I don't think he's right in what he is saying here, he is implying that this is totally Ashley's decision without taking legal advice and his lawyer has just agreed to go on no matter what.

B-more Mag Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I do think the Consortium Supporters dude(s) have a valid point in there somewhere about the Competition Appeal Tribunal being a fundamental challenge to the homer venue of confidential arbitration. Whether or not it's successful gets deeper than my hip waders--I'd suspect there's an issue in there somewhere about whether the CAT can exercise jurisdiction in light of arbitration being baked into the EPL rules and at least tacitly accepted as a condition of being in the league. And while I think dude(s) overstate confidentiality not being "a thing" outside of arbitration, there's probably a point there, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that sense it's not necessarily counter-productive--it's an overlapping thing in a different venue. The CAT case is not purely damages-based, either, it also seeks injunctive relief.

Ameritoon Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Jacobs just showed his ass in the SL saga saying Atletico had left well before they had even considered dropping out. He might be right here, I have no clue, but his opinions should be taken with a grain of salt like everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? No. Keith's big news was going to be whatever dirt he has on the PL and to be published by Kennedy. He's now saying that the club have taken on his anti-competition case and all the relevant files and dirt have been passed to NUFC, so we still don't know the exact nature of Keith's big scoop. He's hinted enough times though - it's related to PL corruption. As for what this means for the arbitration case, no one seems to know.

Fantail Breeze Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 About two weeks ago, Luke Edwards said he had heard something he was trying to verify which was bad news for the takeover and said it’ll be over. Could quite easily be the court papers being served. Bad news because it’s an indication arbitration has failed, or will fail, to get the desired result. Jacobs seemingly on the same path/idea too. I mean, going to court seeking compensation and an injunction doesn’t scream “this is going well”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhtoon Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 NUFC will have lost a shitload of money this year. Even if arbitration is won and a takeover does happen, there will still be some financial loss that ultimately with hit Ashley. He appears to be using this to recoup that loss and overturn the OD test. Looks separate to arbitration Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi_Hills Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Edwards is a dipshit. Jacobs has at times sounded reasonable. However, Keith and Liam's optimism, Mike's battle cry and De Marco's open pathway monochrom tweet have all got me feeling positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
