Downie is trying:
We’ve taken legal advice from our lawyers. The Company’s House listing from Sheikh Khaled is a Special Purchase Vehicle (SPV) used to transfer shares at outset of a new company. Can be done by anyone though, & difficult to prove veracity. NUFC aware & still refusing to comment.

What I would say is Mike Ashley has been using Denton’s Lawyers to sell the club, and not Pinsent Masons - as I’m aware. As it stands, this means nothing other than a new company has been registered #NUFC
This is exactly what I said earlier and points to Downie not understanding what is going on:
- Yes anyone technically can set up a company, but internal legal documents have been used to do so, which you would somehow have to obtain.
- Yes MA uses Dentons, but you'd expect the firm setting up that company to be acting for the buyer, not the seller.
Yeah fuck off downie
