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 Edited May 6, 2021 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi_Hills Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 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.
