TRC Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I honestly think it’s as simple as the Saudis are simply refusing to do what the prem have asked and as such it’s a complete stalemate which suits the league as they hope it eventually fizzles out. Pretty much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the PL have received a nudge from the government to get this done and keep the Saudis trigger happy with their cash in this country, then PIF have played it perfectly. PL just stalling but they know this has to go through from pressure above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 If the Saudis haven’t given the PL what they want then just reject it you spineless b******s. There’s the hitch though does Masters dare reject it, I’m not convinced he does and that’s why I’ve still got hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 It’s a fair point and the reason I suspect it’s not been rejected yet. The PL will have to get it legally water tight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likelylad Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 The thing that really annoys me at present. One shithouse journo be it Bird, Edwards or whoever else reports something without any source or proof and then the rest of the rags follow suit to 1. Get clicks and 2 Give the bollocks their writing some semblance of credence. Rinse and repeat for nearly 20 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government want the Saudi money. They do not want the PL to piss off SA on any day, let alone now that we are in recession. Money comes first in everything, so that alone I can't see the PL wanting to reject this. There's just to much a stake even though that will never be made public of course.

jdckelly Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 basically this is years of payback for KSA ignoring the beoutq stuff and blocking any attempt to deal with it in a saudi court and nufc are the club caught in limbo in a geopolitical shitshow. This is why countries should not be allowed near fucking football clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 It’s a fair point and the reason I suspect it’s not been rejected yet. The PL will have to get it legally water tight They'll have to get it legally watertight to accept or reject the deal. I'd imagine they are shitting themselves realising their test wasn't fit for purpose and was really just for show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
