Don't accept this idea Ashley wouldn't lie about the store closures being due to what the "new owners" want. If he can convince staff it's not his decision then they're not going to eb able to argue about it or take legal action. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In emails sent to the Premier League, officials from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) stated several times that sources believed a decision was 'imminent.'

What is "Grand Old Duke of York routing"? I hope it translates as "fuck about for best part of a year and put on a show, before eventually signing it off".

So he marched them all up the hill, to then change his mind to bring them back down again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejeck Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Does anyone know what the timescale is for FOI requests? I presume that there is a requirement to respond within a certain timeframe? In the article, The Chronicle claim that they've been pursuing this for six months, so did the PL just buy as much time as possible? Odd timing in relation to arbitration.

This seems to be a good conclusion, it seems like he was also leaking info to Richards Keys as well, at least 6 clubs and Qatar didn't want it to happen and they got their wish.

You can't ask for FOI from the PL. FOI only applies to anything public from government/local authority. So they've chased the government department.
