I'm not sure that's the right logic if it boils down to "they applied the rules unfairly before, they should do it for us too". 

No and the court won’t entertain that angle, it’s to highlight the discrepancy of only applying their rules to some clubs and not others. Which makes his argument of “we all signed up to the rules” look absolutely absurd, which it is 

My thoughts when the judge asked him was his point going to take long was that he’s getting annoyed listening to the waffle.

I also think their QC has made a mistake in detailing the structure of how NUFC is set up, by trying to prove a point. If he loses this jurisdiction challenge, surely that would open the door for our side to detail the structure of say, Man City as evidence of a club that has a person of influence who isn’t deemed a director?

Also we did seem to have a win so far in that the judge threw out the confidentiality thing by just saying, tailor your argument accordingly..

Personal view, if the court has jurisdiction, it's a win that will scare the horses.

 

If not, we're done and arbitration goes against us too.

 

I base this personal view on very little of substance. You're welcome.

fully agree, at least some of the details will be made public if it goes ahead.. they won’t allow that.

Fuck em all. They’ve been the jizz stain on everyone’s favourite pair of pants for far too long. 

The fat dentist annoys me more than the rest actually, his qualification to talk about the takeover on these stupid podcasts is that he lives in a place that’s similar in distance as it is from Berlin to Rome.

It’s a dismal start. The thing that Mike Ashley will possibly pick up on is that we should have won that, a capable coach/manager would have known around 65/70 mins that we weren’t going to score again and made the changes to just see the game out. Was there for the taking. It’s one thing just being shit but losing points from the position we were in will be seen as failure.

Total surrender mentality and anything less than a win in our next match and he’s gone I reckon.

Entertaining game in fairness 

Darlow been told to hold for 1-1 obviously 

I reckon we have about 4 minutes of play being open. Watford will start running down the clock then and we won’t get a touch.

Lewis on for Ritchie please.

We’re actually playing well. Joelinton and ASM linking up well at times.

Martinez won’t go near Barca, it’s total poison that club at the minute. They’ll be lucky to finish in the top 4 the way they’re playing, you’d be mad to take that job if you have other opportunities which he will have plenty of.

If we get a takeover Fun88 wound be binned anyway so don’t see what the fuss is about.

I’d expect big car manufacturers to start advertising more prominently now that electric seems to be on the verge of being mainstream?

Not true at all.

 

If we win the jurisdiction argument, the court are agreeing they have jurisdiction to hear the case. The court aren’t making any determination on the strength of the case.

Well if it proceeds than obviously we do have a case worthy of being heard at that level.

What you’re not acknowledging is that at least some or perhaps all of the evidence will be heard in the public domain, or at the very least will be published in findings, which is something the PL will want to avoid at all cost.

It's a meeting to decide if the case goes ahead or if the PL are successful in having it chucked out, as I understand it.

Yes. They are trying to get it thrown out on a technicality that CAT don’t have the jurisdiction to rule against them because the other arbitration case covers essentially the same thing.

However what Mike Ashley is also claiming in the CAT case is £££, the arbitration doesn’t cover damages so i can’t see how the PL win this.

If it does get thrown out I’ll see it that our case is frivolous at best and wouldn’t have had a chance of winning (hence why court wouldn’t waste their time with it) which would also indicate the arbitration will go that way too.

If we do win this round it will be significant. It means the court think we have a case and the reality of the PL having to pass the takeover AND pay out damages is quite possible.

That’s when they shit the bed and settle imho.

In terms of the takeover, would it make any difference if Ashley listed the club again on the stock exchange? Is the rules for owning a majority share any different?

Slagging off other supporters for what you think they may or may not want achieves nothing, we need to be better than that.

There doesn’t seem to be a thirst for protest at all within the majority of our supporters.

For the rest of us who think we know better, well there’s fuck all of us really, so are we real supporters? If there’s that few of us left and 95% of the clubs support are just there for a day out and to bring the kids out, what exactly are we fighting for?

A notion of the club that doesn’t exist?

Do we even deserve a takeover?

Dunno if anyone remembers last season when ASM was back after injury/covid, there was a video of training, and ASM being interviewed, Gayle jogs past and sarcastically mutters “The saviour of Newcastle”, thought he was an absolute bellend from that point.

I’ve no time for him, or sympathy. He’s seemed happy to pick up wages and not play the last 2 seasons, what should essentially be the peak of his career.

He got off light tonight. A few mutters at the end, pathetic really.

I don’t know how they aren’t at least 3 goals up.

Shocking performance apart from 3/4 players trying to do anything.

Something I never thought I’d consider, but Llambias was a better “managing director” than Charnley. Like we’re talking pond level increments here but not wrong 

Being inept and losing regularly doesn’t seem to be a problem for Mike Ashley but having a mutiny going on between playing staff and management is something he’ll take notice of.

Dalglish.

Yeah once he dismantled a great team and replaced them with his Liverpool pals for one last pay day.

He’s up there for me and maybe the fact that if he really was motivated to succeed he could have done better. He didn’t give a monkeys though.

McClaren, Bruce, Pardew, Allardyce, Souness.. they have two things in common, they are all shit and they all have massive egos.

What we know is that Rafa could turn that side into a well organised unit that performs better than the sum of its parts.

Eddie Howe isn’t that kind of manager and I think he would struggle massively coming into this absolute mess, knowing that he probably wouldn’t be backed in January.

His final season with Bournemouth they were a shambles.

Don't underestimate the absolute rot that Steve Bruce has allowed set in, it would take a remarkable manager/coach to turn that around.

I don’t think he’s nearly as wealthy as you’d think he is. Not skint but not able to afford his lifestyle either. I’d say he lost loads through gambling.

Perfect way to ruin someone’s special occasion
