They seem to think the Saudis want it just as much as they do, which clearly isnt the caseOr "almost getting money" in this case.
I'd like to think if it had been us, it wouldn't have driven our fans the same way. That said, the Sunderland fan mentality is very different. We'd have been expecting it to fall through, or be fake news from day one.
And maybe.... if the PiF had really wanted to buy the club... thats what they would have done.
That's the biggest mystery to me. There must have been ways around this if Saudi wanted it that bad. They will have good legal teams, and money to make this happen.
The second biggest mystery is why the only people to kick off about it is a potential minority shareholder and the selling party. PiF said next to nothing, made no noise about it at all. It was like they weren't even involved.
