Lazarus Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Everyone seems to be committing to the takeover going through. Gonna be a lot of embarrassment if it doesnt - hence maybe, just maybe, its happenning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Worth noting the journo for the athletic who is writing it’s happening is one of the biggest sceptics of the takeover last summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-more Mag Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Woo. That piece in The Athletic makes some wild logical leaps. "The announcement on Wednesday that beIN Sport, the Premier League’s official Middle East broadcaster, will no longer be barred from operating in the kingdom means the takeover is on the cusp of being completed." I mean seriously, fuck off with that. Edited October 6, 2021 by B-more Mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 2 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: It’s clear all the main journos have been briefed now, however they where also briefed numerous times last summer and we all know what happened then. I don't want to get too positive because it feels like it'll just go to shit again since its happened so many times. But what I would say is I think in the past there were always two sides in the media. Even when one group had clearly been briefed positively that something was happening soon there was always the other side still saying not being positive, or even actively negative. Likely because one side was being briefed by the consortium and the other by the Premier League. It seems like right now the news is universal. Which suggests both sides are briefing from the same position. Hate even posting positive stuff in case it jinxes things, which just shows how insane this has all sent me... (now I'm off to touch wood, and if the takeover goes through touch some more wood). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 And to add to the athletic piece he was the journo who was very forthcoming saying the takeover wouldn’t happen due to the piracy so he’s clearly being briefed by the prem side of the deal.

We’ve got to assume that someone is briefing everyone and they haven’t just all decided piracy issue resolved = takeover is on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
