Expand They're currently challenging jurisdiction, that is a get out of jail free card for them if it's successful. It wouldn't make much sense for them to settle until after the outcome of the jurisdiction challenge is known, but it would make a lot of sense for them to settle at that point if the challenge is not successful.

Pokerprince2004 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Aye Ben Jacobs did a Q&A this morning for an hour on Wraith's podcast, was pretty interesting. He seems to think the BeIn letter isnt important but did mention that NUFC should try and delay arbitration in july until after disclosure phase of Ashleys claim. If arbitration is sorted before disclosure then it wont effect sale he reckons as PIF will be long gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess by late June things might be a little clearer although I doubt anyone other than the lawyers will know what’s actually happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Bruce loves money just like Ashley. I'm sure the Saudis can pay him more than he can earn anywhere else should he need another job. Give his some pocket change and perhaps a nice holiday villa in the Middle East. Plus a pair of tickets to a boxing fight in the Saudis too and he'll leave with his head held high (in his mind) .
