    There is absolutely no way on earth Mike Ashley would spend money on the best QC's in the field and persue a legal challenge unless he had received assurances the deal would be pushed through in the end.

    Without the Saudi's giving him the belief they will still buy, he would be wasting his time and money just to say to the PL they were wrong. What else could he gain from a legal case? He cant sue the PL for the 300m he would have gotten because he still has the asset and has lost nothing.

    One thing im 100% certain of, if this deal does not happen within the next 6 weeks, we are fecked and probably going down. Burnley have got their first win and are out of the bottom 3, whereas we cant even have a shot on target when we play
    I've hung my hat on this theory too....

    It's like being really into a lass who is really into you but her folks aren't keen (cos you;re a wee terror )....eventually, after many weeks of wistful glances as you pass each other in the street, your eye will be caught by someone else and before you know it you've fallen for someone else.

    Or something like that.
    what tanya said also - it isn't like thats all the money they have - if something else catches their eye they can go and buy that as well - as long as it isn't another football team !!
