Total guesswork, and speculation, but would be nice if the consortium (or at least the uk based element) has requested a meeting with Ashley regarding the manager and the teams position, on the back of the NUST survey result gaining traction/media publicity, and particularly with the arbitration dates now public and a definite date for a resolution one way or another. Should it go our/the clubs way, then the last thing they'll want is to be faced with buying a club which could be deep, deep in a relegation fight by then, simply because Ashley won't act. Then again, its probably all just Twitter bollocks and nowt is happening. Why wouldn't they just meet in London? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is though it looks like this is not rumours and is actually factual, whereas previously it was just rumours of SA lifting the ban. This is pretty significant news and a major hurdle removed, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-more Mag Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 It has no bearing whatsoever on whether KSA is a director under the rules-- which is the position they've locked themselves into. So if they let it go through based on this, they're never going to admit it's the reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 If this has anything at all do to with helping the takeover then news should all break pretty quickly from here on in. Unfortunately it won’t have any bearing on it IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Alternatively I would also add that it also seems strange for this to be resolved if KSA wasn’t getting anything out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore I'd doubt if there'll be much of a knock-on impact to the takeover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if it has just been agreed as Ashley wouldn't postpone any CAT case based on assumption. It's by no means a given that it will push through the takeover, but one stumbling block, and a pretty big one in terms of BEIN and the PL has now been removed. Just have to wait and see what the fallout is from here, as I agree with you that if it is related, then the takeover should be pushed through quite quickly.

SUPERTOON Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Fwiw I think the likes of Edwards and Jordan have been briefed in some form or another by the prem throughout this whole saga as well so hopefully them being more positive today is a good sign.

The piracy might have actually been brought up. We don't know what was said behind closed doors, no. But the High Court ruling makes it clear the issue at play is the director issue, which was also confirmed in public parts of the CAT hearing. To say "we'll let it go through because piracy is fixed" is tantamount to saying "oops, ha ha, yeah we lied, our bad." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine the piracy stuff didn't help matters and pushed the PL to find ways to try and stall/block the takeover, but now that the positions are entrenched and they are going down the separation route I've got no idea how this plays out Hopefully they can get back round the table.
