Well the deal was for 4 years and 1/2 of that has passed, so back of a fag packet maths says it's 500m/2/4= £60.25m or £3.125m per club. It needs to be clear what the distinction is between KSA and PIF. But this latest move doesn't appear to clear anything up.

Who knows? This shit will rumble on until the PL gives it the green light. Or, if denied, when the inevitable appeal culminates in a decision.

Not sure on the time line but I suspect they didn't have any subscribers in KSA in the first half due to BeoutQ. Even if it was half a season it doesn't sit right.

We have gone over he KSA/PIF link before. As is typical in KSA, politicians sit on multiple boards, and they are essentially one of the same.

Now we have another scenario where a state broadcaster (or Saudi Telecom, 70% owned by PIF) could bid for TV rights for a league where they (maybe) own a club. The plot thickens.

Alright Peter, You usually come across a s fairly reasonable. You won’t remember me but my previous identity was 1892 and yes I did get a months ban once after an argument with reiver but came back afterwards and never really had any more bother

Thought you said you couldn't remember your details it was that long ago.

Sombrero and Leonard Osborne both good posters as come for the discussion and not just to try to be WUM like 99% of mags that come here.

Especially the ones who never leave wake up and before even have morning piss and wash straight on here :oops:

Well that's mental considering West Ham were allowed to get away with murder in the Sheff Utd case.

It's common business sense. As weve seen with Man City though rules mean nothing.

? I don't see the connection to the Newcastle takeover bullshittery.

End of the day, money talks and if the PL can see a way to get more coming in and stem a little priacy at the same time, I'm convinced they'll pursue it.

You've made snide comments. Stop lying.

You made a comment about Sunderland fans being more bothered. What's that got to do with the takeover you know the only reason your here?

I don't think it was a snide comment, I said I didn't know who would have the biggest melt down, some NUFC fans if it falls through or some Sunderland fans if it goes through.
That's neither a snide comment aimed at you or your club just a statement that both sets of fans are capable of a melt down depending on the way it goes.

As the melt down hinges on the takeover I would say it has everything to do with the takeover.

I disagree, i'm well up for decent chat and debate with anyone that wants to engage in a civil manner.
If people are going to try and antagonise me with the 15 minutes, you're Sima, ****, wanker, fuck off etc etc drivel then they are going to get a bit back, but if you engage with me in a civil manner you will get a reasonable and civil response.

As far as your first point goes the takeover is the only real topic that interests for me on here, when it's resolved I fully expect to leave after a day or two and won't be back until another topic comes along that I have a big interest in.

I don't see leonard osbourne being called a wanker, told to fuck off?

Now it is you will leave...until another topic comes along.

Nowt as queer as folk.

Fair enough so, instead of throwing shit my way, why not try to let me be a good poster? I come on to have fun, not battles

I'd say it's snide as it means you are here to goad and wind Sunderland fans up. If that's why your here you should be banned

I've seen you fall out with a few posters already and you were far from reasonable but acted out the exact behaviour you were criticising.

Sheff Utd aren't owned by PIF, or KSA. The only West Ham/Sheff Utd stuff I can think of is the shit about Tevez and Mascherano back in 2007?

Erm the premier League 😂

Ahhh gertcha. Sorry, didn't follow. Yeah, the PL will allow whatever nonsense as long as they're paid.

See as much as I debate your points a lot. I don't mind you as if I debate something you will use a logical counter point as an argument. I remember you using Everton and Spurs as benchmarks. While I haven't agreed with everything you say. You don't resort to the snide tactics of belittling SAFC.

That's the difference. There are too many nufc posters on here who come on as the I'm only to discuss Newcastle crack. But when nufc are criticised as they should it's a nufc thread remember not a Sunderland one the defense mechanism is to make a dig at safc and this is what gets people's backs up.

You should be compared to mid table premier League clubs not league 1 fodder. Andy H reckons he's not snide but seems excited for an upcoming meltdown. That's the difference.
