Guest neesy111 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Us potentially becoming one of the big boys has really ruffled some feathers. The bitter cunts are out in force and because they can hide behind a worthy cause this will get more air time than it really should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Sheffield United have a Saudi prince as an owner. Highly doubt this Amnesty stuff will change s*** There is no way the Royal family will go through with this without being 100% sure. They would not want to look stupid in the media. Where was Amnesty when they tried to buy Man United or Liverpool though, seriously. Sheffield United have a Saudi prince as owner, however they aren't owned by the Saudi government. Amnesty have only come out today, when we're almost finished the deal. Man Utd/Liverpool never got nearly as close as this. Are we seriously trying to suggest now that Amnesty International are also biased against Newcastle? He's still part of the extended royal family, government and royal family are the same thing there. I'm not trying to suggest bias but where was the outcry from them at Qatar being granted the World Cup? The UAE takeover of City? Chinese and Russian involvement in football? Did I miss something?

Not sure which rock you were under but there's been huge outcries at Qatar being given the World cup. Multiple reports on human rights of stadium building there, corruption which took down lots of people at FIFA etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The Premier League won't give a fuck what empty promise Bein give. Bein aren't going to just turn their back on the Premier League, they needs to broadcast it as much as possible, they need football, the country needs football. It's the reason why they bought PSG, and a reason why they have been linked with Leeds, and possibly set to buy them as soon as they gain promotion. Even if Bein did go through with this promise, theirs Amazon, DAZN, and whatever PIF or other middle eastern countries sports channel there is, ready to replace them. The Premier League could open a streaming platform for the middle east overnight if it was too much of a problem. I can't help but feel that this is just an article being made out of hairy hands rant earlier today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I think the beIN intervention is likely the death knell for the deal.

You do realise that theirs nothing in their D&O test which suggests this could scupper deal don’t you? If they rejected this deal because of beIN writing a letter, the Premier League could be sued for a lot of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
