Rejected officially

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union all industries were run by the state,Abramovich had somehow made enough billions to buy into the now privatised oil and gas industry's.At the very least he was a big hitter on the black market but he owns Chelsea.

Abroad Real Madrid for years have been backed by the Spanish Royal Family,we have issued statements that there would be no interference from the Saudi Royal family.

Ashley should sue or at least appeal against that decision.

id be amazed if Ashley didnt take this to court. The prem were given written evidence from the highest court in the KSA stating that the government would not interfere in NUFC. The prem have dismissed this as lies. Who are they to determine who would be involved.
Even as the statement says, the rejection didnt come down to piracy or human rights, its purely the autonomy of the state

Be interesting to see where this goes.

I want to see one of two outcomes.

Either Ashley/the Saudis, etc take them to court and their decision is ruled unlawful, allowing the takeover to go ahead and the PL avoid flak for allowing it...

Or it goes to court and the costs bankrupt the corrupt PL c.unts.

i'd honestly rather the second option. The prem are corrupt, our fan base will always last. We can come back from everything.
Can you see Manure, Chelsea, Arsenal fans doing that? NO! they will all scurry off back to London etc

Actually, I'd prefer the 3rd option. The PL are told their decision is unlawful and have to reverse it, the takeover happens AND the buyers still sue the PL to the extent that they fold and have to be replaced by a new body. Masters and his mates all lose their jobs and end up having to serve burgers on matchdays under the Gallowgate.

I’m thinking more on the lines of - there’s your rejection, we know we can’t win in arbitration/court so we’ll make it easy for you- you win we win we all win except Bein who can’t sue any ****ers!! And are dumped out in the cold

Have just read the club statement again. Why does it say " The club and its owners do not accept that PL chief executive Richard Masters have acted .......... ( not typing the rest )
We don't have owners do we, we just have an owner.

St James Holdings own us. Mike owns them

So what is the PL reason for blocking the deal ? they must know they are just causing more trouble by coming out with this but its masters and co so no surprise. Lets hope Ashley Staveley and the Saudi's all take the PL to court they would win the case and hopefully leave the PL totally humilated and skint.
