Yorkie Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 It's really interesting news, and I think it's good news to get that validation that the parties are still working towards the result we all want. But the chance of reaching that result is anyone's guess beyond the ultimate decision makers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 54 minutes ago, Shearergol said: That's not how it works I'll admit that my corporate law knowledge is a little dated, but surely you would need to prove anti-competitive behaviour in order to stand a chance of winning such a case? A very plausable outcome of the arbitration is that the PL are found to have been unduly influenced and the whole O&Ds process has been flawed/compromised but the ruling stops short of saying that PIF must be approved. We then have the anti-competitive slant to take this to an alternative route where MA can go for a ruling that confirms the behaviour existed and therefore a remedy is required. This could be to pass the test as it stood (especially if we have 'proof' that the ink was being prepped) or to pay damages. The damages wouldn't be restricted by the sales price, but it could/would be argued that if the sale had gone through then MA would have been looking at buying Topman etc. Even if the test had been failed rather than stalled there may even have been a second buyer that he has lost a sale to. It's only a 51% certainty bar to pass as well - on balance of probabiliites If arbitration was lost then surely there would be no case of any improper behaviour? Or certainly much harder to prove Or maybe I've watched too many US legal dramas! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hi Keith btw) The uncomfortable truth for some tonight. Keith’s anti competition case will now probably get heard before Arbitration. I think John Lennon wrote a song called ‘working class hero’ once upon a time. Chin up lads I’ll get back to the positive thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) There’s fuck all chance this gets done before next season. The PL are clearly not backing down.

The Prophet Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 In terms of Kennedy sitting on it until he was given the go ahead, I don't think it's a coincidence Ashley filed papers soon after the tax case cleared the club of any wrongdoing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 But, out of interest: We threatened legal action to get an arbitration We claimed an arbitration will mean no need for legal action We delayed the arbitration Keith had some news which was 11/10 BIG Keith couldn't reveal the news, but that was a positive thing We are now taking out legal action This was Keith's news. It's now a positive thing that it's been revealed, not the other way on. We're claiming the legal action is now a positive thing as there won't be need for arbitration Just checking that's the order?
