Expand All the noise and theatre is just a distraction from the actual issue; Premier League want as much assurance as possible that their intellectual property will not be pirated. If that means the KSA need to organise a bid for the MENA rights, arrest a few patsies and make inconsequential promises, then so be it. PL aren't looking for a reason to block it, they have those, in spades, they're wanting to use this leverage to get a better deal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with the Saudis and the PL being in constant dialogue about what needs fulfilling from the former’s side of things. The idea they are taking all these steps with no idea about the outcome is ludicrous.

Expand Yeah if they felt it was insurmountable they'd have sacked it off ages ago. To be honest any decent counsel would have advised them before the bid that a) the rights issue would be complicated, 2) the WTO report would be damaging and iii) there'd be a lot of Human Rights noise surrounding the bid. If that didn't dissuade them from bidding then the delays and attention won't either. Not sure I share your optimism for their determination mind. Honestly think they'll be unmoved by this, unless our club comes up against a Qatari owned club any time soon. Wonder if BeIN will choose not to broadcast our games should the takeover go ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3961 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 You have to figure the decision will be soon if they are this worried about money. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jul/01/premier-leagues-promoted-clubs-debts The Saudi's buying us and then paying more than BeIn for the TV rights for MESA next contract will be appealing to the PL if they are that worried.
