gdm Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I’d love to know if this fan consortium legal action has the backing of or is part of action being taken by Ashley and his legal team. Otherwise it’s just noise really isn’t it? Demarco, Jamie rueben and staveley’s husband have all liked or shared It so it’s got their public backing at least Are they involved behind the scenes? Fuck knows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 this letter doesn't seem to suggest things are "ticking along nicely in the background" to me mind, was under the impression talks were ongoing with PL to try and resolve :/ EDIT: if related to anyone involved in sale or purchase that is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 That letter demands a response by the PL by 4pm on November the 3rd. It also requests all documents from the PL, emails texts and even what's apps Imagine the corruption in those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we need to see more substance than that to believe it’s a concerted joint effort. I really hope it is but not convinced yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimms Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Fan-led action, so essentially it means absolutely f*** all then Liam Kennedy has been a joke throughout this takeover, shamelessly stringing along fans for months He’ll be back on Steve Wraith’s show again now You literally couldn’t be more wrong about every statement you’ve just made. That wasn’t the first time DeMarco saw that letter, let’s say he may have had an input in a lot of it. Ignore the fan led action bit as it really isn’t. Kennedy probably knows the most out of any journo regarding this (that includes Caulkin) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-more Mag Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It's a nice P.R. piece, if nothing else. Substantively, though, I have doubts that a supporters group would be found to have standing to pursue an anti-trust case here (i.e., how has the Consortium Supporters group been harmed?). And somebody else being behind it wouldn't solve that problem if they're not going to step up and be a party. Not hating on it, though--somebody has put some effort and money into it, so hopefully it helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wibble Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It looks coordinated to me. Nick DeMarco retweeted it. Mehrdad Ghodoussi retweeted it. Jamie Reuben retweeted it. The actual letter (not the fans waffle), sounds like the procedural starting point for a legal challenge. I'd hazard a guess there's some strategic significance to it in coming from a third-party. Just me guessing again (no lawyer), but there may be more weight/validity to their case since they're fronting (never heard of them) as an affected party (e.g. the fans). And perhaps being involved in that course of action prevents those challengers from other legal actions, freeing up DeMarco to hoof them in the balls from another direction.

James Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Any good lawyer would have done their checks regarding other upcoming legal action being prepared that they can join with and or piggy back so I would imagine the fan movement has the blessing of those involved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Promising stuff but the presence of this weird Consortium Fan Group thing has got me absolutely baffled. Has it been constructed by the legal teams themselves, for some reason? Why would they do that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The letter isn't persuasive in that regard, then, as it doesn't establish either of those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
