Positive Optimism - Saudi Takeover Edition

The club have delayed pressing the button on arbitration its as simple as that. Read NDM’s views on arbitration. It may still lead to arbitration, but if you think you can force settlement through disclosure why not try that route first. The club will be massively encouraged by recent developments.

How do you mean?

Just the timing of it all at a period of time when football is under the microscope in an unprecedented way. Just wonder if there was some deliberate delay waiting for the European Superleague stuff to blow up. Just seems like a big coincidence.

So we think takeover by august? Bruce gone by then?

I think they’re trying to force the issue every way possible. If disclosure and penalties attached to competition case are there big fear, it could be quick hopefully.

If anyone's interested in the procedure of cases like this, look here: https://www.catribunal.org.uk/sites/default/files/2017-11/The_Competition_Appeal_Tribunal_Rules_2015.pdf

You'll probably want to look at the sections on the 'fast-track procedure' as well as 'disclosure'.

TL;DR, under the fast-track procedure, the main substantive hearing is supposed to be within 6 months of the court deciding to put the case on the fast-track procedure.

Disclosure happens early on and will include all documentation relevant to the substantive issues in the case. The play here, I guess, is to encourage the Premier League to settle rather than to disclose and allow inspection...

Yes definitely. Get the PL to settle the arbitration case before disclosure In the anti competition case.

I thought the intention was to pressure them enough for them to lift the gate and let it through rather than have to go through arbitration, which has been said to be an absolute last resort because the chances of winning weren't very high.

Settlement in the arbitration case would probably involve passing the deal. What else would NUFC be willing to settle for?

Costs, lost of earnings etc.  It's MA, if he smells money he'll be all over it

Ashley is absolutely pulling every trick/tactic/test possible against the PL. 

If anyone seriously believes that PIF are not interested in buying the club then that's genuinely mental. 

The PL are legally getting pushed further and further into a corner in order to get this deal passed.

Are we absolutely certain the disclosure stage will unearth documentation that will prove collusion and corruption? Do we know for a fact that that has actually happened? Or is it just an assumption given the fact the takeover was never rubber stamped for reason unbeknown to any of us?
