What happens if arbitration fails will be interesting to hear.

The main issue is that any buyer would absolutely not buy the club in that scenario. It would be a huge gamble. PL would probably do fuck all tbh but would never ever happen.

You know somebody is a complete cunt when they talk over another person and won't let them get a word in. See also - Bruce, Steve.

I don't agree with "there doesn't seem to be anything deal breaking in the case" Nobody knows either way, and just because these statements have been released doesn't mean its because we have a weak case. Personally I believe we have the PL right where we want them (with strong evidence) and the club and buyers want everybody to see just how shitty the PL are and exactly what they've been up to, hence making it public.

It either suggests she is just confident and wants not just a takeover but to exposure a lack of integrity or she is only making bold claims because she feels she has nothing to lose. for me would be less positive for the takeover happening. We wait and see! Groundbreaking journalism from Jacobs there. Either Staveley wins or loses. Either she's confident or she isn't. Either there is corruption or there isn't. Hit us with those cold hard facts my man and don't you sit on the fence as you do.

I'd imagine just about every player who was here under Rafa will be texting him saying "please get me away from Bruce" Except of course, Shelvey.

They really really really want to buy this club. It's fantastic.

Yep mixing it in with footage and commentary from previous games, fantastic. Always so much better than ITV coverage.

£5 freebet on both teams to have 3+ corners in each half comes in for £165. Final £5 freebet on the same in the Italy game for £125.

Really? Wow would have never thought it was that low. Too late anyway, stuck a tenner on to get a £5 freebet.

Virgin bet - Bonucci 2+ tackles @2/1. Anyone know the rules with this? Does winning a header count?

It know its been said Keith knows nothing but apparently he received the statement before it went public. Also received it before Edwards and Jacobs, so I think that should be noted. He might not know everything but its clear he still has a decent line of communication with the buyers/Ashley.

Absolutely they do. But if they are 100% innocent all this noise is damaging their brand and image. They absolutely do not want that and the perfect response would be to let people see they are not at fault. I mean it's like an innocent person being questioned with a murder charge sit there and say "no comment" to everything.

Exactly this. Haven't the PL always said the process was fair and it was carried out "fit and proper". If so, then what's the problem playing it out in public? Let them see WHY the takeover hasn't gone through and let them see that we aren't corrupt etc! Surely the PL would want to prove their squeeky clean image? This statement is putting more pressure on them. That's a good thing for us. The more pressure from any angle the better.

He's so desperate to find out some (genuine) juicy information

Finally blocked by MOTT for telling him 5/7 is not the date it starts. Instead of correcting his mistake he carries on with the lies. Bloke is an utter utter weirdo.

But that was only after he had won the ball, his initial challenge before kicking the ball didn't look that bad from memory. Once the ball was cleared and just before contact, his foot was in a dangerous position but how can you change that in a millisecond? It honestly seemed to me a case of wrong place wrong time, no malice intended. On the slow motion reply it looks horrible but most challenges do, in real time I can't see another way he could have won the ball.

Yeah I don't mind Richards, although he laughs at absolutely everything he's a breath of fresh air compared to savage, Murphy, lawro etc. Also really enjoyed some of the MOTD podcast things that they show on the TV with him, Lineker and Shearer. Some great stories in those.

Maybe a key aspect of his contract was that he was allowed to talk/join us if we ever approached him

You have to admit using Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid as stepping stones to get the job here, in China and possibly Everton is quite shitty from Rafa tbh.

I thought everyone had passed it as they didn't have any grounds to fail them on. In order to stall they (The PL) then decided to say we need proof that the KSA government have no involment at all which led to the hand delivered letter etc and the start of nothing actually being decided.

Think he would be one of the best candidates. So lucky how they've fucked around so much and still have him left as a choice. Fancy offering it to Gattuso before him

Or Germany tbf

No idea, maybe he had it down to 2 or 3 twitter users and wanted to see which one would post the info first, looks like it was the one who was posted a few pages back in this thread, his tweet was word for word what was posted on 606.
