Yorkie Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 On the minute possibility something meaningful happens we'll unlock the takeover threads. In the mean time I think it's best for folks' sanity that we have a short breather. It's bank holiday weekend, folks, and the sun's coming out. Lerdsa footbaal as well. Enjoy.

timinperu Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Thank you for unlocking this, there is really nothing but the hope of this thread. Games come and go, managers and players will too, but until Ashley departs we cannot claim the soul of our club. It doesn’t even matter who argues with whom, just that small twinkle of hope is sufficient. To dream is the essence of our love of this hallowed club.

Candi_Hills Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Either way, it’s probably true that we need to stop up and that scares the dry biscuits out of me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you there Candi as I keep running through the fixtures and realistically i can only see us getting another 3 points up till the Fulham game. 12 Points to play for and 9 points clear If we lose our next 2 which i think is highly likely Fulham Vs Burnley Well i think Fulham could get 3 pts here Southampton Vs Fulham I would say they will get at least a point or 3 so lets say worse case scenario they win 3 pts Gap is down to 3 points Then Man Utd vs Fulham Who knows with this as man u will be concentrating on Europe and League will be won by then BRINGS US TO SHEFF UTD and FULHAM games I am nervous very nervous... I don't want anything riding on our game at Craven Cottage! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Relegation is 99% unlikely to happen at this stage. I don’t think that’s an issue. If Fulham lose their next game and we get a point I don’t think they can catch us. I think we pick up another 6 points too The issue as has always been is clearing the way with the PL, events over the last 2 weeks will have moved the goalposts slightly. Whether that puts us in a stronger or weaker position I do not know but can imagine NDM will be reacting to this and forming it as part of a strategy. Overall I’d imagine the PL will just want this to go away quietly so they’ll have to reach an agreement. Here is a question though, the arbitration is focussed on how the PL applied its rules in respect of the wording of director or person of influence. So my understanding was that if we get a ruling in our favour, the test would go to the PL to complete, essentially adding more time to the process. Am I wrong on this though? Is the arbitration to decide the outcome of the full o&d’s test? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejeck Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I think West Ham did us a big favour last night. I was worried that Burnley would go into the game against Fulham with nothing to play for, but they'll need to give it a good go now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
