Doctor Zaius Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Are the PL able to reject arbitration? If not, how long would the process be likely to take, are we talking months or years here? Didnt they already offer independent arbitration that would have taken 2 years or so? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMTTS Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Is the Saudis involvement (or supposed lack of) been Sean/Penn/IMTTS's main bone of contention? It's as clear as day that they're still waiting in the wings, imo. No smoke without fire and there's a shitload of smoke. Why do you believe this is the case? I can't see any evidence whatsoever that the Saudis are still at the table. Ashley is pursuing a restraint of trade case against the Premier League, and arbitration is a precursor he has to indulge before going to court. None of this either requires or suggests the involvement of the Saudis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Seeking arbitration is again just part of the legal game I think. I can’t imagine the club/ consortium think it will succeed. Arbitration might be the end goal but I think it’s more likely it’s part of a wider legal challenge to show that they tried arbitration in good faith but if that fails then they have tried everything prior to taking it through the courts. In the hope then that the PL would rather just pass it than go to court and face disclosing their dodgy doings. Seems to be a massive game of brinkmanship this. High stakes on both sides.

They've been involved since the start. I know that. But I wonder if Fenway and Masters are still frantically pinging the texts back and forth, or are they now having to back off, what with our whole legal case being built around their involvement? I can picture the scene. Masters picks up the phone in front of the arbitration panel. "Hi Chris, it's Dick... yeah... sorry mate, I'm gonna have to let you go.... I know, but what you've done is unacceptable and..." "The time sponsored by Accurist is..." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
