About 4 hours late to the party, it all feels just a bit too positive, been burned so many times, I’m going to wait a bit and see what happens for my own mental health.

 

Think the price of the club is going to be an issue, at least, negotiations won’t be straight forward, Ashley is hardly going to be happy about losing out on several million. Which in a sense is not his fault but then at same time it’s very much his fault. He could be negotiating for a far higher price if he’d actually done anything with this club for the last few years.

Crucially, although news of the legal dispute with BeIN only emerged on Wednesday, progress has been made behind the scenes after the Saudis took control of the talks directly and asked the Premier League what they needed to do for the takeover to be revived. They have since acted on that instruction.

Newcastle United helping ease middle eastern relations since 2020 :lol:

I'd hope the price has already been agreed way back at the start of last year and the offer has always been on the table providing all obstacles are cleared.

 

Ashley fucks about with the deal and winds up with a date with a bonesaw.  Either way he's gone.

they could state they were only interested in the separation as they had an ongoing complaint from bein. Now that complaint has gone we have no need to test separation therefore we are happy to have pif as an owner regardless of their links to KSA.

 

They could say that and let it go through, but logically it doesn't hold water. The rules don't say "test someone when there's a complaint," they say "you're a director under factual circumstances x, y, and z, and as a director you've got to do 1, 2, and 3."

What will happen to poor Charners ? I bet he wishes he made a few more club donations to the food bank now.

 

He'll get a hefty payoff with the payrise he got about a year ago.

 

Fuck knows how long his contract is.  What is the half life of a barely sentient thumb?

they could sell them with a 20% mark up with games already played and be sold out in hours of the takeover being confirmed.

If they have then Justin Barnes would possibly be guilty of contempt of court because he gave an affidavit submitted in evidence for the CAT hearing that no new deal has been agreed or discussed.

Pretty sure the rules leave it entirely up to the PL to decide who should be named as a director (with the caveat that it can be contested obviously).  So the PL can just say its changed its mind.
