Ketsbaia Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Oh definitely. Maybe the offer will still come, as the ESL continue to struggle adding more clubs. May as well invite the Saudis. Or maybe the PL now waves this bid through with a plea to buy as many Man United, Man City and Liverpool players as possible, in an act of revenge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I think there was something earlier on that we had suggested we would support and nobody was quite sure why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghodoussi has said that he’s against the plans. I can’t imagine he would say that without the backing of PIF. I also don’t think they would be in a hurry to sign up to a league created by the 6 clubs who have came out and tried to prevent our takeover in the Premier League. You know they would turn on us instantly. Edited April 20, 2021 by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) I can't help but think this is the perfect time for them to takeover. Not only concerning us with regarding our historic problems with Ashley, but after everything that's happened in the last few days, If these came in and instantly formed good relationships with fan groups and legends of the club, they would be seen as heroes. They have the finances to secure our safety for the future, but if they came in and did everything on board regarding the fans, that would be absolutely massive for their reputation.

Aye mate, Inter’s price before the ESL was announced was £300m for 10%, valuing the club at £3bn. Now with the ESL the value will rocket and their current owner may no longer be in such a hurry to sell. On top of this is Inter keep trying to force through the ESL it is going to result in years of court cases, possibly including compensation to Serie A, and their place in Serie A and UEFA completions in meantime is going to be under question. And we think our takeover would be complicated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Pundit Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I'm not keen on venturing in to this thread but I think my latest thoughts on the takeover are starting to warrant it. I have this horrible feeling that the renewed focus on club ownership caused by this whole superleague situation is going to blow our takeover out of the water. Allowing another foreign multi-billionaire group to come in and take charge of an English club could well cause further uproar from neutrals. I wouldn't be surprised if it was blocked on the grounds of a tighter ownership test being reviewed and implemented... bloody typical of our luck yet again!!!

Like you, I read but don’t post in this thread because so far I’ve felt very positive that the outcome of our takeover would eventually be successful. However I’m also of the opinion that the whole ownership situation could well change and put the kibosh on our takeover. I look forward to some good news that will alter my change of heart...I’m still positive but wavering.....sorry Whitley and ManorPark? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I'm wrong, but it would not suprise me if PIF do go for Inter (without Staveley/Reubens) if this super league does go ahead. They have an immediate seat at the table then. As I said hope I'm wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
