Angry Premier League clubs demand emergency meeting!

[Cannylad]

As someone else said, the fact they are claiming they were told about it too late (where have they been the last 18 months?) shows/proves that the other clubs do in fact have a say , and obviously have said their pieces to stop this deal go through , despite what the pl claim.

In my view the deal was passed because the pl knew they couldn’t allow arbitration to take place as it would publically expose the level of corruption they gave employed to delay this deal in the hope the Saudis would go away.

Always was this mate.

Too right. It looks to me like Masters, after bowing down to the big six for too long, finally took some responsibility for the position he holds. If I was being kind I’d say it’s because he finally ‘grew a pair’ but more likely it was a pure desperate move for self preservation.

[Alberts__Lob]

Aye you're probably right toonlegend......the PL were asking for evidence at the arbitration hearing to remain private i believe

Daniel Envy should focus on hes own team.

Went on a couple of other boards yesterday - Villa were generally OK about it, Liverpool was an odd one - some didn’t begrudge us, others thought we are so far behind we won’t be a threat for ages, one bloke though called us the usual - deluded, horrible fans, don’t deserve anything, hope we get relegated etc. etc. Weird how someone who can clearly read and write can come up with that generalisation for 50,000 regulars and however many with some sort of support for the club. There’ll be Doctors, teachers, paramedics, people who’ve served to name a few respected professions with Toon affinity but this geezer has all of us as a bunch of scum

Not at all resentfull, I welcome any club that can ruffle the feathers of the top 4. I'm happy wuth our owners, they are pumping as much as they. Our owner who has a personal wealth of a miserly 12B, He will inherit his Fathers wealth having just past, that was 78B. It makes no odds thougj as FFP is the one to watch although we could both take a lesson from Citeh who know plenty of loopholes. Money can be spent a plenty, plans granted for redevelopment of VP to 60K. As I said its all going along well and now the same for you Toon fans. I'm sure the big names will come, just got to make sure you survive this season! Good luck lads, Enjoy the ride and ignore the jealousy coming from City and Utd fans.UTV

It’ll be class if we both get up to the top, if they’re whinging & whining now before a ball has been kicked, imagine what they’ll be like when the there’s a bit more competition for champions league places

Him and Joe Lewis were trying to sell to the PIF, But wanted about 3 Billion for the Spuds.

Story doing the rounds that the Glaziers turned down a mega offer from PIF a few years ago, presumably thought they could sting them for a few quid more but they didn’t play ball. It sounds vaguely familiar from when this whole 18 month saga started with us. I hope our new owners are keen to stick one over those who’ve wronged them in the past!

I haven`t laughed so much for a long time after reading all the shee ite coming from the other clubs, top six exposed with the so called Super League and now crying foul. Can`t wait for the new songs to come along....camel ****e on barrack road to the tune of gannin along the etc. Priceless, exciting times ahead

[trinitoon]

Couldn't care less. All noise.

Calling out the Super League is a fair shout. When they were willing to sell the entire Premier League down the river, the big boys didn't give a sh'it then. All of a sudden, it is all about "integrity".

We're in a competition and I missed the memo that said you've got to get your competitors to like you. Ridiculed for goodness knows how long... now some fortune comes our way and they're all up in arms. Suited them when Ashley and "deluded fans" were the narrative; now it can be something different, they don't like it.

Fu'ck 'em. If it doesn't work out for us in the end, they'll all be there to laugh at us. So just ignore either way.
