Whitley mag Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I’m sure Shell knows what she’s talking about but does she know more than a QC? Seems unlikely (assuming the QC is legit) Agree with this undoubtedly she knows a lot more than majority of us lot, however QC’s involved lead me to think they know what their doing. Personally think Liam Kennedy has come across well in all this, clearly has the jump on other local journos with his sources. Nice to see some good local journalism instead of the crap from the chronicle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomson Mouse Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 That red rose Michelle is having a pop at Kennedy tonight for raising hopes. She’s also insinuating that these 2 fans will just have paid for an initial letter from the QC. Be interesting to see what happens next week. This should at least play out quickly given timescales. He's acting like such a condescending t***, he'll be spouting more rubbish on Wraith's podcast soon enough Incredible that he's promoting this 'legal challenge', orchestrated by individuals behind the Worfund appeal, that was revealed very quickly as a complete scam. Hardly surprising they’re seemingly close associates of Wraith’s. All a bunch of attention-seeking, publicity-craving chancers. The big piece he wrote on the QC was literally word for word copied from his page on his own chambers website. You are bitter. Do something fun in life!

Hhtoon Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 If it's such a good move legally, why are 2 fans funding it and not Ashley or the consortium? Didn't understand half the letter to be fair, though a significant portion of the other half seemed to be arguments based on widespread media reports.

Shearergol Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 We have Liam pissing on Puke. Puke pissing on Steve. Steve pissing on Nufc trust. And now Shell pissing on Liam Twitter really is just a cess pit isn't it. Says the person referring to someone as "Puke" Hmm, interesting first post. Maybe Edwards has a friend? A second device more like no idea what you are on about but i've got about 7 devices, pc, laptop, work laptop, phone, work phone, ipad, work ipad etc. Look at me, look at me, I've got about 7 devices. Pathetic. If they're really from Grimsby I've got a pretty good idea how they funded their device payment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonjam88 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 She is just pissed off that she now knows fuck all and her I assume ex lad was the one that knew more about this. Also she had a pop at Kennedy he then had a pop at her so she is now having a pop back. She is now irrelevant and is trying to stay relevant that is all.

Cronky Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I've just read the letter. Given the apparent complexities and technicalities of competition law, it would be surprising if there wasn't any documentation within the EPL that couldn't be used as further evidence that there were breaches. I think a lot depends on whether the consortium are seen as having the right to take things to court. I can't see the EFL relishing the prospect of that sort of scrutiny, because I'd have thought it inevitable that there were some discussions or exchanges which would be quite embarrassing. The big six have also somewhat put their foot in it by subsequently making it clear that they are seeking the right to block potential takeovers. That ill-thought out gesture may have triggered the consortium's letter. My concern is that, ultimately, couldn't the EPL say that they didn't turn down the takeover? They had asked for more information and the Saudis responded by not providing it and withdrawing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had asked for more information and the Saudis responded by not providing it and withdrawing? I guess in case of a court case PL have to disclose what info they where asking for, and how its relevant to this process. Then i guess its up to the court to decide if its relevant and if so, if its sufficiently answered by PIF. If its not relevant or the court find that its sufficiently answered, PL have to reject or accept the O&D test and move forward. If not the ball is firmly back in PCP/PIF court. This is at least my extremely unprofessional assessment of how it can play out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Asking the Saudis for more information, information that they felt was asking too much is a bit like telling The Queen that we need to a credit check on her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Five o Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Asking the Saudis for more information, information that they felt was asking too much is a bit like telling The Queen that we need to a credit check on her If the courts rule that the information is necessary to the process and is according to the law that is a Saudi problem, not PL. I hope and believe PCP/PIF and Ashley have a strong case, but there can not be one set of rules for sovereign funds and a different for private investors.

They'd also look at the timeline and if (as we have been led to believe) everything was going well then all of a sudden pressure is applied leading to this information need then the anti-competition bit kicks in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Wonder is he had his hand slapped after what he said about the potential new Burnley owner. By who?

ScottishMagpie Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 "The Premier League now have until next Tuesday to respond to the letter. An extension is possible, of course, but they must respond. If they don’t, this will head to the courts. There is no other way around this. The Premier League either open their books to NCSL and their significant legal team, or don’t and a date in court, in time, will be set." Quote from Q&A with Liam in the Shields Gazette..... excuse the choice of phrase but is it as black and white as he makes it out to be? Just doubt how seriously the PL will be taking this letter. Doubt if Dick has even read it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
