Thumbheed Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Lotttt of belt-tightening measures going on in KSA at the moment so I still don't think it's a given that they'll be back in one way or another. Still, it'd be nice to see the PL dragged through the s*** for their handling of this whole affair. Wouldn't it be fair to say that this is not a frivolous purchase but a key part of MBS Vision2030 plan? Are they cutting back on this project too?

ScottishMagpie Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I get what you're saying. Just if taking them at their word (I know,I know!) that they are worried about influence of someone not listed on the Test. Just think their 'worried' bit is just bullshit. They want to to pin piracy on to MBS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 "The league are understood to feel that, with legal backing, the Saudi state could exert influence over the football club and would in effect be a ‘shadow director’." Extract form the Gazette article. This has been bubbling away in my head for awhile now.... So fucking what if MBS could control shit going on at NUFC? What is it that he could do that has them worried? If it's true that they are meant to redo the checks on every club every 12 months then this is how they tackle this potential problem. Approve the deal then in 12 months, if there seems to have been influence from MBS, then do something about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 The fact all directors nominated have already passed o & d certainly clears up why they were confident of approval last week. They’re clearly a hairs breath away from approval, let’s hope this threat of legal action sees us home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only every year, they can disqualify directors at any time 'upon becoming aware' of any disqualifying event. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Except they probably don’t review clubs every year. I agree but then that's the PL's problem, not ours. This is of course dependant on if it is actually written somewhere that they do re-check club's owners. They should do if they have to pass this test in the first instance.

Guest Cheesy Beans Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Ashley’s sole purpose of legal action is to try and force the sale - legal action is supported by the consortium. Compensation would be nominal and pointless in comparison to actually getting the sale through, which is what he wants/needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
