Consortium of one Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 It looks like PCP can appeal and "just" have to prove damages. God knows how long that will take. My feeling right now is that if there are any other interested parties and they haven't bid because of PCP's involvement then they should. If the American wants to set up a network of clubs following the Red Bull model let him do so. If he'd like to partner with Stavely and the Reubens, even better. Something has to be done. Ashley has to be out and this ghost ship we watch needs some life breathed into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Who’s Chris Lucas again? Someone linked to the PL? Someone at Barclays. I can say very little about this Let's just say the company I work for ended up with a lot of former Barclay's senior management (until they made a fucking fortune selling us). People talk. Chris Lucas was 100% going down for what went on until he developed health issues and stepped down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoywhonder Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/PCP-v-Barclays-Summary.pdf Interesting that the judge largely confirms the truth of Staveley's allegations re the conduct of Barclays, but denies any compensation whatsoever on the grounds that PCP is basically a non-existent enterprise that had no real-world ability to raise any finance. I haven't posted in this thread since last summer, when I threw in my cards and gave up on the whole shebang. But I've made an exception today to say you, by the way, are an absolute weapons-grade c*nt. You're welcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 A high-flying city financier now faces paying millions in legal costs after losing her £600million High Court bid against Barclays over the behaviour of the bank's bosses when negotiating investment deals during the 2008 financial crisis.

Village Idiot Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Marca reporting today that the Saudis had eyed Mateo Alemany (former managing director of Real Mallorca and Valencia) as Charnley's replacement. He's rumored to become Barça's managing director after March's election, if Laporta wins (which he's likely to). You're probably more clued in than I do about whether Marca is bullshitting or not.

et tu brute Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Not surprised she lost, the bits I saw she was getting a right arse whipping off the QC and seemed totally unsure of herself on her facts. Mind I’m not saying it’s easy by a long-way facing these legal top level experts. Think we can shut down any thoughts of her going alone now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge said her claims were valid, Barclays lied and what she said was true. They don’t have to pay her on a technicality. She lost so her case wasn’t sound and she still has to pay the massive costs also. I didn’t say Barclays were anything less than dodgy either.

nbthree3 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 She's treating this as a 'reputational clean slate' if it matters much - but I fear one look at the outcome "rejected" and that's out the window already! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given you are well respected and highly connected sports journalist attached to major UK paper, can you please find out the sources or comps the judge used in #19, #20, #21 to come up with the probability %'s? I read that entire document and I'm not sure how you come up with the second part of your sentence without being incredibly lacking in ability to understand debt financing and legal judgements. Perhaps stick to what you know best? Perhaps try not to be such a misogynist? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 If it was a "capture or kill" operation, and they had him in the embassy, presumably captured, you have to wonder why they went ahead and chopped him up into little pieces.
