Dokko Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Another one trying to stop this happening: https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/national/18403083.government-urged-not-sit-bench-proposed-newcastle-takeover/ An MP from Sheffield...I wonder if Sheffield United is anything to do with this one. Possibly not but you never know. Had a quick search and I can't find any other examples of him being vocally against Saudi Arabia, seems a bit of a random thing to be troubling him so much tbh. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1436390/Commons-to-bar-MP-over-Brazilian-escort.html These whiter than white types at it again.

Armchair Pundit Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Without direct links to Ashley I may be a little more acceptable of Steve Bruce keeping on til the end of the season and maybe even including him in the club to some capacity going forward. I don't think he's got the tactical or studious ability that we'll need playing to a higher level but he probably does bring some motivation to the club and perhaps would help encourage the playing staff towards the more localised link and love of the club. That said, I could just be being soft because I keep hearing examples of how he's such a nice bloke This is a perfect example of how propaganda can get to someone Lol, you're totally right, I know what it is too - I'm thinking he could be the new Terry Mac, putting the cones out and nipping to the bookies for the players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Can't believe the illegal streaming thing is an issue. The amount of people in the UK that participate in illegal internet-based activities is utterly absurd. Reminds me of Salford City's dodgy box in their club house It's not illegal internet streaming. It's hijacking the transmission broadcasts of Bein and then broadcasting as their own with beoutQ branding. Correct me if I’m wrong. SA nor PIF is accused of doing this themselves*, but SA is accused of not policing it hard enough, right? * last court case to this effect in France came to nothing, so I doubt the PL can assume direct involvement as a ground for not passing the O&D test Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 New non executive chairman appointed to the PL who worked for Barclays. Jobs for the boys for sure, but I did wonder if Amanda Staveleys case against the bank might come under scrutiny in relation to this guys affiliations. Hopefully the deal is done before he gets his teeth into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Feel 100% more confident that this thing will go through. I think the deal as taken as much as it can throw at it and once the dust settles it will get signed off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they didn't win in France however EU did release a report in January about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I don’t think the test says anything about the proposed owner or director “doing enough against” piracy does it? It just says something about not having been actively involved in what effectively amounts to IP theft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow ticker on sky sports news right now, I hadn’t really seen much about it before now. I’m not suggesting that he was part of her complaint, more so that he has allegiance to his former colleagues maybe? I hope not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can they find definitive proof that any of the company directors are directly part of any illegal broadcasting?, as that is what has to be established before they can use that to fail the premier league fit and proper persons test.
