Scoot Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I was feeling positive that this could be resolved until I read this article. Quite sobering. http://www.true-faith.co.uk/takeover-who-is-to-blame/ If Piracy was the issue why didnt the PL reject the takeover after a month and why did they give them an unofficial nod of approval early on in the process? Something changed from an outside source (Bein, other PL clubs) and that's what it stinks of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Seems its destined to just fizzle into nothing again. We won't get anything from the premier league. Exactly this, they are waiting for this to all blow over and it will despite the brilliant efforts, PIF arent making much effort to get back on board and call them out mind , need them back at the table or this effort is a non starter There is no way PIF will play this out in public outside a proxy-war, and they have already started one.

Something changed from an outside source (Bein, other PL clubs) and that's what it stinks of. Because despite what keeps being posted. The piracy charge isn’t actual proven to be linked to either the Saudi state or the Pif. I imagine this is why they can’t reject it based upon this. It’s entirely possible the Piracy issue is the deal breaker mind but as it’s unproven rejecting due to this seems like a legal minefield hence the stasis.

GWN Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Surely after the now national exposure the PL would need to crawl out of their hole if the Saudis get back to the table ? Is it not as simple as that or do the PL get let off now? Theres no way they will say anything now,they dont have to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Tbf, Penis is definitely right there. The conspiracy thing ia overdone, they're literally a media partner of the Premier League and the PL will be acting in their own and their partner's own interest more than anything. If they’re found guilty of bribery next month in caught, I hope the Premier League does the honourable thing and cancel the deal, or at least refuse to renew next year.

Robster Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 The whole sale thing has highlighted just how bent the epl is, highlighting there links to the Qatari government through Barclays Bank This is one of the dafter angles (and they're all pretty daft) being pushed. There doesn't need to be any shadowy links between the Premier League and Qatar - Qatar pump 100s of millions of pounds into the Premier League's coffers every year as a result of the beIN deal. That's the financial link that's important and it's in the public domain. Everything else is conspiratorial fantasy that will come to absolutely nothing. I think this is very fair and makes a lot of sense. The logical conclusion therefore is simply to reject the takeover, surely. I'd (genuinely) be interested Penn[/member] to hear why you think the PL never reached that decision. I think it's unfair to belittle people simply because, in the face of the lack of communication (and seemingly, the logical decision) from the PL, they are trying to work out what is going on with their club.

mouldy_uk Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I think it would be good if Amanda / the consortium would come out publicly and thank the fans for all their efforts over the last week, possibly with some indication as to the current situation and their thoughts as to what happens next.

Hopefully the lack of subsequent comments from the bidding side since last Thursday/Friday means there's some accuracy in what Rocker[/member] posted, and dialogue between the bidders and the PL has resumed, and as such the NDA is back in play? #Clutching Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I've learnt from history that thinking that things are going on in the background because we aren't hearing anything isn't the beacon of hope that we all want it to be. I think it usually means that nothing is going on. (subconsciously looking for the reverse jinx there ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
