Let’s hope old Mauriss is legit. We are gonna need a sloppy second to come in after this shit show. All hail our new overlord Henry.

 

Wey knar, our new sandy saviours will come through

Not arsed whether he is legit or not, I’m done if this doesn’t go through. Ideal opportunity for the football club and the city to move forwards taken away from us. The Yank Stewy Donald can get to fuck.

Just wait, good old Henry has promised a charm offensive to get the fans on side.

 

He's a fraud, a Qatari patsy, a penniless nobody chancer with less means to buy this club than Stewart Donald. The only way he affords us is with leveraged debt.

 

It will be worse than Ashley, by several orders of magnitude. We will, to coin a phrase, "do a Leeds".

Citing Israel as a precedent.

 

Did not see that coming.

 

Did BeIN expect to be covering Israel when they bid for this though only to have the rights taken away later, or did they already know the rights there would be done separately? I don't know the answer to this but it's an important question if that's the example they're citing.

 

I just can't grasp the stupidity of the Saudis here, in getting right to the brink of getting this over the line and then rather than just waiting to do this shit, they decide to pull a stunt like this just out of petulance. Dumb as a bunch of fucking rocks.

That's it then. The shop is closed. Everything is set how it is now.

Nobody else can come in and compete. Waste of time and money to get involved now for the good of a club, only to benefit the owners from owning clubs making up the numbers in the PL. The sheer glory of that. That's why we all fell in love with football.

Man City are locked in as the dominant force. 30 games of attack versus defence a season like the game that's just finished. Exciting and yet more glory.

Good thread here.....looks like the beginning of the end for me.

Not sure who he is an how he is disclosing such seemingly detailed information but it doesn't make for good reading.

What’s to stop Saudi coming to an monetary agreement with Israel to Legally use their broadcast stream, thus bypassing the problem with Bein?

Nothing, the Saudis could then legally broadcast PL matches in Israel, to Israelis.

 

Not sure how this addresses the matter at hand though?

The matter in hand seems to keep harping back to bein being blocked so the Saudis have no way to watch the PL which seems to be the main PL problem, an agreement with Israel bypasses that problem

How? The Israelis are only allowed to broadcast in Israel. :lol:

 

That's all their agreement covers. They can't broadcast that anywhere else. They can't sell the rights to broadcast in Saudi Arabia, because that's BeIN's territory.

What I find strange is why didn't Ben Jacobs put this out there before the mirror or Edwards articles?  Why is that when one journalist writes a negative piece, suddenly another writes a twitter thread with details of this and that.  Very strange indeed!

Interesting from Jacobs. I think if the termination of beIN had been so detrimental it'd have been rejected by now though.

 

Maybe they've asked the Saudis to do something, and they're not doing it. That seems to be what Jacobs is intimating.

 

So they either do as needed, or eventually it'll be rejected. We're in the "We'll give you time to get this sorted" stage right now.

Jacobs always seems pretty clued up but I’m always wary due to bein connection. Must admit his tweet about 100 mp’s wanting to block the deal has me worried slightly. I’m unsure how he would have that information though and seems a bit far fetched.

 

Confidence has certainly been knocked today, however I still don’t think we can be sure which way this heading just yet.

As a former beIN employee I would imagine many of his sources would be within beIN. Who knows if their delibrately feeding him negative spin to destabilise the bid.

It won’t be rejected and if it does there will be the mother of all legal appeals that will eventually unmask the farce that is the PL’s fit and proper owners test and every other corruptness within the organisation. Masters is way out of his depth politically and won’t survive this if they do not pass the takeover. It will happen, there is a stalemate right now, Saudi are in a take it or leave it mode, wanna go to court, PL don’t want to piss off others, Saudi have the upper hand and it’s the PL who are in a bit of a pickle right now.

 

They will bend eventually, legally they have no other option than to pass it or get taken to the cleaners legally. They like the corrupt scum they are, are just trying to extort as much as they can for themselves like the gangsters they are out of the deal, they don’t care about piracy, their partners, NUFC or some bogus fit and proper owners test and the Saudis see this, resent this and are in a fuck you mode! Patience for us fans - it will be concluded soon, one way or another. I’m again still 100% confident!
