And it may have always been.
I still think stately, her husband and the reubens statements and message to the fans were all about getting PIF back to the table. Trying to show the saudis just how passionate our fan base.
Some might not like this but maybe the after math of covid and uncertainty really might be the reason the saudis walked. They have not muttered a word since which makes me think they won't be back anytime soon. And sadly when they do return it will likely be another club.
Stavely has some explaining to do if I'm honest. It seems that the 10% ownership for stately and the lure of whatever promised property contracts for the reubens is what the noise was all about. As without the saudis the deal was/is never gonna happen.
Hope the consortium prove me wrong, but i think it won't be long before we never hear from these guys again. Unless stavelys got more mega rich arabs up her sleeve
