Fantail Breeze Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 1 hour ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: Didn't we want the arbitration done though? It seems the only way forward. Taking 4 months to challenge a well-respected lawyer who confirmed he was independent, seems crazy. And they lost. The person we nominated helped to nominate the third person FFS. I thought it was reported the best case for NUFC is to have an agreement without needing to actually go to arbitration. Maybe we’re attempting to cause enough of a nuisance and legal cost to the PL until they’re willing to just sit down and sort it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 If it was found that Masters and Hoffman had actively been acting on behalf of the top six or a third party, showing a clear bias over every other team in the league, it could result in a full overhaul of the FA. It would be like when the Sepp Blatter incident carved FIFA up, integrity has to be key in competition otherwise it all falls apart for them (you'd hope). I'd love it, love it if we beat the corruption at the FA! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sooner he stops covering us, the better. I’m not sure how many years it is since I posted (plenty I suspect) but I had to log on to agree with this 100% .. for a supposedly professional person to behave like this is unacceptable given his role and I for one would love it if this went through if only to throw it back at him..

Wandy Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Surely though, assuming we avoid relegation, this should be resolved one way or another immediately after the season ends? Why would they wait any longer to proceed with arbitration? I really, really do not want this summer to be a repeat of last year's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 The suggestion is that it won't be appealed, so the arbitration can be carried out in private. When journalists are saying the hearing hasn't taken place, I'm not sure how they would know if the process is a private one. Next we should hear is the outcome of whether the PIF and the state are separate or not. And that's meant to be expected by the end of the season so we shouldn't hear anything before then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the assumption, based on previous reports, that they were going to do anything and everything they could before taking it to arbitration because it wasn't a sure shot and was a final answer if we lost. Would not surprise me in the least if they have appealed if that's to be believed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Isn’t the arbitration case going to take something daft like 18-24 months? Wasn’t it delayed in starting? Due to the club appealing the appointment of the judge and saying he would be biased... I’m sure I remember reading and hearing that from a couple of legal eagles Unless the Premier League has a change of heart. I don’t see how this is going through any time soon.

Every legal case is never a 'sure shot' and at some time you have to back the arguments and facts you have within your legal case, otherwise what is the point of entering arbitration in the first place. The Premier League's legal team are not going to step down that's for sure. Edited April 15, 2021 by et tu brute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones found guilty of it have been ousted but a lot of the old guard remains and there is question marks over their replacements.
