I would see it as the same as a lot of middle Eastern problems and football, same as the Qatar World Cup, why are people turning a blind eye to it in day to day life but then questioning it as soon as they dip their toe into football? So yes I would, due to ignorance and the belief that politically nothing in going to change i accept what the Saudis are doing now so I would accept them once they've bought a football club, I have no opinion on them now or then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not convinced, I still don’t understand why they have this 3-way if they want to throw a shedload of money at the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it just doesn't smell right, even if it does eventually go through, until we're sat here in 10 years time and they've spent a billion quid I'm not convinced by it all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 So many media outlets have lost any remaining shreds of credibility by saying “it’s done”, “it’s happening”etc for weeks on end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 BBC reporting the takeover is delayed further as the Premier League arent sure who will actually take over the ownership of the club 16 weeks now, pretty sure it was arranged before lockdown. Definitely something suspicious about this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Got no chance of doing anything in this transfer window. Bruce will probably remain in charge for the full season so think it will be more of the same of grinding their way to 14th or wherever they ended up. Certainly should be trying to finish above them next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a shame if they were to go down before new cashed up ownership was able to splurge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
