Nah, if the O&D had been passed surely that's the penultimate hurdle, the last thing being transfer of funds. Both Ashley and the buying side would have trumpeted the success. Once they've passed the test, is it possible for the PL to renege on that?

What's more likely imo the PL are using the leverage to crack down on piracy and get the most money as possible for their broadcast rights. BEIN paying for all but KSA + Arabsat paying for KSA, will be more than the current BEIN deal, surely?

Tbe level of hatred is so high I doubt Bein would walk away. In case hadn’t seen this before -

- sums up the loggerheads they are at.

Arabsat is the satellite network (ironically) part owned by Qatar! Even if Bein stood aside I think the only companies who could bid for rights who be State owned KSA sports and Saudi Telecom (70% owned by PIF). Against the backdrop of a legal ruling stopping BSkyB owning Man Utd, It puts the league in a very difficult (maybe insurmountable) position.

Here is Scudamore in 2018:

Executive Chairman of the Premier League, said “We know there are many passionate fans of Premier League clubs right across the Middle East and North Africa, and that beIN SPORTS does an excellent job making the competition available to them. beIN is a long-term partner of the League and its first-rate coverage has helped to grow interest in our clubs across many countries. We look forward to continuing to work with them to make the best Premier League action available to fans in the region for the next four seasons.”

Yeah they've so good they've even let women drive!!! Watching this documentary now (I've watched loads now theres a new channel for them on) and some of the rules and customs are shocking. Nee zero hour contracts mentioned though.

It wasn’t so long ago WMC’s had rooms that women could not go in. Likewise male only clubs.
 
Some people on this place are going to need severe counselling when they do get taken over, particularly if Donald is still here.

This thread needs burning. We’re in L1 with an owner who has about 50p in his pocket and they’re on the verge of a takeover by some of the richest people in the world.

Aye, a brilliant time to laugh at them.
