The Premier League have confirmed that the 2020/21season will begin on the 12th September – making a decision on the Saudi takeover front all the more important now the new campaign is just SEVEN weeks away.
They also reveal that the final round of matches will take place on the 23rd May 2021.
With this in mind we are now just weeks away from the new season, making it all the more important that we not only see a resolution ASAP to this tedious takeover saga but also get moving in the transfer window – which officially opens on Monday.
The clock is ticking and this announcement will only intensify the pressure on the Premier League to make a decision on this Saudi takeover saga once and for all.
Richard Masters said he hopes for a decision “shortly” the last time he spoke about the matter, yet here we are a month later being no closer to knowing what will come of this £300m bid that’s dragged on for far too long now.
COVID-19 has made things tough enough for clubs in 2020, however this added layer of limbo must be sorted soon – or it seriously threatens to impact our preparations for the upcoming season and risk our place in the division should the added uncertainty negatively impact our summer plans.
Back to matters on the pitch, here’s some key dates for fan to look forward to over the coming weeks and months:
