One thing that has confused me from the beginning is that if the split is 80:10:10 then any investment made in the playing squad (over and above revenue) must equally be matched by the owners (in proportion). Is this not the problem Arsenal have/had been facing?

you would assume that is the case, that any future investment will be on a 80/10/10 split

They might have an agreement that future investment will create new shares which would dilute the value of the current shares so it could work fairly that way.
They may intend to run it under it's own steam with no further investment.
I think everything is guess work until and if it goes through and we hear the mission statement.

I get the impression that he knows morally it should be turned down, but the owners and directors tests are set in stone so a decision can't be made on that basis.

Wouldn't suprise me if they are dragging this out as long as possible in the hope one of the parties crack.

Aye.

He has stated on both times when ethics of the deal have been questioned, he reverts straight back to the owners and directors test being laid out for all to see. The test doesn't include the morals of the parties, which is why i think it will go through.

Isn't really that hard to get that from the interview either in my opinion. Everytime the interviewer has specifically asked about the morals of the deal, he reverts back to saying the owners test is in writing for why the deal can or cant go through.

When he's been asked about any particulars involved in the proposed takeover, he straight bats the question. Flat out refusing to comment on anything beyond reiterating the fact that the process is confidential. I don't know how you've come to deduce what the man personally believes from such a beige answering style.

I haven’t actually listened to it but excuses can be made for a delay due to coronavirus and Ramadan which is feasible, but I think the powers that be have painted themselves into a corner and is a case of damned if they do and damned if they don’t. It certainly will be interesting on what side of the fence they come down on imo

According to the mag ITKs on here nothing can stop it, it’s all signed off and just waiting for the official confirmation, which will be on Tuesday, possibly at the weekend, though more likely at the end of Ramadan.

I am led to believe Ramadan has finished , Saturday 23rd May culminating in the festival of Eid which I believe has also ended so nothing should cause non confirmation

Well, if it's anything like your 'nothing can stop it' takeover from nearly a year ago you might be right.

All done next week, or the week after.

Still need a couple of wins.
