Ben Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Ashley will be preying for the takeover he can't risk another season like this one and if Bruce is still here with him next season he can kiss goodbye to full stadiums Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 5 hours ago, Billy Pilgrim said: looks to me like a coordinated attempt at derailing the deal again from plastic sports journalists. Which means someone knows it’s back on and close. I bet it’s Liverpool who are dead against it. The Times ran an article today about Boris Johnson getting directly involved last year, that too in the main news section, not the sports. There wasn't really much in there that we didn't already know, but it did seem to be implying there was something seedy about Boris getting involved so maybe a pro-PL/Big 6 stance taken by the writer.

Jackie Broon Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I think it's more likely that angle is being picked up due to the other lobbying stories running at the moment than anything to do with the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated above, there are sections of the media who are dead against this going through. The only article worth taking any notice of is the Jason Burt one from the Telegraph a couple of days ago. That tells you the truth about where the deal is at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 It’s confirmed they are still in for us when all that stuff came out about the arbitration the other week, basically it all rides on that and any story coming out until then is not worth reading imo.

I’ll be expecting the usual suspects to bring the same level of objections if this comes off. If it’s about sport washing then this is no different. Why should we be penalised whilst they are allowed to get involved in other sports. All this rubbish about actually owning a club being different is bollocks. I’ll be over the fucking moon when it’s announced and won’t feel any guilt at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
