Awaymag Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 So they are not following the process that is set out. Its clear the PL are trying to keep this in a sort of no mans land so they the consortium cant appeal (as a decision has not been made). However their process basically says, if information isn't provide then the PL has to decide on the information provided. Absolutely clear. The PL have been getting away with brushing this under the carpet, they are clearly not acting in accordance with their own rules. The vague calls for 'transparency' are easy for the PL to bat away and ignore, but this is something clear and unequivocal that the PL shouldn't be able to hide from. So why aren't any of the local journalists flagging this and pushing and pushing the PL to respond. There too busy regurgitating s*** from twitter as its an easy living thats why! One more time with feeling. The PL O&D handbook basically says - if information provided is incomplete etc then the premier league makes a decision on the information they have to hand. The PL have not made a decision and so are not following their own process. PL should be screwed to the wall! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I think this also means that there is no potential buyers out there anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 f*** that. Last thing I want is Mike Ashley getting money for nothing You didn't want the takeover either mate, so you obviously don't mind Ashley running us into the ground. Well obviously I do mind Ashley running is in to the ground. I just hate Ashley more than the premier league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I reckon Ashley would do a good Ted DiBiase if he grew his hair out and got a bit of a goatee going on, if I was him I'd do it for s***s n giggles At least wear the suit to court. If I had Ashley's money I'd be eccentric as fuck, I would deffo turn up with the suit at the very least! Lol!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Be careful what you wish for. If Ashley gets big compo he’s not gonna sell. Only reason he’s selling is he needs the money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Broon Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I don't see how the PL could be forced into compo without it being legally determined it should have been approved. Otherwise they've not wronged him and he's not lost anything. In terms of the PIF being independent from the state, Mehrdad Ghodoussi liked a post from a lawyer on twitter saying that determination of that can only be a matter of Saudi law. If that is the case and the highest legal authority in SA has determined that PIF is independent of the Saudi state it seems unlikely to be possible for the PL to demonstrate that it is not.

Only reason he’s selling is he needs the money I'd be interested to know how it plays out because if it's deemed that he's due compensation then that must mean that the PL have failed in some way. If the PL have failed then surely, the takeover can still potentially go through. Maybe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 In my opinion he’s parked his tank for no other reason than 340 million. He’s already banked 17 million from PL refusing to make decision, this is about getting sale through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well obviously I do mind Ashley running is in to the ground. I just hate Ashley more than the premier league. Ironically the only likely way we get rid of Ashley is if the PL is threatened with financial ruin so hopefully you can see how this might work out.

Guest Cheesy Beans Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Ashley’s motivation for taking legal action is absolutely not so the whole world can read the reasons for it not being approved. Ashley is motivated by money and getting his own way. This will be for one (or both) of those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosenrot 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 f***ing furious I believe the clubs can vote to fund the legal action. I doubt cash will be a problem for the PL.

Pons Alias Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 So he's already contradicting the 'not about compensation' line. He is Journalistic Bumwarts - Lowe than even Ryder. I believe the clubs can vote to fund the legal action. I doubt cash will be a problem for the PL. I think, if that happens, it will tell quite a lot of the story. Very visibly.

You sure with tv rebates owed due to covid, reduced income and wages at same level. I would doubt clubs will be willing to fund this legal fight at the moment.
