Ikon Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 When exactly did this Masters dude become PL chief? He wasn't there in the beginning of all this was he? December 2019 but was interim CEO for a while before that. Cheers Gregg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 These are the people the premier league are allowing to block our takeover. I’m certainly not naive when it comes to the Saudis, but surely the premier league should be thinking twice about blocking a takeover based on submissions from this lot. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/feb/20/swiss-prosecutors-charge-psg-president-nasser-al-khelaifi-in-fifa-bribery-case Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest godzilla Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 These c*nts really are desperate From that FootballLaw article: There was no finding or identification that the KSA government or any individual was responsible for the broadcasting of beoutQ’s piracy but Qatar merely ‘established a prima facie case that beoutQ is operated by individuals or entities subject to the criminal jurisdiction of KSA’. If Qatar are basing the opinion on this report it certainly is desperate The opinion of a slik > a solicitor on twitter, although I'm sure PIF have Queen's Counsel giving exactly the opposite opinion. You're right but you also have to take into consideration that one is paid and represents BEIN whilst the other is independent. You're also right that PIF will have the Queen's Counsel saying the opposite also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 That Times tweet seems to me to be deliberately provocative in pointing out that the PL are basically allowing themselves to be pushed around by one of their partners. Not sure why, and a tweet doesn't leave much room for subtlety of expression or nuance so maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I'm sure that tweet is mentioning two separate things. It should be worded along the lines of: "The PL’s broadcast partner, beIN Sport, has submitted a QC’s opinion to league chiefs which states that the Saudi takeover of Newcastle United should fail the owners’ and directors’ test; in the meantime it emerged there could be another potential new owner waiting in the wings". I don't think that the QC is lobbying for the PL to reject the takeover BECAUSE there's a potential new owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not from Twitter, it's from the FootballLaw website, its written by a Barrister with experience in sports law. I'm sure other opinions can be found, I'm just saying that reading him go through the report in that article it's hard to see what in their is against the tests.
