    31st July was something I read, not certain if its true. Would fit in with what quite a few are saying about no news until the season is finished. That finishes on 26th July.
    Could be something in it I don't know. The sponsorship is Saudi Telecom which is 70 percent PIF owned.

    Last time I try to edit a post on my phone...deleting my own posts!

    I remember the massive outcry when that deal was announced.

    MPs raising the issue
    Letters to the papers, to Parliament, to the club
    Family members of murdered dissidents getting involved
    Premier League clubs saying they're not comfortable with it
    Various media figures speaking of their unease...nay outrage!!! that this could be allowed
    Carpenters across the country running out of wood and nails because they were buidling so many ****ing moral high horses for fans of other clubs to sit on


    ....ah, no, wait......none of that happened.

    ******* hypocrites the lot of them.

    All of these people will never watch a Marvel movie ever again, Saudi Arabia now owns a chunk of disney, who own Marvel. Or use facebook, use Uber or fly on a Boeing plane.

    Or complain about the Saudis on Twitter or fill up their car without checking where the oil came from.

    Also everything from Vaseline to plastics & polyester clothing contains oil. EVERYTHING uses OIL.

    so anyone wearing no natural materials is a hypocrite.

    FFS, man....Bruce is talking about transfer plans and wants to keep Bentaleb.

    We are fucked if he stays (partly because if he's still here after the Summer then the takeover hasn't happened)- imagine thinking Bentaleb would be a good purchase!!

    apparently sifting through the piles of media junk the saudis had offered to buy the rights but the the pl said no wait till 2022 however again apparently the saudis banned bein from showing asian football last year and because bein were then in breach of contract to show football in saudi arabia the saudis got an exclusive asian tv deal for themselves
