NJS 4375 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Does BEIN's rights cover Saudi Arabia though? If it doesn't then this would be the same as France getting upset with people watching British Sky there. Allowing piracy is one thing but why should they tolerate them if they don't have those rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ridiculous with the animosities between some Arab states, It would be the equivalent to give Sky UK the rights for half of Europe. That’s why I do agree that it is quite likely Saidi Arabia was setting up and promoting BeoutQ to get one over Qatar because they couldn’t tolerate them to hold exclusive and important TV rights there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a supranational organisation that covers the MENA region? It seems odd that SA should be forced to allow Bein to control the rights for their country against their will.

Isegrim 9741 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I might have a look at the contract situation and how easy it is for countries to opt out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7012 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 It seems like one of 2 scenarios to me 1- Takeover isn’t happening and SA are throwing their toys out of the pram 2 - Takeover is done, It’s been discussed with the premier league already and the plan is to compensate Bein and SA to pay for their own tv rights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5189 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I'm having a hard time believing that the PL would so openly bloody the nose of an existing rights partner tbh... Having said that, I also feel as though this wouldn't have happened without a conclusion having been reached one way or the other, unless the whole situation with NUFC is far less important to SA than we think it is.

Rayvin 5189 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Yes but the PL now has to either support SA, or support BeIn - there's not exactly a middleground here. It's not obvious to me that they'll go for SA unless they really have tied all this up and they're also ok with SA rubbing salt into the wound.

PaddockLad 17170 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Isn’t this just SA trying to bring things to a head & regain some control from the premier league who are just blatantly taking the fuckin piss? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 9321 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I reckon they’ve been approved, money’s on the move and they’ve said “right Bein/Qatar you cernts” also point remains legal entity the SA gov’t ain’t the ones looking to buy us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PL have agreed Staveley and PIF are a separate entity and whatever SA do now can’t affect the takeover either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
