This had already been submitted 2 weeks ago. It's not a new article as such. Just expands on what the mystery evidence submitted was. It's thought the PL already dealt with it when it was sent in.

For the first time, the buyers have issued a response claiming serious foul play by Qatar by making deliberate smear attempts. They fully expect to conclude the takeover. The statement just seems to be a strong message about near guaranteed legal action if it didn't. Failing it opens a can of worms the PL wants absolutely no involvement in. That's the mindset of the Pro takeover journalists so far.

The media response via Staveleys camp is that Saudi Arabia will bid on the next round of TV rights for the MENA Region. A direct attack on Bein and Qatar.

The only side note to add is, the Premier league can't be seen to be waiting around for evidence of something to block a takeover, if they are and it can be proven then they can be accused of deliberately facilitating a failure of the test and pursued in a court.
