Just watched this episode and I would highly recommend anyone interested in takeover proceedings to put this on (skip the first 32 minutes as this is when it gets interesting). Keith produced 2 bits of evidence that have been in the public domain so arent breaking any NDAs. Firstly a letter by Masters to someone in June where he calls PIF 'a company based in Saudi Arabia' and secondly a letter by BeIn Sports where they say they would strongly oppose a takeover. Also a bit of talk about Hoffmans role throughout this and Keith says evidence will come out eventually showing Masters and Hoffman knew about ESL and were possibly even involved. Cant help but feel extremely positive and confident after hearing him speak. He must have some pretty good sources and definitely seems to know the laws. Good stuff

I like Keith think hes genuinely got some high up contacts. I don't believe Hollywood have approached him to make a movie about it though

So we have went from watching Companies House to then watching planes, helicopters and boats and now we need to keep an eye on the moon's position?!

True Faith released a special podcast tonight with Alex Hurst, Mick Martin and some legal expert. The legal guy is 100% convinced this isnt about forcing a takeover but all about Ashley getting money. Worth a listen

I am of the thought that this is where we are at. It could also likely have been a mutual settlement without the need for arbitration. I would be shocked if we heard anything until we are mathematically safe. Regarding people's opinions that it hasnt started yet (Kennedy, Keith Pattinson, etc) they didnt have a clue whatsoever when we were appealing the chief arbitrator over Christmas. This tells me that it all happened without any leaks at all. Think the same could be happening right now

I am getting sick to death of Edwards constantly highlighting any negative issues regarding this takeover. Only the other day he claimed he has been accurate throughout the takeover (lets forget about his statement saying the Saudi deal was over in September, Henry Mauriss fiasco and recently his claims that the club is no longer for sale only to be shown up by a club statement days later) I can kind of see his point regarding this but its the way he behaves that infuriates supporters. If this does go through he will look a right fool

As a pure uneducated guess I'll go for: I reckon he has uncovered evidence of Masters and Hoffman taking bribes from either board members of one of the big 6 or BeIn Sports* *Allegedly

Going a bit under the radar but I think he has been outstanding recently. Apart from Max he was our best player today. Really happy for him!

He'll end up changing the filter by mistake and sit through the whole meeting with the face of a dog like the lawyer the other month

Genuinely could give a fuck how crap we were 2nd half its all about the points at this stage of the season. 7 points from 9 was unthinkable after the Brighton game. Just get through this season and lets see what the summer brings! As an aside West Ham love a 3-2 match. Everytime I watch them its 3-2

Read somewhere that Reubens are the major investors in Castore. Not sure how true it is like.

Anyone hear what he said to Sky Sports after the match. Utterly mind boggling " We can't get carried away but back-to-back wins in the Premier League is huge. It sets us up nicely, we've got some tough challenges but this helps. Let's hope our players stay fit. As good as I think I am, I need our best players." BACK TO BACK WINS? Its like the Palace game, etched from his memory all over again

Accumulation of points Scott

Need more of this now from the newspapers. I think even Bruce himself doesn't even want to be here anymore, you can tell by his demeanour and body language last couple of games. Genuinely think he'd rather want to be sacked then finish the season. One of the guys on GallowgateShots made a great point about Bruce's character. Sheff Wed gave him a couple of months off to recover from heart surgery and death of his parents, a very nice thing to do. He repayed their kindness by leaking information about his contract when he heard we were in for him and left them in the shit. An absolute snake who only cares about himself.

And like clockwork his arsehole mate crawls out the woodwork to defend him saying we need his experience. Whole thing is bordering on ridiculous ?

??? I don't think I have ever heard him say its his fault

Looking forward to another morning of controversy ?

If we do win the case but get relegated the value will drop say £100m.now my thinking but not sure if possible is that Ashley could still sell to PIF for £200m and claim loss of earnings of £100m against the Premier League? Maybe this is why he won't sack Bruce as he knows he'll get his £300m anyway even if we get relegated. Could be a bit far fetched but I think he would have a good case as they acted against the rules

Godfather of Sports Law vs Lionel Messi of Sports Law

"Just having a look at the judgment. Don’t forget the default position is that arbitration claims are usually private proceedings x" The above is what she tweeted at 11.55am so I imagine she is going through those documents Nick DeMarco put on twitter earlier. Probably hear her views on it this evening

At least one good thing comes out of the club statement - This is about getting a takeover done not about compensation for Ashley

Being touted as El Jurassico on twitter. Two of the games biggest dinosaurs going head to head ? v ?

Bruce says the person who leaked stories is borderline 'treason' :lol:

So in the 15 minutes since 10.45 we have had adverts, 2 minutes of Hope, more adverts, update at the cricket, more adverts, 11.00 news and no doubt more adverts afterwards. Don't know how people listen to this station every day
