Maybe he should have said fuck all in the first place. 

Maybe he's saying it for the benefit of people who are still invested in the takeover. Keep the faith type of thing.

I’m talking about the pre announcement of the announcement. He should have kept his mouth shut until he got the all clear to make the announcement whatever it is. Now all I’m seeing on twitter than he can’t talk about it. Horse has bolted

Maybe he thought it was going to be given the all clear sooner than this and when he refers to holding off being a good thing its more to do with the Buyers have advised to hold off as they have made some progress and don't want to upset the apple cart so to speak.

 

Just speculation of course!

Mike Ashley: “After four years of the club being subjected to this investigation, I am pleased it has now been discontinued. It is now time for the dark forces that are preventing this football club from becoming the power house that the fans deserve, to step aside.”

It was registered 2 weeks fwiw so there may've been progress since, good that it's come to light now 

Something else that has been glossed over.... The case number!!!

NOTICE OF A CLAIM UNDER SECTION 47A OF THE COMPETITION ACT 1998 Case No: 1402/5/7/21

Looks like a date of 5th July to me!!

From Simon Zekaria (whoever he is) on twitter:

The claim states that the failure of the takeover by a consortium of investors, including Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, affected the ability of
@NUFC to compete in the Premier League
 
So Mike is bringing legal action against them because the (illegally) blocked takeover affected the club's ability to complete. That sounds like the compensation claim that so many people said he'd never be able to make. Am I misunderstanding anything?

Seems like MA is going absolutely all-in on this. If the league don't settle and they lose this, this is going to cost them SO fucking much - and they'll need help from the "member clubs" to pay MA, an outgoing owner.
