Montey Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 This is getting announced today. I can feel it. They probably need to get the announcement done as soon as they can so that the virtue-signalers lose any real traction. As long as the impression exists that the takeover could, in any potential way, be impacted then the vested interests will continue their attacks. Once it has been confirmed and the Companies House records changed to reflect the takeover, the virtue-noise will settle down (it won't go away completely, but the news-media will move on).

STM Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 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? Here. The UAE takeover of City? Chinese and Russian involvement in football? Did I miss something? Here and here Out of interest did they write to the Premier League when Fosun took complete control of Wolves? China have arguably a worse HR record than SA. I can't find anything. Do you think the British state own Newcastle United currently? This shite needs to be kept in the other thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Mid May. The apple cart is getting upset and the old school are dead against it. “How dare a little club up north end possible have so much potential?” It fucking stinks! And if it goes through I hope no one forgets the vitriol thrown at the fans during this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

veriaqa Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 My take on Bein: the test is almost done and the PL will approve it, so Bein try to sabotage it because of the reasons many people in here already said. Why now not two weeks ago or in January? Because two weeks ago the deal was far away from complete/the PL didn't do the test yet. When Bein saw the deal is approved then they try to sabotage it.

ExiledGeordie Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 The premier league can’t stop a deal because of advice/request from someone surely. That would open up a potential shit storm with this situation and set a precedent for future deals (and a litany of problems) and potential court cases. The deal has to be judged on the buyers specific criteria as set by the fit and proper persons test regardless of how effective this is seen as.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I don't think the PL will knock the deal back based on the concerns of a broadcaster. Regardless, they'll be chuffed if there's an indication a Saudi/Saudi-UAE company might cough up even more than Bein/Qatar. The PL is driven by money. It'll only be a good thing for them.

David Icke - Son of God Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 BeIN have been doing this thing with increasing regularity in recent years. They've made similar threats to La Liga and Serie A when they've got close to the Saudis. I think the PL would rather not have the hassle at this point, and if they could safely reject it they would. The question is do they think they have a strong enough case to win the inevitable court action and are they comfortable setting a precident on either moral grounds or by following orders from broadcasters/getting involved in geopolitics. I definitely think there's something in the suggestion that the PL will want it off their desk and could rubber stamp it sooner rather than later. Longer it goes on the worse the outlook.
