Well people need to make their mind up.
Demands for scrupulous fit and proper persons tests demanded and that's what's done for this deal.
How can you have a club owner involved in the illegal streaming of football across the globe ?

Not how I read between the lines the Saudis were fed up of the delay and the Covid scenario changed their mind they pulled out no one knows whether they would have passed the EFL test as they hadn't reached a decision.
 
i certanly would not trust the Saudis full stop, nor would most who aint making money out of em. imho.

Come on Andy !
It's in the public domain that they were streaming illegally.
Delays caused by their unscrupulous tv antics - directly removing revenue from the sponsors of football in the UK !
I'm sure Sky and BT would have been delighted to have them on board.

Well if it's that obvious which it was from day one my point again is why hasn't the EFL reacted straight away and blocked them then waste of space that's why.
 
Agree with you andyd but the EFL must make money out of all the talks and meetings, when you look back at the Bury fiasco it was obvious from the start that they weren't going to be allowed to carry on, but there had to be exploratory talks, consultations with people who had to fill out forms and produce evidence of funds etc, etc, etc. which even if they were obvious non runners the forms were handed over the the legal department and at the end of the day a press conference is held to say that it isn't going to happen.
 
Sheffield Wednesday handed 12 points deduction for next season escaped a further 21 points after being found not guilty of some breach of rule took ages for this court series of lawyers and the like to come to another inconsistent punishment, Derby meanwhile may have to wait for eternity for their decision what a farce football has become.

As there was a break away from the EFL in 1992 and they have no powers in this matter.

The WTO objected and the PL can't make a decision without a proper investigation.

thats what you get when the game stopped being a sport and became a big multy million pound business. has the game itself for spectators inproved over the years due to this. might have better grounds to watch games on but thats the end of it. stanley are definately one of the odd men out in the modern game. having an owner, MD and players who are approachable is light years away from the game at the top.
