I want to hear more about the three games we had in 2016 against our relegation rivals. Hasn’t been looked at iirc.

I'll give you the abridged version from wikipedia, and then if you want I'll paste the full version from the Premier League handbook 19/20.

Here is the simplified version;

The Premier League has tighter restrictions than the Football League or National League. In general, a businessman will fail the test if:

So nowt about ordering the murder of journalists or dumping bombs on civilians in the Yemen then, is what you’re saying. I figured as much. I’m pretty sure he’ll pass all of the above and therefore be fit and proper 👍

Yes, that sort of thing doesn't really come into it. Doesn't really affect ability to run a club properly.

Which is all the PL seem bothered about.

There's a bit in the handbook about doing stuff in other territories which may be a crime here, but there's plenty of other examples where they don't seem to apply that rule.

I also read the fit and proper test is reviewed monthly for all owners and directors.

I wouldn’t, neither would any on here.
Reality is we’re in the doldrums and sick of it, your takeover is another example of the apathy spreading further.
You are right to be excited so would we.
We can only dream of such news at the moment, a Mike Ashley would be huge for us right now that’s where we’re at.
People playing moral high ground on here are same people who would ridicule you if roles were reversed

Well sadly you might be right, but I would hope those of us who know a thing or two about Bin Salman and have criticised him in the past (long before he had a connection with Amanda Staveley) would at least be uncomfortable. Remember, some of our fanbase even took issue with Pauli Di Canio’s appointment as manager! I mean I didn’t, but then he’s no Muhammad Bin Salman. Would we really be OK with the things he’s been accused of. If so, then what does that say about football fans?
