It is not us specifically. A good analogy would be supermarkets, when I was a kid we had Sainsbury’s, Asda, Tesco, Morrisons/Safeway. Germans came along and spent a lot on establishing Aldi and Lidl. The big four all lost revenue and profits as a result. Difference here is that there is no regulator stopping the new supermarkets coming in and disrupting other established businesses. That’s the real issue the PL have created.

Inclined to agree. They've dragged this out for long enough, I'd give them an extra 48 hours out of courtesy then if nothing satisfactory has been received by then you've got Friday to put things in motion formally. f*** them, drag them through the s*** Not how legal processess work - the ridiculous delay on the takeover refusal / non decision really has no bearing on them having a reasonable period of time to respond to a letter before action. Fair enough Is a week deemed unreasonable? Is 3 weeks more the norm? Yes - basically. I hope this action works - I am just trying to bring some objective reasonableness to the false hope and hyperbole this sort of thing creates. Yeah I get that, I'm still just frustrated at the sheer amount of time it's taking to get resolved one way or the other tbh. Feels like they will push the limits of time as much as possible deliberately - delay after delay after delay. It's highly annoying Exactly but hopefully that’s why they said one week initially in the anticipation that the Premier League would attempt to delay things. 1 + 2 is better than 3 + 2

I think it is without question that the club paid this groups legal fees. There are a few reasons for this I can think of: 1. The preferred legal route requires a ‘customer’ 2. They had written some letters a couple of months ago which had statutory response times, so this is the speedier route 3. Generally coordinated attack of the PL from all angles 4. To add further pressure on PL without directly antagonising them 5. To break the legal action in smaller chunks to possibly avoid lengthy pre-arguments on which courts have what jurisdiction 6. To make an early grab on all PL communications. Regardless have to move on from the idea that this is just a couple of chancers.

It’s still £5m compared to £300,000 to charity which is a shame

Before today my ITK ranking was: 1. Ando07 - very specific ITK but up to now infallible 2. GolfMag - clear access to interesting people who can provide useful context, but is only ever able to report on one mans version of events 3. Mimms - interesting stuff has a ring of plausibility to it but needed to have something pulled off to confirm this. Safe to say Mimms is now number one.
