I can't imagine much, pretty much the best Spurs players he inherited.

Genie Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Tom Ross posted this on his Facebook page Quote This is a statement from the Premier League on the possibility of a return to live football. I would Imagine the Championship will follow suit #AVFC #wwfc #BCFC #WBAFC At a meeting of Premier League Shareholders today, clubs discussed possible steps towards planning to resume the 2019/20 season, when it is safe and appropriate to do so. It was reiterated that the thoughts of all are with those directly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the Premier League’s priority is the health and safety of players, coaches, managers, club staff, supporters and the wider community. The League and clubs are considering the first tentative moves forward and will only return to training and playing with Government guidance, under expert medical advice and after consultation with players and managers. The League welcomed the creation of the Government medical working group for a return of elite sport, which met for the first time this morning. No decisions were taken at today’s Shareholders’ meeting and clubs exchanged views on the information provided regarding "Project Restart". It was agreed that the PFA, LMA, players and managers are key to this process and will be further consulted. The clubs reconfirmed their commitment to finishing the 2019/20 season, maintaining integrity of the competition and welcomed the Government’s support. Nothing interesting then.

Wouldn’t have dragged out for weeks like this. I've read some weird stuff that Amanda Staveley and the Reuben Brothers will be buying the club then selling the majority to the Saudi investment fund. No idea how this would be beneficial so could just be internet bollocks. It is interesting though as if Amanda Staveley puts up £30m of the cash for 10% then the Saudis pump £600m into the club over the next few years (presumably by issuing shares) her share would go down to a little over 3% unless she invests another £60m herself, which I don't think she could. I understand the value of the club will increase, but with little room at the top I just don't see how they add enough value to compensate this. Maybe I'm looking too much into it and she simply wants a seat at the table which would add up with her previous involvement in takeovers. Just seems weird that the person with by far the least resources seems to have little to gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were supposed to be taken over many months ago by some mega rich middle eastern guys. Apparently it was pretty much a done deal back then as well. This seem oddly familiar.

If the Saudis have these hundreds of billions why do they want/need to piss about with these share deals? I thought she was just hired to do the deal on their behalf, and I’d assume would get paid as cash or a share for her trouble.

Nothing else makes sense but the speculation is making it all so confused. Although the Reuben brothers are disgustingly wealthy it also seems weird them willing to be minority investors, although I understand they own a lot of Newcastle city centre so maybe that’s their main interest.

I’ve seen people mention that the Saudi state pirates Bein and plays PL games for free, which is probably the only thing likely to make the PL pause for thought.
