Paulie Walnuts Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The Times story worries me, after all of the elation tonight. Would be so typical. Hopefully i'm just being a fanny and there's nothing to worry about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 We are going to get stories like this now till whenever this reaches a conclusion. On the plus side I can’t see how the bidders won’t have seen this as a possible question to overcome before agreeing everything so surely won’t be an issue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Surely if the criteria of the fit and proper person test are met and the deal has been greed then no amount of objection from Amnesty or BeIn or whoever else could actually stop it. There's a process and if it's followed and adhered to then it's done. I get the Amnesty objection mind I must admit. They shouldn't just let this pass through without raising their voices, that's the whole point of the organisation, it's fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackandWhite Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 This is how it’s going to be from now on? An us versus them world. The media has always hated our club and wanted it that way. Now there a real possibility of us going back fighting at the top early 00’s and 90’s style; that hate will be amplified again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 So can they legitamately pin this piracy shit on the PIF or the Saudi Government? Trevor down the local was streaming a game, doesnt mean the UK Government was involved. It's much bigger than that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeoutQ This exists here just not called BeoutQ. I may know someone who has such devices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I would imagine with all the money they have floating around they would at least have done some research on the PL tests and what is required. Imagine if old Hairy Hands and his cronies chuck a spanner in the works Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Times starts headlining last minute block attempt stories, you know there is a concerted push to stop it at the final hurdle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The thing is that the piracy stuff probably had much more of a chance of making an impact than the human rights stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 It's probably the most worrying thing we've seen in the last week just because it's one of the largest official broadcast partners saying it, but it feels way too late in the game for it matter. It's surely already been considered by all sides, too, so I don't think it being an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

number9shirt Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 This piracy thing all started in June 2017 the same month Mohamed bin Salman became crown prince. Looks like we've got a new rivalry, on & off the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBingo Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Don't see how it fits in any way with the fit and proper owners tests, which looks at the financial/criminal pasts of the named potential owners, which would be Staveley, the Reubens and the PIF guy.

Facundo Ferreyra Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Do they have any proof that the Saudi government is complicit in the BeoutQ stuff? Surely they'd need that if they want the takeover to be blocked because of it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
