Yeah, had thought that as well, getting it set up. But again, you'd think the best outcome would just be for the PL to accept arbitration and reconsider anyway. Guess it acts as a threat hanging over them in case they don't. Would be nice to know more about where arbitration is at.

The second one, I've lost 14 years of enjoyment here.

If we'd won arbitration though, wouldn't the PL have to reconsider their decision anyway? And they would do that without having to be sued, you'd think. It's confusing TBH.

Actually both things could happen - reconsideration and damages to Ashley. I’m not sure exactly what powers this tribunal has.

It just says that the sale didn't go through as it should have, at the time it would have.

Not quite, it says “lost the immediate sale, or the likely opportunity of…” It is strange that this is happening if arbitration is still a possibility mind.

Aye, now.

The powerhouse the fans deserve? Cheeky fucker, spend some money, you own it now you cunt.

Eh?

I'm sure it isn't, it's a sign we can tie down a player and retain their transfer value.

He's said all this and we're still not actually safe.

They’ve trained twice this week, it’s inhuman.

There was a time when Aguero was absolutely terrifying, you just knew he was going to destroy you.

Yeah, quite like it, don't see why he shouldn't. Better that than another gambling website.

I'm not sure it even means he's staying. If the club activate their option to extend his contract, he could still ask/look for a move away. Which if I was him, I would have already started.

I'm not sure why we would agree to go to arbitration, nominate the panel, and appeal the third panel member for a delay of several months, if we thought we could settle without it.

I mean, I hope so, but he could have escaped with dignity any time he wanted. Just admit you're not up to it and resign.

You can cross contract expiry off that list, they'll offer him a new contract.

This is basically how I feel about paedophiles really, though I don’t expect it to be popular. Course you can (and probably should) extend that logic to anyone who commits a whole range of different crimes. They will all have causes behind them which have driven the person to act that way. Yet we still hold them responsible.

Same I think. Actually kind of wanted us to go down so I could watch the premier league without hearing about us.

You'd find out quickly when he dispensed with the lot of them.

I get why people might not like him.

We basically have no punditry or analysis. People like TIFO and The Kick Off are miles ahead of anything on the big broadcasters.

Verratti’s gone, he’s next up.
