, all happening without telling BeIn, seems like bad form to release a statement before BeIn's even made aware. Bein will be aware, they are just playing games. If they were aware it would be incredibly easy for the PL/Saudi to prove it and tell everyone they're lying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 it seems nonsensical to have such a war torn conflicted region have 1 individual rights holder too (imo). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morpeth mag Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 If BEIN have agreed to separate out KSA from the region they stand much more chance of winning the next TV rights bid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were aware it would be incredibly easy for the PL/Saudi to prove it and tell everyone they're lying I dont think its got to that stage of who said what yet, the news has just broken, and all we've had from a bein spokesperson (via a dodgy reporter) is that they didnt know about it. Now in my company when our top brass knock out a deal the spokesperson doesn't find out until the general press release is ready. They wouldn't have a clue what has been agreed at that level. KSA have been a little naughty here, in an attempt to embarrass Bein (they only announce things when its 100%), but they've done this on the solid knowledge it doesn't impact the takeover (IMO) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 If BEIN have agreed to separate out KSA from the region they stand much more chance of winning the next TV rights bid. Exactly. KSA want their region only. If they don't get it expect to bid for the entire region and Bein goes bye bye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bada Bing Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 One thing this move has done is ensure the PL can't just reject the deal and resume unscathed as if nothing has happened. The PL have to make this work, or they are facing a hefty loss of value on the MENA deal (now and later), unhappy clients and stakeholders (BEIN and PL clubs), and no prospect of solving the piracy issue in Saudi. I'm still hopeful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 This news today sort of ties in with Keys tweet admitting defeat yesterday. I think we're in the endgame now and it'll go through. Just a hunch and it's getting harder and harder to piece it all together when there's zero communication from any party. I think SA and the PL have been hatching this scenario for weeks whilst taking advice from the government too. Upsetting Qatar and beIn, knowing the Saudi's are willing to step in, is the least worst option to them. Maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, BeIN have done themselves no favours throughout this. Threats, strops, paid journos warring with fans and blackouts of fixtures, all the while PIF (and KSA) have reacted professionally.
