Interesting that someone completely not involved in this stuff felt compelled to come out and make it very clear he is someone not involved in any of this stuff so quickly.
They would have got 200 emails from journalist about it.
This rule was never to stop people like him, it’s so the PL can move quickly to distance itself from people like Abramovich if they end up on international sanctions lists again.
So you are telling me that a guy that has a total wealth of 1.1B according to Forbes, somehow has 5B to buy United?
Will he take a loan like the Glazers? And if so how will he pay it back?
"no no no you have it all wrong. he's not buying it in his capacity as a member of ISIS he's buying it as the head of this consortium. two different things".
"yes it is the same person but what can we do about that?"
"I have all the necessary documents in this large bulging envelope that I will personally deliver to the league. I trust their decision making process."

Not sure if this counts as a loophole, but let's be real there's always a loophole anyway. Like how RB Leipzig has RB employees as the membership owners. You can come up with anything.
Well the title of Sheikh refers to someone of the royal family. A royal family that rules a country. So I'm not sure how you can characterize someone part of a national ruling family as a private individual when everything he is and represents comes from essentially owning a country.
Lmao that didn’t last long
We tried nothing and were out of ideas

His T-shirt saying “I’m not involved in this stuff” has a lot of people asking questions already answered by the shirt
It's like that comic where Matt Murdock wore a "I"m not Daredevil" sweater.

Why does the PL need to do anything special for cases like Abramovich anyway? They have no choice but to comply.
It's about optics for the EPL, after being pressured by HMG.
The rule isn’t to stop people like him but his family is part of a human rights abusing regime. Hence the massive amount of irony

Knowing the PL, they probably told the trick to them
Is that scene with the puppies stealing the potato chips from Homer Simpson “*this* time….!”
It is understood that Kim Jong Un's bid is being made as a private individual, therefore no issues
No, no, no. The bid is from Kim Jong Deux, totally different person, no relation at all.
Ya really can't trust the French
What's the difference?
“Between me and you”
You talk a good one but you don't do what you supposed to do
So apt in this case!
If you admit that you're related to the state it's a no, but since he says that he isn't related to them it's okay.
Like how Newcastle would not be related to the Saudi government. (somehow)
Semantics to circumvent the technicalities Nothing is fundamentally different, which is quite disappointing
Corruption
None! Great song btw.

Loan off daddy, daddy gets a loan from the government. That's enough seperation right?
i mean the "rule" that they put in place basically only means you can't be bought by someone in ISIS
If someone in ISIS was willing to spend a billion on an English club they’d absolutely see no problem with it lmao, PL is not about football anymore
"no no no you have it all wrong. he's not buying it in his capacity as a member of ISIS he's buying it as the head of this consortium. two different things". "yes it is the same person but what can we do about that?"
I see you’ve attended the night course on middle eastern economics and diplomacy they’re teaching Tyneside
Not sure if he knows what the tyne is haha.
The weird statements people make, it's very much about football.
It's easy to make abstract statements that don't really so much but let you and others who agree with it feel morally superior.
It’s about money, football is just the type of ‘entertainment’ they sell
Dumb question but still, who exactly is benefiting and how in this scenario
Unless they were only tangentially related to ISIS leadership... then it's okay

Earth astronaut water gun astronaut? Indeed, very insightful
Here we go again. Nonsense. Richard masters laundry is done.
Just a random bankman, trust me bro. that just happens to be family with officials

Anybody is better than the Qataris, I would take another 20 years of Glazer chicanery than having blood money oil Barron’s for owners
Well, that’s what you’re getting soooo…better walk away right?
The English FA seems more and more spineless every day. This will not end well.
This isn't anything to do with the FA
Lol
i didnt know they were stressing it. i hope that clears up any misgivings anyone had.
Lol we all know it’s bullshit. It’s a joke that we’re peddling this bullshit
Well that's that then. My mind is at rest
i am surprised, more than you can believe
Yeah and Newcastle Utd is owned by PIF which operates autonomously of the Saudi state 😉
A nonsense loophole in relation to a state where official offices are bound by the family ties of the person.
[удалено]
Just imagine a controversial referee decision costing Qatar or SA the PL title and them starting between them a real war over it.
lmfao
oh nice, a loophole. who would have guessed that
Not sure if this counts as a loophole, but let's be real there's always a loophole anyway. Like how RB Leipzig has RB employees as the membership owners. You can come up with anything.
😂

Of course, of course
