Ben Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 This Man City FFP case is a bit dodgy, half way through the case the Premier league agreed to change their rules and allow confidentiality so they didn't have to release certain documents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Just a general point of order but previously naysayers have either said that Mehrdad is a fake Twitter account or if real then he’s detached from the process and doesn’t know anything. But now he posted something negative, that’s it, done? it can’t be both though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyBlanco Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Man, that athletic piece makes for depressing reading. It’s pretty balanced and well thought out too. Essentially saying this CAT case ain’t starting anytime soon and that the CAT tribunal has never really handled a sporting case like this before so the premier league will have good grounds to get it chucked out/delayed. Also mentions that PIF would only come back to the table is there is a clear path for them - something that is very very unlikely to transpire from arbitration or CAT. In short - it’s not dead yet but we are in the final stages of attempted resuscitation with it. Fuck sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) I see. I got mixed up with who said it first but i remember Vince telling him too not to trust anybody. Good times it was. Edit: Actually now , I remember what I was referring to when I said Vince said it.He said D.T.A- Dont trust Austin to The Rock when Austin was to supposed to be in Dwayne's corner vs HHH at Backlash 2000. Jeez had to dig up where I heard Vince saying it. Edited July 21, 2021 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 It sounds like it's at the very same stage has been all the way through. KSA failing to disclose the relevent information needed to pass the test. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I would imagine we would start blaming KSA when we found out for sure that they're withholding evidence probably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Seems quite strange how stringent the FA have become since Man City and Chelsea got state backed ownership from abroad. They are certainly showing they won't be taken for a ride by any owners with dubious ties to disreputable regimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morpeth mag Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Imagine EPL requested disclosure on TV rights etc etc relating to the KSA. NUFC declined as PIF is the part owner. Mini hearing needed to make a disclosure decision. Rinse and repeat countless times and you reach 2022. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's necessarily true, the two biggest obstacles to a settlement would have probably been the PL knowing the arbitration could go either way and Ashley being willing to gamble on winning the arbitration and then taking the PL to the cleaners in the CAT. With the PL, subject to the outcome of their jurisdiction challenge, potentially facing disclosure in the CAT before arbitration, there may be more incentive for them to settle. There's obviously stuff the PL desperately don't want to disclose. And with no prospect of an imminent decision from the arbitration Ashley is likely to be more willing to agree to a settlement. Not saying that I think any of that will happen, but there is a logical glimmer of hope that this could trigger a settlement.

Ben Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 If the evidence is as explosive as Keith says then an out of court settlement would probably our only option, however if this doesn't happen before the end of August then they are buying a championship club.

Kanj Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Would be shocked if there was a settlement before CAT or even the delayed arbitration. If the Saudi diligence was not provided to both club and PL for the arbitration then it’s a completely gone off the rails, this deal. Im sure Liberty Media welcomed Aramco and PIF into McLaren with open arms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
