Staveley might have wanted to check she was contacting the right person if she was doing it so publicly Tracey was more of a Cc jobby

I don't think it proves one way or the other. There could be something groundbreaking but as you say arbitration doesn't appear to have started so a decision could be months away. IF (big obviously) they could force it public, then it may expedite a settlement. Or there could be completely different reason for this that we're not privy to. Or all the ITKs could be full of shit

It's bellends calling out the "other" threads and then bitching when they come over to retaliate that is particularly silly.

Someone needs to spray "I want to" above that

Does it then become about their rules are unlawful if they are deemed anti-competition?

He did call you a cunt so potentially Edit - I thought it was tongue in cheek to be fair

It surely means nothing imo. I believe Rafa would have bitten their hand off if a takeover had developed but I don't blame him taking a guaranteed, equally tempting project whilst legal cases still have to be played out.

GDM was bitching about Manorpark who then reacted in the other thread. You crowed in the other thread about dropping some realism in this one. You were both fishing and now you've lost your pond.

No one's asking you to be part of it. The players want to do it and now you won't watch them because of it - what about their free speech? And you talk about someone not being able to handle other people's opinions.

For defending those games we're winning 1-1.

I thought it was quite funny you miserable fuckers

It's just a bit lazy reporting to fit the narrative. He may have been contacted and has said he isn't currently available. Maybe that's the romantic in me but it's not crazy to believe he could be waiting for what would be the mother of all projects. Sure he can have a year off after a bumper China pay day!

Exactly this, kinda think if you're meeting dickheads constantly you probably need to re-evaluate your social circles.

Fuck me

We need to stop using Ben and Keith as the barometer for the takeover. It isn't going to fail because Ben is a bit more polished and slick, or because Keiths spelling is iffy. Not will it pass just because Keith is passionate and Ben made some bad life choices a decade ago. They're both feeding off 2nd hand info or their own research and adding their opinions.

Didn't Ben J speak to the some of the other clubs and said they also got them? Have to say I never understood what it proves either way. PL can't stop people sending letters and unless you can prove the PL let it sway them then why does it matter?

I'm sure I'm missing something but... 1. the PL will only disqualify someone if it's been agreed that additional people/parties need testing and the buyers don't disclose the info. 2. However if the buyers don't agree they need testing, then arbitration takes place to decide whether they do or not. Surely 2 has to happen before 1 so there was no disqualification decision to be made as we didn't accept arbitration? Its very confusing

Someone with absolutely no say or influence getting the better of someone else with no say or influence. Since when did these 2 become symbolic of whether or not the takeover happens? Their verbal jousting means fuck all.

George Gallohaway the lads

I had thought they'd named several specific people and it was just Staveley that mentioned the state but it's a little hazy now! I do agree it felt that piracy was what they were angling for though.

Unless I'm mistaken, the issue isn't necessarily that they won't pass, it's just that they/MBS or whoever won't agree to being submitted as a person with control.

Weekends suck dick, I hate the sun, love being miserable and don't appreciate you forcing your viewpoint on to me. Save it for the blind optimism thread please (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)

It has pretty much nil impact on anyone outside of football so I'm not too sure how much a judge is going to be swayed by the PL. Though we should probably attempt to dismiss any judge who supports a big 6 team due to bias

That's not new info really, just peoples opinion. The reality, as Jackie B has said, is likely different.

Lincoln got an emergency keeper signed yesterday and sounds like he's made some decent stops ? They'll be raging at the injustice
