Just when I thought I was out, they grab me and pull me right back in again <laugh>

How many times have the Athletic reported that its imminent?

When was the last time we saw an elite manager with a truly s*** squad? If the takeover happens, this might occur.
I mean its not going to happen, but imagine the chaos if conte had to manage Joelinton and Jonjo

Only took them a year and a half to deal with this obvious problem...

Edit: Big shock that a league might actually let you into its little club of the super-rich if you stop stealing from its lucrative TV partners that fund this pyramid.

Funny how quickly things may have changed after some information had to be made public in the courts...

If this is what it took to get it through - the only ones holding things up was Saudi Arabia dragging their feet on ceasing TV piracy and permitting bein sports.

Problem is assuming "that's all it takes" we don't know what hoops the PL would have made them jump through in private, under public scrutiny it's easy to claim it was just a simple solution. But I doubt there would be hefty legal fees paid if the issue was this simple.

Is it too early to start the January transfer window thread?

Surely the Saudis will deduct the £4m payoff from their offer!
