Jeremy Doku and ASM would be great fun to watch

Bet this was discussed in private in the CAT case, hence why their QC lost his shit when our QC let slip the arb case would unlikely to go through.

Aye @Sean can stay on

bit quiet recently. Busy with podcasts maybe?

Bruce finally fucking off is gonna be soooo sweet

Can finally take half the realists off my ignore list

Really fucking hoping we go for long term manager rather than Chelsea route.

Waiting to see if Rafa will sign a new contract

I'd love to see the trust write an open letter directly to Bruce asking him for his resignation. A well written letter pointing out all his contradictions and bullshit, as well as the stats which back the point would surely be something worthwhile

Blokes resided over 2 years of fuck all and has the audacity to say that.

What a cunt

In reality not to blame but would be interesting to see how they'd go about trying to prove Ashley was willfully negligent and therefore responsible for relegation whilst simultaneously defending the legitimacy of their own OADT which is there to supposedly protect clubs.

Seems like NUST have put something out there. Fair play @Heron

And yet they gained the exact same thing by not putting anything out.

All over the media.

Were you given a reason as to why not?

I just don't know how this could be thrown out when you consider the letters significance in the context of the PL and BeIN being slap bang in the middle of negotiations for TV rights during this whole saga.

Ahhh see, my interpretation was that if SJHL fell within the scope of the PL rules, then that in affect would sink any need for a CAT case as they're bound by the agreement to settle disputes internally, so of that argument is proved to be correct then this would get thrown out.

Great post.

Agreed, but unless I missed it, I didnt hear that type of argument from the QC, just seemed to be centred around under what capacity Ashley signed forms.

Did anyone else think that the argument of seperation for SJHL and the club to be quite flimsy? Seems to me to be the key point to the hearing.

At a total loss for why they wouldn't be all over this. Do the PL have any legislative power over them? If they're threatening to kick us out the league perhaps they have that on NUST as well? Literally the only explanation I have.

Feel like I could argue this case myself.

That's fair enough I do think NUST need to be more takeover centric rather than anti Ashley at the moment and perhaps need to communicate that support a bit more than they have been doing, but yeh, appreciate the debate.
