Cheers for the info. Any news on who had covid/isolating?

Jesus man. What a way to treat our best player.

Why won't he name those that are self isolating? Don't other teams let everyone know? It's because he doesn't want Palace to get an advantage about our line up isn't it

NCSL Also liked a comment by someone saying "take it things are going well then?" But tbf they have liked hundreds of posts

Absolutely this. I use to wait through all the usual sky sports waffle bollocks just for when they cut to "we can speak to Rafa now" He was so good to listen to. Always talked sense.

IM The Takeover Scrooge

"We accept that and move on" :lol: Nevermind about working on what went wrong and why then. Just move on and forget about it. Seriously this twat doesn't even deserve to be a Sunday league manager.

If there is a big breakthrough I wonder how long it'll be before it's announced by those involved. If the PL say ok we'll pass it through, we just need to do the O&D test again, or if they will all keep quiet untill PIF and friends get the keys and announce it via an official statement from the club.

Or the backbone of the takeover is now laid out

Bet some of those names on that list would break this forum right now. Obviously we wouldn't go out and try to sign Messi, but they would want to make a big statement of their power imo so could definitely see some big names coming on big wages. This takeover needs to happen so bad. Club is at a complete crossroads right now.

Said in the takeover thread that they're not impressed with him and would want him out asap

NCSL Twitter account is all back to normal

'kin hell artwork is the absolute best way to describe him. Sheff wed though, imagine the feeling looking at your business account and seeing £3 million while Bruce is packing his things

I really hope we see the day that this useless lump of shit gets kicked the fuck out by the new owners. Oh Steve, if you were a good manager they would actually give you a chance.

These lads seem to have previous with anti competition cases, and understand have won one much larger than this. By all accounts O’Donoghue is also a leading anti competition QC, so absolutely no reason not to believe in them. Plus Mimms has pretty much said that this is a coordinated effort, supported by the buyers and with De Marco in well involved. By the sounds of it, everything NCSL say and do is carefully planned from a legal perspective. This isn't Niall and Biffa spouting off whatever they fancy. It's also quite telling that Liam Kennedy is getting first dibs on these stories and interviews. Again, as Mimms has said, it seems Kennedy is somewhat in the loop. Wonder if this is what Mimms was referring to earlier this morning. Tbf if it is and he had said what's coming it would be pretty obvious his source or he is Liam Kennedy

Refresh the page and stop the refresh before it loads. Might takes a few goes but definitely works. Also works on the telegraph articles. Someone from here posted that month's ago and it has been one of the best tips I've ever found in my 20 years of the Internet

I bet as a kid he used to get a magnifying glass and burn ants with the sun. And pick his nose and wipe his slimy bogies on other kids backs when they were blissfully unaware he was loitering behind them.

Will it be out in the public over the next few days or is it all happening behind closed doors? Once again, appreciate your updates ?

I doubt the issue of standing is as cut and dried as some are suggesting. People are making the assumption that they can’t have standing because they’re just two fans, however, one or both of them are also likely to be customers of the club. There could be an advantage in and reason for a case being brought by fans, according to the government guidance the CAT fast-track process is generally only open to individuals and small business. If the case were being brought by the club or consortium it might be less likely to be handled under the fast-track process. CAT cases can be brought by customers, the guidance gives an example of a purchaser of a product who has had to pay more for it because the manufacturer or retailer has infringed competition law. Just speculating but there are possibly ways that standing could be demonstrated in relation to any season ticket holder. We’re in a situation where the PL would rather keep an owner who has withheld refunds from season ticket holders in place than allow owners to take control who could potentially threaten the established big 6. Even if the loss demonstrated is pennies, a big compensation pay-out clearly isn’t the goal here, it’s a judgement that the PL have breached competition law in their actions. Brilliantly described. This is exactly what I believe is happening. There is a coordinated effort to establish that competition law has been breached. They know that they need to use an alternative approach to establish this quickly, which is why these two fans have been used. Once established they can move forward with the large piece of litigation. Didn't Mimms say ages ago that the legal team(s) were looking at different routes to exploit. This must have been what that meant.

When PIF get home at night they must have to sit down and wonder if we're really worth it

If this takeover never actually happens to go through I really hope the PL get found out to be the absolute corrupt fat cats that they are. If both happens then of course its absolute dreamland.

If that was the case he would have claimed to be in the know during the summer in the height of takeover talks. Sure he said a few things of note, truth or not. But he didn't talk about it so in depth to what he does now. As always time will tell but I don't think he's doing all of this just to boost his profile.

Personally I think it if it was 100% dead in the water we would have a leak from somewhere saying so or even a statement from seller/club/buyer. The fact that it's been made public that Ashley is trying to get the sale done, along with the fact the buyers are still interested I would say things are still going on in the background, if it was all over we would definitely know about it.

Guess their delivery was cold.

Not a lot. As long as they've played professionally they are seemed as the oracle. Lawro is the absolute worst, talks like he knows everything and is never wrong. Yet if he managed 10 games in the PL he would lose each one heavily.
