I've already told my boss last summer that I don't care where I am or what I'm doing, or what time of day it is, if this takeover goes through I'm immediately going for a pint, and I'll deal with the consequences later.

Could KSA or whoever actually just agree to be a "director" now or is that a big no-no?

 

They may have not wanted to before as they knew the BeIn privacy case was an issue but do they have any objections otherwise? Why would they care?

"The Premier League has now been provided with written assurances that the Saudi state will not interfere with the running of the club and that only the PIF will be involved in Newcastle operations along with minority shareholders. Any breach of that undertaking could lead to directors being suspended."

 

If this is the case, it's an absolute farce that this hasn't been done eons ago. It also doesn't get KSA outside of the definition of "Director" but if the PL's willing to buy it, more power to them.

Looks like it was all down to the piracy issue if that's the case.

As a director it would have to submit a declaration about a whole laundry list of things specified under the rules -- a lot of we haven't done this, we have done that, this is true, that isn't, etc. -- and it would have to comply with PL rules. As a sovereign nation, it's generally not going to want to do that sort of thing.

Ah ha, gotcha. Cheers!
