Still don't really have any feelings, think they're probably gone forever.

 

Will be interesting to see what the Saudi's said in full, and if we ever get an explanation of why it took so long.

 

"The KSA PIF group are happy to announce the acquisition of Leeds Utd who we plan to take back to the top echeclons of the Premier League

This was definitely getting approved it was a big club.

don't think so personally, the piracy thing was too big an issue to ignore

 

Piracy can’t be linked to the PIF Or the Saudi Govt. Every time this has been claimed it’s never been proved. Not in the French court or by the wto

Probably what the Premier League wanted to be honest, they knew whichever way they went they'd have people kicking off, so just ignore it until they get bored and withdraw it so they never have to grasp the nettle and make a decision.

Statement read: "With a deep appreciation for the Newcastle community and the significance of its football club, we have come to the decision to withdraw our interest in acquiring Newcastle United Football Club.

 

"We do so with regret, as we were excited and fully committed to invest in the great city of Newcastle and believe we could have returned the club to the position of its history, tradition and fans' merit.

 

 

"Ultimately, during the unforeseeably prolonged process, the commercial agreement between the Investment Group and the Club's owners expired and our investment thesis could not be sustained, particularly with no clarity as to the circumstances under which the next season will start and the new norms that will arise for matches, training and other activities."

Luke Edwards going to thrap himself silly over the thought of Mauriss coming in.

 

Mauriss was invented by the people that opposed the takeover. He'll never be heard from again.

 

This.

You'd think they wouldn't be allowed to get away with that tactic but I guess they are.
