Toonpack 6766 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 For what it's worth, I can't see it not happening, given the politics over there the loss of face for the Saudi's (and not just some random Sheik, but the royal house) from being thwarted by Qatar would be unthinkable IMO. It'll get sorted I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19724 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Of course our government are going to support it. The economy is on its arse - they’ll be desperate to flog them more arms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point about the economy being on it’s arse and the billions of business between both countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteroidblitz 12 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Don't forget that Qatar also spunk loads of money in the UK: IAG, Harrods, the Shard and a majority shareholding in Veet to keep gorilla hands presentable on Bein Sports. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 If anyone had any lingering doubt about this not happening, when you get to the stage where Marr is asking the head of the WTO about Newcastle United... Premier league simply waiting for the report as cover to say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17580 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I saw Marr today and don't see how you can remotely draw conclusions from what the WTO guy said. In the the whole interview, he talked a lot and said absolutely nothing. If CT is of the opinion it won't happen, that gives me confidence it will. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 8868 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I actually do agree with CT on this one, I fear that that the decision of the PL is relying on the submissions to the WTO and therefore holding back with the decision until the result of the WTO is published. Well, it was fun for the first four to five weeks to actually look forward to something. Cans are out of the fridge here to make room for other stuff.

I think he’s right in that it appears to be what they’re waiting for. Although how you could determine one way or the other what the decision would be, based on the interview CT mentions, is beyond me. The bloke literally said he couldn’t comment on the outcome of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bloke literally said he couldn’t comment on the outcome of it I wasn’t about the interview which was just empty phrases but about the process of making a decision. I am very sceptical about how this has dragged on and about the secrecy which does put a lot of people and the club in a limbo. It does seem very unfair to me but might be understandable if the PL are hindered by other obstacles. If they were about to approve it they could have done weeks ago.

Alex 30231 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Yeah, it’s definitely not a straightforward takeover. Likewise they could’ve blocked it weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26147 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I think they would’ve certainly come in for criticism if they’d given the okay before this report comes out. I’m not sure what effect it’s going to have on the outcome but they definitely have to be seen to have considered it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve decided to at least appear to consider the report so once that was the case the timescale was set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaser 1053 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Im sure there'll be some movement this week. I'm more confident now than when it all started. I simply can't see the PL passing up the opportunity to involve them. Money talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
