You hear nothing for so long you start to wonder if it's even a thing any more. Feels like one of the main strategies has been to make public as much as possible about the PL's practices. Pulls them up on their corruption and I don't see how this is detrimental to us at all. For me, it's been released from a position of strength. "Why the need to hide?" is what we're asking, because everything done towards the takeover was above board and the cunts running the league know it. Anyways, good fodder before everyone focuses back on the Euros tomorrow. Edited July 1, 2021 by The Bonk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of what that click-baiting fool thinks, I'd like full transparency on all of this too. He's an embarrassing state of a human, let alone journalist.

They never will so it highlights how underhanded they have been, if they had football and its fans as their main focus they would be open about it.

Don't think we can draw conclusions from it at this stage. They were never going to say yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then what's the problem playing it out in public? Let them see WHY the takeover hasn't gone through and let them see that we aren't corrupt etc! Surely the PL would want to prove their squeeky clean image? This statement is putting more pressure on them. That's a good thing for us. The more pressure from any angle the better.

But if they are 100% innocent all this noise is damaging their brand and image. They absolutely do not want that and the perfect response would be to let people see they are not at fault. I mean it's like an innocent person being questioned with a murder charge sit there and say "no comment" to everything.

No fucker apart those very very close to this have no idea what this means. The cynic in me is it's Mike Ashley just reminding fans that he wants this done, however as other have said rightly it could be putting more pressure on the PL.

Wandy Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 That statement reads like a warning to me. Get this over the line or the whole shit show will end up in the public domain. Notice how government intervention and the recent handling of the ESL is prominently mentioned. Reads to me like Ashley saying he has the ear of the government.
