As someone that has served and has seen terrorism close up and first hand, can we please leave that subject out of the takeover thread please.

Noted. I do live in N.Ireland and my dad was in the UDR so don't need to tell me twice he was targeted more than once because he lived close to the border but I'm sure there will be multiple pages to tell me I'm wrong.

The last you hear on the matter from me.

Indeed we have drifted into a discussion about other things than the Newcastle Takeover.

Hmm think I prefer Mike to this Henry Mauriss bloke lol

Seems he's a right fraud. There's also stories going around that he bidding on some of the Qatar World cup advertising rights!! I smell a hoax.

I also believe there is a 3rd US bid on the table. Henry Winter reported it weeks ago and said it wasn't Mauriss.

Starting to think this won't be cleared up anytime soon lol.

I just find it bazaar that it’s “leaked” the day after the WTO report was released, which while it was not the best outcome for SA, it was far from the Slam dunk the Guardian and others reported.

that new bid stinks, even if you check a rag like the sun it was banded about back in april

The main point from the WTO report that concerns the Newcastle fans and takeover

There was no finding or identification that the KSA government or any individual was responsible for the broadcasting of beoutQ’s piracy but Qatar merely ‘established a prima facie case that beoutQ is operated by individuals or entities subject to the criminal jurisdiction of KSA’.

Apparently they have been like that since December, the Prominent thing is the bein sports in cafes, as I was under the impression that they were still banned from being shown in public places though (i.e. cafes), So I wonder if SA aren’t going to unban them but aren’t going to clamp down on cafes and stuff if the choose to show it legally through a bein box

edit just found this on another site
“BeIN's channels are available (unofficially) through their official mobile/TV apps and also some other popular 3rd party (legal) app. Apparently loads of people watch it that way in KSA.”

So Day 2 after that so called Nuclear bomb.

No clear legal reason to stop PIF passing the Owners and directors test. Comming from multiple barristers and sports lawyer's.

A few reporter's suggest otherwise.

Balls in your court PL seems a few clubs are afraid of a well backed Newcastle on and off the pitch!!!

If they don’t pass it, it shows the PL is as corrupt as FIFA and the guy the runs Bein

Well I’m guessing the premier league have made there decision, as the club are now offering refunds for Season ticket holders and unused tickets, but no refunds for next season’s tickets that have already been paid for

So they expect it to be approved I’d guess? Mike certainly wouldn’t be giving money away like that otherwise.

I’m not so sure, the refusal to refund next season’s tickets until next June even though they are almost certain to be behind closed doors for most of the season has me worried

he could also have had his hand forced legally or by the premier league

I know the Guardian been thrown around here a lot lately but Sean Ingle seems to think an announcement is days away but seems pretty dam cryptic lol.

the wopster · 21 Jun 2020 at 11:18

So the PIF have now acquired shares in BT a premier league partner, find it hard to believe they can turn this down now

edit
Also a massive clamp down on piracy “Govt announce intention to shut down 231 websites that aid piracy and intellectual property theft”
