Kid Dynamite 7014 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 All the journo's saying the same thing so it appears they have been tipped off. The PL have an easy exit from arbitration now which could have been a nightmare for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35001 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I’m still in the Spongebob / Jimbo’s telly mindset but KD might be onto something re: the PL not being keen on arbitration. It could just be the PL are only really arsed about what BEIN thinks about the takeover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13842 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 If it’s a choice between this awful shitty-arsed Steve Bruce era or another 3 months of takeover bollocks, I’m all in on the latter.

David Kelly 1224 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 3 months of hell then more hell or 3 months of hope then hell? I think I'll have to go for the latter because the former is taking all enjoyment out of my life at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5204 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Well I had planned to just ignore this but the last two pages from you lot of dragged me in with you. Still not sure how I feel about the ethics of this, but Bruce's football is basically a crime against humanity anyway. Do you think they'll keep him about? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I still don’t think it happens. I’ve always felt the piracy piece was just one part of their reluctance, with the fact it was also potentially shaking up their beloved “big six” being the other reason. The structure argument still holds for the PL and I really can’t see them relenting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they were unhappy with that state committing piracy against their own league. This is a negative-free zone, please check yourself.

The structure argument still holds for the PL and I really can’t see them relenting. It could be that the PL actually doesn't have that much of a case on any other level though. Ashley's determination to have his day in court might be forcing their hand a bit. This gesture from SA maybe allows all concerned to walk back from the rather stupid hills they chose to die on. That said, I daresay there'll be a few more twists and turns ahead yet. Edited October 6, 2021 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue more is that MBS will never submit to an O&D test, the PL know that and have been using that structure argument to block or at least obstruct the deal on behalf of the “big six”. No one would be happier than I for this to go through but I just can’t bring myself to be excited about this and then yet again have to come crashing back to Earth with a Steve Bruce shrugging press conference after the PL block it.

That’s the hope, but their argument that the PiF and Saudi state are one in the same is obviously a murky one to fight off which is likely why they’ve picked at it. They’ve never given a flying fuck about MBS being involved it’s always been a tool to obstruct, maybe they will climb down but I just worry it’s only removed one part of their resistance.
