    Old news, don't panic.
    There is a massive difference between the head of state and his investment fund.... who Raab has been falling over himself to court for investment (publicly and privately).... and the 20 thugs implicated in that blokes slice and dice episode.
    It's not like those 20 are personally buying NUFC.

    Remember Abrahmovic getting grief? and the other Russians?

    No member of PIF is on the Government lists. This is a measure to bring in our own human rights legislation post Brexit to comply with the ECHR. They are targeting indivuduals and organisations.

    The UK Government has lucrative trade deals with Saudi. The individual listed are those provided by the Saudi Government in co-operation with the UK Government to allow enforcement of human rights abuses in UK Courts.

    This is actually a good thing because non of the people involved in buying nufc are on the list , so the premier league are ****ed if they try using the murder issue to fail it.

    It effectively kills any morality argument. Our own Government has identified that neither Crown Prince Bin Salman nor any active member of PIF is involved in human rights abuses.

    The Government has closed the morality argument. Khassoggi's fiancee no longer has grounds to complain to the PL.

    I doubt this takeover will happen, however if it fails because of the Saudis involvement in human rights issues and the odd murder here and there, I hope they sue the bollocks of the complainents and then cut their f*cking heads off.
    I just hope legitimate doubters don't get sh*t on by petty atrocities blinkering the believers who appear to gaining in numbers.

    So mathematical safety hasn't made a lick of difference either. Justin Barnes trotting out "business as usual". New contracts for Carroll, Manquillo and Gillespie signed on a free.

    It must be happening.....

    Government ruling out human rights argument - Check

    Piracy - Resolved.

    Safety - Sealed

    Nothing but positives.

    they probably will fail it and they'll seek legal action, but ultimately that still leaves us with Ashley.

    Now I'm glad for the lad and Ireland, hopefully he'll make the grade but looks like we won't be buying van Diiyk anytime soon.
