Takeover (Covid-19/20)

Ashley is warming his ring piece up ready to be ****ed by the Saudi's before having his head chopped off.

 

Just to confirm, there's still absolutely no news whatsoever bar a document from Companies House and some newco's from April? Just in case there was something I missed?

 

Go back to hibernating

 

And a number of people objecting, plus the PL confirming it is with them.

 

Masters confirmed it was being looked at and news should be soon.
Piracy appears to be being addressed.
Deposit is apparently paid.
Bruce has asked for the PL to sort it out as it’s creating uncertainty for him and his staff.

However your right whether all of the above means it’s near to completion. Your guess is as good as mine.

I am actually taking Keys comment about Friday as probably the best ITK possibility there is because of his relationship with Bein and their direct involvement. Again does it really mean anything? Who knows!

 

Or the fact that Keys is friends with a PL board member. Can't remember his name though

 

Keys being portrayed as a puppet master in all of this. The man is a ****ing idiot.

 

I'll believe it when I see it basically. Keys knows **** all. He's persona non grata in English football and is constantly battling to stay relevant. I've heard this before that because of his links with PL Board Member and his relationship with BEIN, he knows more. Well how come his predictions, of which there have been numerous, have all been wide of the mark? He knows jack ****.

Its hard to see why its not happening but it seems a bit crazy that Friday is the day. It would seem far more likely to me that they'll just wait till the seasons done now. A nice clean break and clean slate for everyone.

I mean I still think its not happening, but I know about as much as Keys. What odds is a Friday announcement? Can you bet on when?

 

he has a point here @Ben 10

 

I'm puzzled as to why it's so silent everywhere. The Man City takeover took all of 4 weeks, but even then there were reliable tidbits of information.

 

Yes and the Southampton take over took almost 8 months.
But let's focus on negativity.

So dull

 

The word is that the piracy issue is still the thing holding it up and the process has been extremely difficult and complex... Bruce has called for clarity again so it's clear it's still with masters..

 

he's entitled to doubt and express his opinion mate .

 

Yes if it actually offered anything. It's just repeating the same thing. People have discussed this to death.

 

As I've said before, there cannot be any more evidence that PIF are not linked to broadcast piracy, so that doesn't really hold for me. I wasn't being negative, just expressing bemusement as to why there's still - when it's allegedly so close - there's still not a peep.

 

Literally last week Richard Masters, the guy in charge said it would be sorted one way or the other shortly.

No peep at all

 

Meant from either side, but point taken. Just torturous, is all.

 

850 motherfucking pages. Urgh.

 

I understand that.

Think Saudia Arabia burnt their fingers in May thinking it was done.

Mike Ashley never says anything about anything any way so no surprises there.

Fingers crossed for before August

 

before the transfer window shuts will do
