mouldy_uk Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I know nothing when it comes to legal proceedings, so forgive me, but how much of this upcoming legal challenge will be played out in public? I'm not expecting Judge Judy and live coverage, but will we get a sense of what's going on, or will it all be behind closed doors? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Are the Premier League so married to the idea of stopping the Saudi’s that they’re going to be happy to pay what would likely be very lengthy and expensive court proceedings? The PL are not a cash rich organisation either, the operation is actually quite small. This could get very tasty, especially in the current climate. One things for sure other clubs will be fucking furious If the PL has the financial support of those other clubs they'll be alright. £10million off each of them should see them alright.

Can't see many clubs happy to lose 10/20million just to keep the PL going. Would imagine if the PL lose and have a massive bill, the clubs would let them go to the wall and just set up a new league organisation...Ultra League or something along those lines Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 In that case they should just sue Masters for negligence incompetence or whatever. We are the sufferer of this takeover. We are victims which should not be blamed FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno what the legalities are around what can and cannot be shared, but it would be out of keeping with the rest of the whole miserable caper if there wasn't a heavy PR drive throughout. It's already started, what with the statement on the Newcastle website and this news being very publicly revealed this morning. So plenty more of the same to come, I'd imagine!

James Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Interesting to consider how each club may react to different legal scenarios based on predicted baseline position. Definitely Support: Man City’, Newcastle, Sheffield Utd* Possibly Support: Southampton*’ Don’t give a fuck: Chelsea’, Leeds’*, Man Utd’*, West Ham’* Probably oppose: Arsenal, Aston Villa’*, Brighton*, Burnley*, Crystal Palace*, Everton’, Fulham*, Leicester, West Brom*, Wolves*’ Definitely oppose: Liverpool, Spurs The clubs with * are certainly likely to increase support and push for some agreement based on any credible financial threat. The clubs with a ‘ are the ones that will freak out if the issue of reviewing each clubs directors consistently, annually and in light with any new information. Because of that list I don’t think we’ll get our day in court, we will settle in advance and the PL Directors are dead men walking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thryll be able to build trumps wall with the amount of shit bricks thryll be dropping this morning. It would be great if it was us who lanced the boil of English football and ended the PL.

thomas Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Just to note noted that it was David Pannick of Blackstone Chambers leading the Man City/FFP case. Fairly certain our lad was involved a bit though given the blurb "Nick was involved in the legal challenge to the Football League’s Financial Fair Play rules," on his profile page.

Guest Cheesy Beans Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 This is going to test the PL’s legality in making no decision I hope for their case they have a watertight legal argument otherwise they’re about to be ripped to shreds.
