It does seem like Masters is buying time by not saying anything and then getting spooked by one bloke with his bait in his backpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be about the very limited requirements as set out in the owners and directors test that was agreed by all 20 clubs, the PL have no power to develop common law. As long as the Saudis are involved they will be subject to the test no matter what way you fudge the numbers. The test applies to anyone named as a director, thought to be a shadow director or anyone with 'control of the club'. There's no way the Saudis aren't going to be the major partner here and no way they're not going to want one of their own on the board. I totally agree. That’s why I don’t get all this messing around. It’s been totally clear who is involved in the takeover and how it is structured. Therefore the only question should have been if the piracy around BeoutQ prevents a Saudi entity to be involved in the running of a club in the Premierleague. It’s been a simple yes or no right from the start. The Premierleague has created this problem because of not giving a clear verdict either way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl 175 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Obviously I'm naive, but with all the stuff I've read about this over the last few days burying your head in the sand is against the rules set out in the owners test and in my eyes confirmation that something is up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13814 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I long for the days of Scudamore. He’d have been balls deep in Saudi blood money before the kettle boiled at the first meeting. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my laddie wasn’t into it I’d barely know what was going on. Final nail in the coffin for me now though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The region is going to suffer so much because of this. It goes beyond a game of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13814 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I don’t feel angry because it was so predictable. Dirty money is only for historically elite clubs (sic) like Man City & Chelsea. Football is shite these days mainly & Newcastle United are the worst of it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive investment in the part of the country set to be most fucked by Brexit and not even an explanation from the body responsible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl 175 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 So it looks like the other premier league teams are against this as well, I'll put it on record to say I have no issue if the rest of the league hate us so long as this takeover goes through. I remember the 80s when all clubs more or less hated each other and there was none of this half and half scarves and the likes of Sunderland and Everton holding hands. Fuck the lot of them.
