As soon as the fans (who are desperate for new ownership) are pitted against the PL or other powers that be, that's when the fans start arguing the case for why Qatar or whoever should be allowed to own a football club. Same happened when it was NUFC fans vs the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Saudis banning BeIN again just seems like a totally unnecessary and risky thing to do mind Edited April 6, 2023 by Jack27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Well, the funny thing about the whole saga is the grounds people were pleading for them to block this on (PIF Being apart of the state) wasn’t against any rules. It was the piracy issue as everyone knows but unfortunately the PL thrust itself into the midst of a geopolitical issue directly against the interests of the British state. It’s probably a factor as to why the Govt want to regulate the premier league now (the UK Govt couldn’t care less about the super league). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 It’s been blocked for a while. It will get sorted, PIF are wanting to buy it but BeIN don’t want to sell or are playing hardball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Nothing we didn’t already know, Crafton must be even more upset after we beat the Mancs at weekend. I wonder if any of these journalists will invest as much time investigating the cloak and dagger interference from other clubs to prevent a legitimate takeover in the first place. Course they won’t they’re fucking obsessed with hating the Saudis and NUFC. Edited April 6, 2023 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Quote They claim the Premier League received advice that the continuing legal disputes over who would really control Newcastle — the PIF or the state — could require another 18 months of battle even from October 2021, at a cost of further millions to the league, and by now, there was less confidence at the Premier League, given all the circumstances, that it would actually win the case. Quote Additionally, it was felt by the league board that the matter of piracy — which would have been a disqualifying factor in the event the state was found to be the ultimate controlling party — would have felt historical by the point at which the legal battle over control was complete. These are, ultimately, the most relevant parts of the article. Everything else we already knew - that PIF/KSA are intertwined but in a complex fashion (legally speaking), that the UK Government didn't want KSA to turn off the tap and stop that steady flow of cash, that the PL were only really bothered about piracy and didn't ultimately have the heart (or possibly the cash) for a protracted legal fight and that the other clubs arguing against the deal were doing so purely from self-interest. I don't know exactly how it would work but I imagine stopping a takeover taking place would be considerably more straightforward than removing a sitting ownership from a club, especially when the links between the "official" ownership and the alleged "shadow" ownership are so murky. The Abramovic thing was inevitable (and easier for the PL) because he was sanctioned by the Government and the PL were just towing the line, rather than leading the charge as they would be in a case against PIF/KSA/MBS.

Precisely, the premier league have no power whatsoever to change ownership of a private business. The remedy would be to eject us from the league.

Aye the Abramovic thing only happened because legally any company of his had to cease running. Chelsea themselves were given an expedition to some extent so that they could be sold. Other businesses of his in the U.K. folded. The Premier League were not arsed until the sanctions took place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
