U izveštaju WTO nigde se ne spominje Saudijski Investicioni Fond (PIF) koji želi da kupi Newcastle United. Dakle, sve je na Premier League koja mora da odluči da li će dozvoliti prodaju Newcastle Uniteda ili ne.

Nadamo se da će Premier League odobriti prodaju Newcastle Uniteda.

Međutim, Sky i BBC izveštaj tumače na neki svoj (negativan) način. Oni još uvek pišu da je prodaja Newcastle Uniteda pod velikim znakom pitanja. Stavljeni su na onu moju listu, znate već koju.

BeIN Sports je u svom obraćanju rekao da ako Premier League odobri prodaju Newcastle Uniteda to će izgledati kao kad "pustite lisicu u kokošinjac". Još su dodali da će sledeći put za TV prava ponuditi daleko manje para nego što su ponudili prošli put a to je 500 miliona funti.

To je samo dokaz na koji i kakav način Katarci sklapaju poslove - podmićivanjem, ucenama i kmečanjem. Nema nikakvih problema. Ako Premier League odobri prodaju Newcastle Uniteda verovatno će neka TV stanica iz Saudijske Arabije ponuditi isto ako ne i više para od beIN Sportsa.

Da se ne lažemo, piraterija je postojala ali ključno je da WTO nije pronašla vezu između ljudi koji su pokrenuli beoutQ platformu i PIF-a i princa Mohammada Bin Salmana, što će nadam se olakšati Premier League da donese odluku o prodaji Newcastle Uniteda PIF-u.

BeoutQ je uklonjen sa satelita u avgustu 2019. godine ali i dalje set-top boxovi mogu da se kupe za 100 dolara na kojima se i d alje prenosi Premier League, La Liga, Seria A, Formula 1. Saudijska Arabija takođe može potpuno da ugasi beoutQ i tako pokaže Premier League da je spremna da sarađuje i potpuno ugasi pirateriju u toj zemlji. To bi bila win-win situacija za sve strane.

Dakle, odluku donosi Premier League i ne preostaje nam ništa drugo nego da je sačekamo. Ponavljam, nadam se da će ona biti pozitivna za Newcastle United, kako bi naš klub konačno krenuo napred.

Čini se da je Mike Ashley (konačno) rešio i uspeo da proda Newcastle United.

U utorak su svi relevantni sajtovi (SKY, BBC) u Britaniji objavili vest da će Mike Ashley prodati klub za sumu od 300 miliona funti.

Kupac će biti PIF (Saudijski bord) kojem upravlja Prince Mohammed bin Salman i on će imati 80% vlasništva u klubu. Amanda Staveley će imati 10% vlasništva a preostalih 10% će imati braća David i Simon Reuben.

Navodno, posao je sklopljen i svi papiri su poslati Premier League, kako bi novi vlasnik prošao test (što je navodno formalnost)

Ostaje nam da čekamo zvaničnu vest o prodaji kluba. Davno sam rekao, da dok ne vidim novog gazdu na St James' Parku sa crno-belim šalom oko vrata i ugovor sa pečatom i potpisima, nikome ne verujem.

At a meeting of Premier League Shareholders today, clubs discussed in detail how to respond to the COVID-19 global pandemic.

First and foremost, it was reaffirmed that the overriding priority is to aid the health and wellbeing of the nation and our communities, including players, coaches, managers, club staff and supporters.

Season restart

It was acknowledged that the Premier League will not resume at the beginning of May – and that the 2019/20 season will only return when it is safe and appropriate to do so.

The restart date is under constant review with all stakeholders, as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic develops and we work together through this very challenging time.

The Premier League is working closely with the whole of professional football in this country, as well as with the Government, public agencies and other relevant stakeholders to ensure the game achieves a collaborative solution.

With this, there is a combined objective for all remaining domestic league and cup matches to be played, enabling us to maintain the integrity of each competition.

However, any return to play will only be with the full support of the Government and when medical guidance allows.

The sporting and financial implications for Premier League clubs as well as for The FA, EFL and National League were considered at today’s meeting.

Consulting players

In the face of substantial and continuing losses for the 2019/20 season since the suspension of matches began, and to protect employment throughout the professional game, Premier League clubs unanimously agreed to consult their players regarding a combination of conditional reductions and deferrals amounting to 30 per cent of total annual remuneration.

This guidance will be kept under constant review as circumstances change.

The League will be in regular contact with the PFA, and the union and the LMA will join a meeting which will be held tomorrow between the League, players and club representatives.

Solidarity with clubs below PL

Discussions also took place regarding financial relief for clubs in the short term and while there is no single solution, measures are to be put in place to immediately deal with the impact of falling cash flow.

Critically, the League unanimously voted to advance funds of £125 million to the EFL and National League as it is aware of the severe difficulties clubs throughout the football pyramid are suffering at this time.

NHS:

In consultation with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, the Premier League is immediately committing £20 million to support the NHS, communities, families and vulnerable groups during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This includes a direct financial contribution to the NHS and funds to enable clubs to refocus their efforts and develop significant outreach programmes to help communities, including those most in need.

This funding will enable both immediate and longer-term support during the crisis.
