Decky Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I'm really not sure the EFL would approve it tbh. There'd be pressure behind the scenes to follow in the PL's footsteps incase we get promoted, and lets be honest, we'd be back after one season.

Happinesstan Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 they should be referred to as the Favorite 6 rather than the big 6- just look at the way the games are refereed for the favored 6. That's some commitment from you there. ?? going have to explain what that refers to there like. It's just a joke about how you began by stating they should be referred to a the favourite 6, and by the end of the statement you yourself were referring to them as something different.

mouldy_uk Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I’m struggling to comprehend why any other team in the league gets a say in this. How do takeovers usually happen? Exactly, the other teams shouldn't get a say as surely by its nature every takeover should in theory strengthen that team, so no other team in that league is going to be in favour of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even so, it’s not part of the test so should be ignored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has changed things though, people and fans are being made aware of the level of corruption that exists with the EPL and other Top 6 clubs. If it changes anything that's to be seen but the correct information it's getting out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing they want is the threat of gravy train going off the rails. I don’t think some tweets represents any fundamental change personally.

Joe_F Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 The Newcastle saga looks set to run on for some time. There is only one thing all sides can agree on: this is not a fit and proper situation for any club. Damn right. Decent enough article which actually bothers to mention the petition.

Whitley mag Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 If PIF had offered a billion pound for spurs do we think the deal would have been waived through. That ultimately for me is the question here, because I think we all suspect it would. I agree nothing has changed fundamentally in the PL’s position at present, however all we can do is try and apply pressure. There might be a nice shock awaiting the PL shortly in the way of legal action by buyers or sellers, we just don’t know yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 The key is the PL in fact has no grounds to reject the test. That’s why they tried to delay the decision till the end of the world. That’s a dirty move. The rationale behind does not matter. That shouldn’t affect the test, which is why the PL can’t reject. As I have mentioned, they are playing with fire. Once PIF and KSA escalate this to national level and as a stand off with Qatar (which a lot here have predicted) they would not hold back anymore. Money is no longer the question or consideration. Legal proceedings and country level trade deals would become the new battlefield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s obvious the power certain clubs hold over the PL - can you imagine how nervous they would feel in the event of a power shift to the NE? Would terrify them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 There’s a petition with over 70000 signatures on it and there’s hardly a mention in the media. It’s a disgrace, 70k voices wanting at least some recognition that the fans and the region have been treat with contempt, what do we get; more contempt.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I wish we got a say in 2003 when Abramovich was about to buy Chelsea when they were in mountains of debt with their only signing the previous year being De Lucas on loan. We might have finished top 4 in 04 and continued to grow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
