The German article he links further down I assume suggests that there is some Saudi backing somewhere along the line for the ESL, but it's paywalled so nee idea. So Edwards let Slater have the scoop, if there was a scoop to be had.....nah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Edwards is a mouth breather and I don't pay attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 The article literally only says "the initial investment flowed from Saudi Arabia". Doesn't say PIF, doesn't say anything to do with anybody in government or anything whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepharite Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 PIF have their money in so much it would be hard not to find some connection to them. It's an investment fund. PIF have money in Amazon, rumoured to have been approached to broadcast the ESL. This is just mischief making again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 The takeover/arbitration and the ESL have no direct connection though do they? Maybe I'm missing something. The PL are doing fuck all about the 6 clubs so what is the worry ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Don't think you are missing anything, looks like Slater putting 2 and 2 together and getting 597. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaymag Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Big news from Saudi Arabia.......they are running out of sand and have been nicking sand from Brighton.

Whitley mag Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I mean this seems completely left field from Slater. Saudi backing of the club World Cup killed the deal now ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 That’s clearly not Edwards’ news like. I hate him as much as anyone but I love how everyone immediately ignores his information if it’s negative about the takeover Lap up some ITK from a random forum who knew one statement was going to be put on our website, but not a journalist who has sadly got more right than wrong about this takeover.

Stifler Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Having a negative outlook doesn’t make him ITK when things don’t go right. I don’t think Edwards has broken or been partial to any news during this takeover saga, he has just displayed an overall negative outlook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what he is actually saying is 'I've not said anything about KSA money being behind the Super League, killing the NUFC deal, but KSA money was behind Infantino's 2019 CWC plan'. It was just confusingly written. Although, he then goes on to completely contradict himself by saying the SL would have been KSA backed.

Rocker Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Who gives a fuck what he was referring to. He's hasn't the foggiest. Why would anyone liaise with this cunt? During the Bruce presser, he was told off for being in bed while asking his questions. Astonishing. Edited April 23, 2021 by Rocker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) A lot of takeover noise happening again. From tiny bit ive just read on this page, so the Saudis are getting the blame for the super league is that right? Let me guess, the big 6 clubs will get away Scot free? All the Saudis fault. The media in this country is fucking laughable. Edited April 23, 2021 by Scoot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
