Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
They don't get the choice.
It's now also clear that Saudi Arabia had actually returned to the League to reach this decision.
It's looking increasingly likely both the club and PIF/RB/PCP will now pursue legal action against the league in the high court and CAS.
With Covid-19 and now China playing silly with the league, it really couldn't have come at a worse time. Allegiances aside, I really think the League called a very silly bluff to call here. If this went horribly wrong, they're looking at losing both the decision, the fees involved in the appeals and the subsequent fees involved in the ongoing takeover delays.
Essentially, a private entity just got tangled up in a legal war with a state. I really don't think they expected the response.
