Dokko Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I’ve given up on this takeover Looks like I was right, ksa will be watching PL football next season and not through Bein. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 They can’t agree a tv deal with them whilst this one is still running. Surely they aren’t buying us whilst not being able to watch us. If the Premier League agree to take Saudi as its own broadcast region and agree to compensate BEIN for their region being reduced in size it could perhaps be possible to do it now. As BEIN would still keep their MENA TV deal at a reduced rate, just speculating of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_F Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I’ve given up on this takeover Can't believe the PL would just 'rip up a deal'. Seems like fantasy to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 No way would the PL be able to rip up the deal they have now. Maybe Bein threw their toys out the pram and didn't follow through on their side when this all kicked off. They stopped showing games for serie a, maybe did something along the lines that broke the PL contract. Sure thry threatened to withhold money at one point as well.

Wilson Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 After having no clue about what is happening throughout this shit storm, but being confident it was going through, I'm now clueless about whether I'm confident it's going through. This is fun. Reading through the tweets, I was about 70% it's the Saudi's spitting their dummy out, until I saw that Slater tweet. Well, I suppose it's made the thread interesting for the first time in weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it would legally be as easy as that though. Maybe not if BEIN refused to accept the situation. But they'd be mad to do so, since right now they get 0 revenue from Saudi. Some compensation from losing a country they make nothing from would be a no brainer. Meanwhile the entire issue of Qatar and Saudi squabbling over TV rights goes away and the PL lose no money. Of course just because it would make sense doesn't mean its happening.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 If beIN didn’t know about this until now there’s no way that they’ll strike a deal to allow it. Hopefully they did know what was coming and Keys knew about it yesterday. The timing has to be significant, if they’ve been rejected then the PL can forget about piracy being resolved and will get much much worse. Good things don’t happen to our club so I’m currently in the it’s off camp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
