    The idea of everyone on here thinking it might be them is highly arousing.

    Lot of talk that the new company (PAUK) was for the McLaren acquisition. However, two things I would say in response to that is:

    1) surely the McLaren company would have been set up earlier than just on the day it was announced?

    2) if this new company was used for the McLaren acquisition, that doesn’t mean that it can’t also be used for our takeover, as far as I am aware. Why would PIF need to change from a ‘public investment fund’ to a ‘corporate sole’ for the McLaren acquisition?

    Even if this company was used for the McLaren acquisition, I don’t believe that rules out the possibility that it is also related to our takeover.

    I’m sorry mate your out of order. You have the rights to the phrase “we will sell our best players and get relegated”!

    You cannot also have “yeah but we’re ****ed”.

    Make your choice.

    Change from Public Investment Fund to Corporation Sole is significant.

    It is in law the creation of a single identifiable legal person who in effect operates as a corporation. It is an ancient legal principle rarely used these days.

    In this instance - Public Investment fund are listed as a corporate sole. It is to bypass the link between KSA and PIF through Yasser Al Rumayyan acting as the sole corporate identity. He runs the company.

    What would this mean?Al Rumayyan as the corporate sole identity would be the only listed PIF director as he is the only person with significant control.

    Ok I will play: what about AS. What about R bros. What about the origin of the money. What about the PIF link. What about share ownership.

    What exactly is the issue for the premier league. It can’t be the fact the money will be coming from a State as that is what is happening at City?

    the issue for the PL is that the top 6 don’t want another club challenging them, which we would do if this takeover happened. The PL are also bending over for their broadcast partner beIN sports, who are also Qatari owned I believe. Therefore, they want to link PIF to the Saudi state then they can use the piracy excuse as a legitimate reason to stop the takeover.
