r0cafella Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Wouldn’t they have to discover a direct link between PIF and the illegal streaming service for this to hold any water? I find it hard to imagine a direct link between the two honestly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I think the fact that Bruce has commented on the takeover having previously refused to do so is significant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Heard from a solid source that the reason the PL check is taking so long is they've had to tweak the VAR code to let us win loads of decisions in anticipation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirtleyMag Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Still no real reliable sources saying this is close to being done like. Mark Douglas did say yesterday that it’s likely there would be some sort of media embargo if an announcement was due. I’m sure we’ll find out more in the next couple of days.

Toonjam88 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Martin Hardy going against the grain by writing in the Times today that the PL checks will rumble on into the 6th week as they are studying new evidence which puts a direct link with piracy and the new owners, and also growing concerns from other clubs about the deal. I don't know if he's just writing it to be contrary, but just putting it out there. Article is here if anyone has a subscription to post it. From the little bits you can see it seems just like another rehash to me - https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/premier-league-rivals-raise-concerns-over-saudis-newcastle-united-deal-z0dtpgmlv Notice they make you register to read the rest. It’s click bait to get people to do this and then they will probably get 20% who will forget to cancel and get charged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRL Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Absolutely nothing new, but asked a Saudi broker their view: From an Arsenal fan’s perspective, I hope it doesn’t go through.. we need to stay in the top half of the table at any cost! On a serious note, there is a lot of hype on the ground and it seems it will go through. If you look at the Kingdom’s investments in the international market as of late (PIF increasing stakes across), it is likely they follow through and it materializes. From a geopolitical standpoint, Qatar’s sudden backlash on the issue might be an extra incentive to make it happen! The Sheffield United experience has brought extra attention to the league from a local base who are already fanatics of the game, and I personally believe the noise materializes! Let’s wait and see!

Pilko Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Brucey making a plea to the prospective new owners is surely significant. He always refused to be drawn on it up to now and you'd think he'd be scared of a bollocking from Ashley for commenting on it unless he'd heard that he'd more or less gone.

Guest awaymag Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 They're reporting that someone else is reporting that someone else has reported something. Well done them. Unbelievable isn't it. One reporter posts something and then within 12 hours, most of the other papers report it and so it looks like its happened. Actually, its still just one source. World of social media is screwed man. I only went on Twitter for the takeover news but soon deleted Twitter, its a cess pit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
