If we really are assessing the character of the targets then we shouldn’t be in for him then…

Time to try again and sign him up?

VPCBA just flew over the coast into NCL from farnborough. Private jet. Anything exciting?

It’s pretty on topic for anyone even contemplating taking any notice of what your opinion is. You’re basically sticking pencils up your nose and saying “wibble”.

Any credibility you had left is now shot to shit. What a moron.

What is the dependency between league safety and the arbitration? If the arbitration is on the directors test and who is subject to it, it's separate from our league status?

1) If it can be proven the O&D Test was not applied in line with their own rules and regulations it's a very easy argument to make that Ashley has suffered a loss at their hands. 2) If it can be proven that loss was incurred because of the PL's failure then he will be entitled to compensation. 3) The amount of compensation would be directly in line with the impacts of the breach and Ashleys side would argue the PL's failure put him in a financially worse position and that, had the rules been correctly applied, he'd have been long gone and could not therefore have incurred said losses. I don't think it's beyond the realms of possiblity that this impending doom plays into Ashleys hands from a strictly legal perspective. I understand the argument but don't agree, the failed takeover doesn't stop him running the club. If I was trying to sell a car and someone wrongly prevented that sale you could try and claim compensation. If you then stopped servicing the car and it subsequently broke down you can't go back and blame that person. Unless the person preventing you selling that car is, in effect, a regulator I'm not sure the analogy works but it was just a thought anyway. It does touch upon the larger question, what is Ashley trying to get out of the current legal channels and what are the possible outcomes. Kennedy and the like say it's to clear the way for a takeover but would anyone be surprised if he was just trying to get compensation... Doesn't tie in with reports that PIF are the only option he'll consider I suppose.

They don't have a leg to stand on to try and make any arguments that blame the current position of the team on the PL impacting a takeover. It shouldn't stop the day to day running of the club. Also, if you wanted to get more analytical about it, Ashley has a history of this exact situation of shite ownership leading to relegation before the failed PIF takeover.

Nowt exciting, move on... The site is still hosted by SD (on a shared rackspace server) https://securitytrails.com/list/ip/92.52.109.248

Interesting flight history.

It really doesn’t. The sun just lifted it from Twitter. As it says in the article.

Didn't think SD had a direct connection to nufc. Ashley owns it himself through MASH?

Caulkin replying to someone on twitter asking if he thinks takeover will happen soon.

Any flyers left?

More shocking is how close Pep is in considerably less time. Wonder how much of Mourhinos spending was in the last 9 years though. Prices have risen rapidly.

What would you choose; still in the premiership next year with Allardyce as manager or the championship with Benitez...

Sameobi was on the Bristol flight up to NCL this morning. Tight arse didn't even pay for speedy boarding...

Sums up the internet, really. Everything is either amazing or terrible, everyone is either a hero or a twat. Always the extremes. I like how if the person answering hasnt heard of him its a bad signing. Logic win.

This is more like an advert for SD so far. It's a double cross. He's an Ashley undercover who's undercover.

Have I got the wrong end of the stick, was the oft quoted Bobby Robson "club" actually written by George for his book?

Fuck off and die.
