toontownman Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 No chance is Bein going to stop buying PL rights if this is succesfull. As if Amazon, SKY or a billion others wouldn't jump in before they could finish saying "We are out". Complete empty threats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie 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. Apparently there is part of it to do with illegal broadcasts, bizarrely. It was posted earlier today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Wonder who is going to come out the woodwork next, licking up a stink. Feel it’s going to snowball and every fucker and their dog are going to have a say. You do know the Saudi regime have lots of enemies because they are an awful regime..... Yeah, their biggest one is those paragons of virtue, Iran. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 beIn is a Qatari organization. (Rival to KSA). PL could just make a conditional approval that the PIF work with KSA to remedy this issue with BEIn. It’s not always black and white. Now if the KSA say no. Other thing.

Numbers Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Unless there have been convictions etc. surely Bein writing to the PL is a complete waste of time. Wasn't me Guvnor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 As the financial times video today says, the premier league saying and making a statement that the Saudis are not proper owners of a football club would be a diplomatic and political incident they won't want any part of.

Guest godzilla Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Can the Premier League prove that either Staveley, the Reubens or PIF are directly involved that's the question. If not then this has no bearing by the articles within the Fit and Proper Ownership Test. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I think people have got to bare in mind that this takeover represents literally the most significant investment in the PL itself. They will not turn this amount of investment away. Better players = Better TV deals = More money for the PL EDIT: I have been wrong many times before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE 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. BeIn is tied in with the owner of PSG. They’ve tried before in France to block SA money without success. Case was thrown out.

I didn't even realize it was about Bein in the middle East, thought it was just talking about Bein tv's rights deals in general, so I am twice the idiot you thought. Point still stands though. If Bein pulled out 10 more companies would gladly jump in to snap up the rights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
