And then sold them back for millions in the summer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your version with longer initial contracts is even better 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case there's arguably only us, Everton (if the 777 thing goes through) and Man United (with Ratcliffe owning Nice). All of the rest of them don't have interest in clubs that would immediately be serving up good incoming prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26479 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Man City share the same owner as a number of clubs so they'd be against it. And wouldn't the ban only affect transfers with the four Saudi clubs that PIF took over? Obviously then we'd be free to deal with the other Saudi clubs as PIF have absolutely zero influence over them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3986 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Would love to see them come up with some contrived way around it with Levy whining "but.. but..." and Staveley just going "Well you fucking started it, cunt".... 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14638 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 So on the morning of this meeting/vote the Athletic run this… which am reading as info already in the public realm (emails were leaked between DCMS & the PL during the time when the takeover was being blocked I seem to remember?) and also that (surprise surprise) we’re not in for Neves after all….the timing seems, how can I put this, “interesting” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
