I'm pretty sure he is wrong. Judicial review is only available of decisions made by public bodies. It is well established in case law that sports governing bodies are not judicially reviewable.
See R -v- Football Association Ltd, ex parte Football League Ltd [1992] 2 All 833
And: https://www.ashurst.com/en/news-and-insights/legal-updates/judicial-review/
"The following characteristics have been considered relevant to whether an act or function can be reviewed.
The "but for" test: in other words, whether, but for the existence of a non-statutory body, the functions exercised by such body would inevitably be regulated by statute. Bodies which have been considered amenable to judicial review using this test include the Advertising Standards Authority2 and the Takeover Panel3. However, the Football Association's decisions escaped review as the court held that if the Football Association did not exist, the state would not have found it necessary to perform its functions4."
I may be wrong - but there's lot of reading out there on this - or may be thinking of a different judicial mechanism.
Don't know who is right but if you are Greg, then could the PL just turn round and go - takeover denied because......well we can't be arsed with the hassle? Or we don't like NUFC as we love Sunderland....... and PIF wouldn't be able to legally challenge. Seems ridiculous if true
The PL do seem to have it in for us TBH, if they do turn it down the court battle should be quite entertaining
Nothing about this sorry saga is entertaining
Yeah sorry, what I ment was it would be entertaining watching the PCP/PIF lawyers rip the PL’s case apart
