Whitley mag Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 1 hour ago, Scoot said: Yep. If the takeover/legal case falls apart and we're told we're better off with Ashley then that's me done with football as it proves corruption has won and that we'll never ever be allowed to compete at the top again. Yeah, you can just imagine the shite that will flow from Edwards and co. We’ll be told it was never going to happen and move on. Totally ignoring the bigger picture that we’ve been effectively stopped from competing due to a tv deal and a cartel at the top of English football. The separation argument is just a smoke screen, even Slater and Jacobs intimate that if Bein was restored and cases dropped things would be different. The whole thing is a charade and our club has been used as a pawn. This article shows you exactly why a higher Saudi bid for Champions League rights would have been vetoed in favour of Bein. https://theathletic.com/news/european-club-association-nasser-paris-saint-germain/thIM9A6OJiQb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Would love to know the source of that quote from Ashley saying "get ready within the next month" Absolutely preying that's genuine as if so, he's been told something big. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they can buy a world cup they can do anything, my only surprise is how quiet the Saudis have been with very little kick back from Qatari threats and accusations.

Could they not do so with a loan from PIF? How would that be different from people like those at the mackems, Man Utd and Burnley, buying the clubs with borrowed funds? The PL/EFL don’t ask the lenders to go through the O&D test, do they? Set the loan with an interest rate of 0% and PIF can use the loan to purchase 80% of shares once this whole faff has been resolved.
