I can't reply as I am blocked for pointing out that they post things as fact with no substance all in the name of followers.

I thought it was for a team that tries? Investment in the region? But we all know their heads were turned, KSA flags added to profiles, KSA National Day celebrated all in the hope of being the richest team in the world.

Saudis can buy any team they want and spend more than any other owner. They’ll go for inter Milan or someone who won’t need billions to make world beaters. I do think the prem went behind the back of Newcastle and wrongly involved BeIn and the top 6 in the process. The top 6 don’t want another power house, whether it’d be Newcastle, Villa or Sunderland. Fucks the other 14 teams over

Do they seriously actually believe that bullshit? That a sovereign nation has any interest in a few deluded no marks waffling shite at each other? Talk about down the rabbit hole.
 
Irrespective of what the Mags think, the elephant in the room is that Saudi Arabia is, to all intents and purposes, an absolute monarchy. What this means is that the Sheikh and the state are effectively the same person. It's not a democracy in any sense of the word. It's therefore pretty much impossible to show that PiF (which effectively performs the same role that MSD does for Michael Dell) is in any way independent of the Saudi royal family. It really can't demonstrate that its funds are separate from KSA, as it's indistinguishable from the royal family as individuals. It's all a bit Louis XIV - "L'état, c'est moi".

And that's before we get to the BeIN piracy, as pirating PL rights is an automatic fail of the O&D test.

Neatly encapsulated, thanks.
 
if that takeover went through, any talk of cartels and corruption would disappear overnight. because they would be part of it, mega rich, a big 7 now. thats the aim. they give less than 2 fucks about the other 13 clubs in the league.
"its for the evertons, leicesters and west hams, so that can compete". laughing as they spend 200m on another player.

Being completely impartial do you think it will go through?
