If he really has put a bid in, the Saudi deal is either off, or was never close to the PL Test.
We are led to believe that Saudis paid a deposit and deal was done bar the approval and transfer of funds. If that was the case, why would this American put a bid in.
If he has put in a serious bid, he knows the club is on the market, and I doubt it can be on the market if the Saudi bid was still live.
Its interesting. Could have been leaked by Ashley as he's just heard the deal is off. Could break later today?
