I think the issue is deeper than that. Its only my suspicions but I think the test would pass the Saudis.
But the PL dont want them to pass it because of the piracy issue.

Its a unique case. If they allow the Saudis to take over, then the Saudis and Newcastle United will get TV revenue money from the likes of BeIn. But at the same time, the Saudis won't let BeIn broadcast there and have tried to stop legal challenges. In the eyes of the PL they cant have it both ways.

Lots of mags are suggesting Saudi should get its own TV rights, but that would be breach of a longstanding agreement with BeIn and seta a precedent which lowers the value of TV rights. If the Saudi government can get a bespoke deal, why shouldnt other nations? All they have to do is ban the official broadcast partner and buy a club.

So the PL wants this resolved in a way that protects its Golden Egg. But knows if they fail the new owners there will be an expensive appeal and more delay.

Saudi main TV station is state owned as is Telecom Company (the Bskyb failed takeover for Man Utd set a precedent for a TV company to also own a club. Saudi Telecom is owned by PIF) and I do not see any other companies that have the capacity to deliver live sport. Companies like DAZN, Netflix, Amazon may for a vastly reduced fee take a chance but why would they when Saudi haven't respected the PL deal with BEIN. In addition why should BEIN surrender it's rights? They paid 500m for four years and Saudi should be the most lucrative market.

So are we saying it’s NOT okay to have it away with farm animals?

This takeover had became the biggest non story ever hasn’t it! FFS just tell us it’s not getting done and we can all just move on to looking forward to next season inevitable relegation battle. There’s no excuse for the silence from the PL like. We all know it’s not happening so just say it’s not happening.

Indeed. Always extremely sad when someone leaves young.

I haven't been back to washy in 20 odd years, so no idea how it's changed but I remember feeling in the minority as a sunderland fan.

I live in Washington and quite a few lads i know changed the colours in the keegoon years. I could never understand how anyone could change allegiance to your local rival if ever

Changing colors just makes no sense to me. Thick and thin, even when it seems hopeless

Not its not. Youre not allowed to punch them either. Oh and while we're at it you can't fu*k your sister or mother. If you must come on our board we can at least attempt to civilise you lot ;)
 
I went to comp in Washington, and for the most part the people from Washington were Newcastle fans, either because they were born in gateshead hospital or because they had an NE post code. There were some Sunderland fans but it seemed more 75/80% were mags, that I knew anyway

It's not off yet although i do think it is now more likely to fail than go through.
Once a decision is made I intend to leave within a couple of days.
Don't recall making any promises on anything mind.
