Maybe the bid hasn't been officially withdrawn, yes the premier league are taking their Time so some effort might be to speed them up with a little pressure. But maybe its also to check the reaction of the fans to a Saudi MBS owned club. They or he wouldn't like it if the fans had objected and were protesting against them every week. Maybe this is just a final check before everything goes through that they , the Saudis, were making the right decision.

Doubt it the whole thing stinks of qatar.
