Newcastle United takeover?

This is a fucking ball ache for barcodes. Any more obstacles they want to put in the way?

Except there's apparently no link to the PIF. BeOutQ is a separate entity. That's like saying an American owner can't go through with a takeover because the USA has broken some WTO rules.

Not checked his background. Is the journo Qatari based or USA?

Not sure. He's FT so I assume London-based.

Your American owner analogy is a fallacy, as you well know.

PIF is not a citizen who happens to be from the same country, it is Saudi Arabia.

If you want to make an analogy it would be like Rupert Murdoch wanting to buy a club while Fox used and supported a pirate feed.

The only certain thing that will happen to NUFC this year is that they have gotten a much longer thread than usual on Bluemoon.
Under normal circumstances they would generate about as much interest as Everton,West Ham or Aston Villa,and the NUFC thread would be 20-25 pages long.
The longevity and uncertainty of the proposed/supposed takeover has padded out this thread to almost 110 pages.
And when the takeover has fallen through,and interest on BM has waxed and waned, the NUFC 2020 -2021 thread will revert to normal and be 20 -25 pages long. You heard it here first.

Wow maybe this won't go ahead . I still can't believe they would block it though. Capital is going to be difficult to come by next few years and these deals will help football better survive the next few seasons.

The PL and the govn just have to come up with the justification

Exactly and they feel BeOUTQ is costing them a lot of potential money by decreasing the value of their TV rights.

They are not against the takeover, they want to armstrong the Saudi into dismantling the piracy operation and eventually make them participate in the next TV rights auction. This would raise a lot more money.

Heard Brucie this morning saying Joelinton had been flying since the break.

You’ve tried this line before and it was wrong then. BeOutQ and PIF both have the same ultimate ruler/owner/decision maker in MBS.

Exactly. And you’re dead right he knows it’s a fallacy. I’ve told him enough times.
