Isegrim 9599 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 It’s been good that they were quiet because otherwise even more outsiders would have jumped in as well. Now another politician is having his say. It really needs to be over either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qatar have barely shut up for several weeks and we've heard almost nothing from the other side. They'll be party to a non-disclosure at the moment. Expect to hear a lot from them if this falls through, mostly the sound of Saudi bombs flatted Doha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fair point but given that they're effectively a totalitarian state, don't you think their media would be screaming and shouting about it? Not that I'd have any clue personally if they were I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10526 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) My ignorant two penneth PL will want the money that a ridiculously wealthy owner could pour in. They'll want measures taken to reduce piracy in the MENA region. They'll want a bidding war for that same region. Qatar will want to exclude KSA from the Premier League and have monopoly on broadcast rights for the MENA region and to get a public 'win' against KSA KSA will want a PL club to diversify their investments and sportswash their regime UK government will want to keep their trade partner happy, and have more wealth poured into the country. Surely KSA can arrest some patsy to show willing, further relax restrictions on BeIN broadcasting in KSA and then bid for broadcast rights that end 2022? It'd cost them comparatively little money, very little political capital and establish a firm grip on the PL in the MENA region which could be spun as a bigger win than Qatar's? If the PL give KSA a seat at the table, it makes the piracy problem, their problem. If they exclude them, then won't KSA simply continue to tolerate/support piracy of the Qatari feeds?

trooper 940 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) It's not happening is it lads ? The longer it drags I'm less convinced. Also Ashley now willing to reimburse the season ticket money makes me think he's trying to keep the paying fans onside.

It's a bit late ashley trying to keep the fans onside, maybe he should have tried that 13 years ago ? He's given the money back because it was highlighted on that money saving programme, making him look like a twat. Which he is btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34231 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Seems like there’s some criteria to be met before approval, which they are now fulfilling. Otherwise I don’t see why they’d be doing this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
