I pirate Premier League TV through my Amazon Firestick, as well hundreds of thousands of others no doubt. Amazon literally make no attempt to block these illegal apps that you can download onto your firestick which you can basically do in under a minute. They are one of the Premier Leagues broadcasting partners yet they still don't make any attempt to stop you doing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never read the article mate haven’t got an Athletic subscription anymore. Caulkin is close to Staveley so I presume she would know if arbitration had begun.

He is most definitely to be taken seriously. People like to claim he got made a fool of in the summer but he didn't. He reported the situation as Amanda understood it - he's said numerous times that he has contact with her - and then the takeover was Grand Old Duked. I do think he's erred on the side of caution though since the summer and he seems less willing to speculate. If he's putting out dates now he's most likely got good reason for believing so. Depressing. EDIT: Having re-read Geroge's quote in context, I don't think he's saying Spetember. I think it just means "as thing stand, without an arbritration hearing", but now we know a hearing is likely to happen soon. Meltdown averted.

Rocker Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Arbitration (or even an agreement before arbitration) won't take place before we're mathematically safe. If we were sitting comfortably in the table, we would've had a resolution either way. As soon as it was probable (or even likely) we were going to be relegated, everything was paused. Pointless for two very expensive legal teams fighting for a PL takeover when it may not even be necessary. Edited April 16, 2021 by Rocker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bulk of the newspapers picked up where they left off with the “Killer Saudi Prince” thing. Someone has to have been feeding them new information that they’d bother running with this again. Id say that’s what the reference is to. One thing I did notice though was that the consortium/club were very naive in terms of using the press. They should have been running with a corruption theme to muddy the waters and put pressure on the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you run with a theme of corruption, especially using the press to do so, you’d better be sure you’ve got evidence to back you up surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When have the media ever needed evidence to run with a story? Whether MBS is guilty as sin about the Journalist, there’s fuck all evidence, like physical evidence. That he ordered and facilitated it, but that doesn’t stop the press from calling him a killer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 It is the application of the PL O&D test that is under question. If we drop down to the championship then any takeover would not be subject to the PL test. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
