    What do you think

    That Brian Swanson off Sky asked the CEO of the Premier League about the takeover and whether the Saudis were in talks to buy the club. This is what he said;

    “It’s a hypothetical situation. I can’t say anything which adds to the speculation this might be happening or, indeed, might not be happening.”
    “The acquisition of football clubs, the passing of the Owners’ & Directors’ Test, are just about the most confidential processes in the regulatory side of the Premier League operations.”

    For me it doesnt say a lot but the optimist in me is wondering why he didn't shut it down and say nothing in it like they did with BZG in the Summer.
    Still we have to wait and see what happens.

    why would someone with circa 300-400 million contact him ,why not shearer ,hell why not ash himself

    would you give a mandate to someone who thinks chopra has any influence or connection with ash
    this is the same chopra who slagged him and the club of is it

    of course youre going to sit down and share bread with him

    That's the thing Kev,why? The QPR owner when the story broke in the Washongton Post wished Jamie Rueben all the best in his new football venture,that was quickly deleted as well.
    By all accounts if it ever did happen, Jamie Rueben a Newcastle fan by the way will take a seat on the board.Be interesting if he resigns from QPR board.
