There's more at play with @beINSPORTS_EN writing to complain to the @premierleague re: #NUFCTakeover
#NUFC

The Qataris are worried about the @PIFSaudi enteing the lucrative @premierleague because it would mean that they will likely be rivaled for broadcast rights in the MENA region by a likely Saudi or Saudi/UAE broadcast partnership

The Saudis are yet to delve into broadcast right for major sporting events. But with an imminent takeover of #NUFC in the most popular football league in the world, they will likely be looking into doing so in the near future.
A major worry for the @beINSPORTS_EN

I highly doubt the @premierleague will even consider this nonsense complaint from @beINSPORTS_EN as they will also see it as a massive opportunity. It's not every day you have the Sovereign Wealth Fund of one of the world's wealthiest nations enter your league.

If/When the Saudis decide to enter the race for the broadcast rights for the @premierleague in the MENA region this will likely lead to a bidding war with @beINSPORTS_EN which will no doubt drive up the total value of the deal = more money for clubs and the league

The @premierleague would be foolish to let this opportunity slip, and will likely ignore Bein's cute complaint letter.

This an expected game of cat and mouse which most #NUFC fans will unfortunately have to put up with. When/If the takeover is completed, I dont expect to see any transfer deals between #NUFC and #PSG (LIKE EVER), similar to #MCFC who dont do business with PSG.
To add insult to injury, imagine that after the #NUFCTakeover is completed, #NUFC complete the signing of Cavani on a Bosman transfer in the summer.
Wouldnt be surprised to see another complaint of sort lodged around that same time too.

Just a wee bedtime thread, but I doubt there's anything to worry about re: #NUFCTakeover
Sleep well #NUFC fans

Just to clarify, form my understanding @premierleague rights in the MENA region are with @beINSPORTS_EN until the end of the 2021/2022 season, hopefully by then #NUFC are back in the @ChampionsLeague and will have many more fans in #KSA and the #MiddleEast
