Everything ok Zip?
Honestly, man....it's boiling my piss how long they're taking over this. I know Geordie says be patient and I'd be happy to if it was just a case of waiting but the delay just worries me. What can be holding it up now? Are there further steps the Saudis need to take to combat piracy? Short of inviting those responsible to their embassy.....

I dont get worked up about it. I have been distanced from the club for that long under Ashley, I will wait as long as it takes. Is it annoying, yes it is. But we can't do anything about it. I stress over my family staying safe through Covid, certainly not over the PL making a decision.
Do I want it sorted straight away, course I do but the result will be the same. We will have new owners.
My guess is that the PL are waiting until the end of the season to see if the Suadi's moves to combat piracy have worked.
How long would that leave us before the transfer window shuts?
The ‘new owners’ should just announce it now, call the Premier League’s bluff and challenge them to call the deal unlawful saying that the league and those tasked with making the decision aren’t fit for purpose. What would the league actually do? Suspend us, relegate us, on what grounds - based on a breach of rules that would be challenged in court as in all likelihood as unlawful? If this decision is too big for those having to make it, they need to hold their hands up and say they don’t have the necessary expertise rather than bumbling on for another three months. When you look at that mismatch yesterday, it was like a pre-season friendly between a non league side and a premier league team and the league, by dragging its heals on no basis whatsoever is actually endorsing one of its clubs having the life sucked out of it and not even trying to compete - the self styled ‘best league in the world’ - no way. They have the chance for a pre-money compatibly sized club to compete again with a club that’s almost on a different planet now but it’s taken 14 weeks of dithering and how ever many more to follow to not make a decision. It’s even taken a manager who’s universally unpopular with supporters to call them out and fair play to Bruce on that and yet still on the Monday morning after that debacle last night, they remain silent. So back to the start of this response - call their bluff, assume the ‘test’ has been passed, let them try and fail it and prepare for the court battle which would probably be as easy a walkover as it was for Man City last night.
