Fantail Breeze Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Keith has released two of his pieces of ‘evidence’ A letter from BeIN we all already knew about, which said they don’t like KSA. The second piece, a letter from Masters that refers to PIF as ‘a company in Saudi Arabia’. Wew. That’ll be that sorted then. Other than the fact it’s factually correct and not inferring ownership. Oh, Richard Key’s deleted tweets are apparently important too, somehow. I hope he’s got some fantastic pieces held back and this isn’t a sign of the quality of evidence he/the club apparently has.

gdm Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Tbf if that is the evidence I’d be very worried. That’s absolutely nothing a half decent lawyer couldn’t defend. fuck me the wording on a letter some smoking gun that. It literally is a company in Saudi Arabia that’s not even up for dispute.

Scotty66 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) I'm sure there is more. Regardless, Bein should not be involved anyway at all in the takeover process, the fact they have made themselves involved goes in our favour. Also Masters can't really describe them as a company and then deny a takeover because they're not a company. You just can't do stuff like that in his position. It's not massive evidence but I think that gives an indication that Bein and masters have massively influenced our takeover. That simply is not allowed.

The club’s legal team are 0/1 in takeover court cases so far though, so I’m not sure pressing ahead can be seen as a reason to believe they’ve got stonewall evidence.

Might not be his opinion that PIF are state run. He might be pro-takeover but the other two on the PL board (or however many it is) may be the problem. Complete guesswork, but if we’re just theorising, I mean it’s possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're saying but in my opinion it's blatantly obvious masters is being pushed by the big 6. He does what they say, and that was stop the takeover. (Also by Bein) Secret meetings before everyone else working out how to stop the deal, and I believe this is what will be proven. It's not how the process should go and should well be classed as anti competitive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not how the process should go and should well be classed as anti competitive. I don’t believe the PL’s refusal was due to the big 6. I think the PL genuinely don’t accept/like the piracy and that’s the key factor in this. You could argue it’s a legitimate issue too. I think BeIN are more influential than the big 6 in this case. Worth nothing the planned peace talks leading to Saudi shutting off the piracy/switching on BeIN hasn’t happened yet. A key issue most journalists said.

andyc35i Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 But how do you prove a secret meeting? We all believe something underhand went on, but the evidence needs to be clear and I’m not sure it is - surely it would be done by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
