The Prophet Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Based on today's developments it appears one of the significant objections is no longer an issue. Other than that there's only the piracy that we know of. I think this will be waved through soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I just don’t see how other clubs have any say at all in this. because the premier league is a members club and everyone has an equal say on things (hence the problems in deciding anything about how a restart will work) Yeah but they don’t get a say in who owns another club surely. maybe not a direct say (I have no idea how they run things) but to pretend having some clubs expressing concerns or whatever would have no influence on the process is naive. Doubt its much out of concern of oh no super rich dude is coming in and more negative pr from being even remotely associated with SA and the piracy issue They would have to have legal reasons still to block it and as far as we know they haven’t so I’m guessing this will all still be irrelevant.

Guest awaymag Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The papers just don't have a clue man! Wasn't it Thursday last week when the latest rumour of delay hit the papers. Oh look its Thursday again. The pattern is on repeat until either the PremierLeague or NUFC make an announcement. If nothing is announced before the weekend, then the papers will write more shit to sell their Sunday papers and around we go again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing is announced before the weekend, then the papers will write more shit to sell their Sunday papers and around we go again It’s not even that they don’t know, they do know. All they are doing is trying to write an article to get clickbait. He’s knows what the article writes is false and being called out on it, he’s trying to change the wording to insinuate that it’s not on the grounds of new owners but legal grounds etc. He knows it’s bull and can’t pull the wool over people’s eyes so is trying to legitimise the article.

They're basically the Channel 4 of print media right now, fondly remembered as being a bit challenging and speaking truth to power back in the day, absolute sewage-pipes of fucking swill now.

Wilson Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 'there might be a few legal issues, depending on your view' What the fuck is that meant to mean?

Your view could be 'that's illegal' but the law says 'no its not', and that's the end of it.

My Silent Face Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 So 24 hours after yesterday's hysteria we are still no further forward and heading into another long weekend of silence. I will be genuinely shocked if this ever happens like. I'm already preparing myself for Ashley and Bruce next season. Just feels like this takeover isn't meant to be. I mean can anyone actually picture it happening!? Cold harsh truth is if this was going to happen it would have by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough Always assumed with stuff like this (epl checks with set rules) that it would be either legal or illegal. Don't know enough about it to be disagreeing.
