gjohnson Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I'm struggling to comprehend how nothing has leaked out anywhere. Someone always does regardless of NDAs. A few too many shandies from the right person and everyone knows everything. Maybe nothing is actually happening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 My feeling is the PL simply tell all parties that due to Covid the test progress is postponed the season ends. The real intention is unknown but that’s why every parties are in the dark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing in Football at any level anywhere suggests top professionals are involved....whether it be Qatari slave masters buying a world cup and letting half their workforce perish in the sun, or makems knowingly letting a paedo play for them, or our very own delightful owner trying to justify his business as essential during a plague Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 No Saudi sponsor then Well that's very strange if the takeover is still on. Which if this news is anything to go by it may not be. All the news from the last week has been ominous, despite a section of fans wanting to spin anything as a positive. As opposed to some who want to spin everything as negative ? Not pointing fingers like. You though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I think the longer it's gone on, the more it's felt like the end of the season is kind of the most sensible time to announce their decision. It means less disruption all round I suppose. Not that it wouldn't have saved everyone a load of hassle doing it before now, it's probably just cleaner to wait. That said, I'm basing that on nothing other than my own opinion today (previously I've been as keen to get it done as the next man!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manorpark Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Having just yawned through the Brighton game on Sky, this season has to mark the end of the Ashley/Bruce era. For everyone's sanity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Ive long since given up buying club merchandise and even going to st james park. If this takeover doesnt go through i think ill just give up on football altogether. Just like our players today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 3 weeks since Masters said he hopes that this is concluded “shortly”, then. Wonder if they have been working on the test every day or whether it is shelved? Fuck knows what they’re doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishMagpie Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Chris Waugh from the Athletic saying "on hold" is best way to describe it just now. Talks about "current inertia".

Ameritoon Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Here's what he said. Nothing much. In terms of the takeover, things are just "on hold" would be the best way of describing it. It is still with the Premier League and the answer has yet to arrive. We have a piece, hopefully going out in the morning, which basically talks about the inertia which has taken hold. The takeover has yet to be ratified or rejected. As things stand, it remains with the Premier League and nobody beyond a few select people there knows what happens next. The prospective buyers, as they have throughout, remain confident, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 It can't just 'fizzle out' though. As typical as it would be. I agree but if it falls through, do we feel like we'd get a full story or just a "they failed the O&D test" ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
