What happens on friday is what I'm asking? The PL have to submit their case on why the CAT should be shut down. Don’t expect any news to come of this for at least a few weeks. The judge will have to look over what I presume will be a mountain of paperwork and then the club will also be able to make a case for why it should, but I don’t know what happens there. Maybe someone else can answer that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokerprince2004 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Couple of interesting tweets I've seen tonight. Firstly the major dates in the next couple of weeks to look out for : Secondly, it appears that a plane owned by PIF arrived in London tonight. This probably deserves to go in braindead twitter thread as it it a pretty tedious link Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 So reading through all the twitter stories if Masters and Hoffman want a back door deal with no exposure, next week could be the time to do it ? Without doing takeover maths, it good be a reason for Ashleys confidence this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 God I really fucking hope it happens. I've been pessimistic about the immediate future, but these recent baseless stories with no real information whatsoever have really given me a shot in the arm, cos I'm a desperate sucker. But a third season of Bruce? Surely that just can't happen, man. Surely we've repented for whatever it was we did? Surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it ends with a positive conclusion. I can’t stand seeing the big fat arsehole standing there saying how happy he is after a 7-0 defeat at Old Trafford next year either. The bloke is a loser, absolute fucking cretinous loser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 A few standing questions though has me wondering how the deal could go through. The Saudis walked away didn't they? At least publicly. They coming back? Are Masters/the PL going to just be like 'yeah we'll approve the deal, cba for going through the courts, just put the money back on the table and we'll approve it'? Do the buyers not have to go through the O&D Test again? If the Saudis are involved with the question of who is actually running the club/PIF come up again and be a stumbling block again? Haven't bothered keeping up with this at all, as you can tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) I don’t think them coming back to the table is an issue, it is widely accepted that if given the Green light they will be back at the table. I struggle to see how it will be settled outside of court now too if I’m honest. They have been preparing for the arbitration now since what, October? Maybe earlier? Just seems as though if there was a chance of settling it would have been done already. Edited June 6, 2021 by Danh1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 You really have ignored literally everything, haven’t you? Christ PIF pulled away. MA has been given assurances if the league removes the road block, the consortium will return. If the league removes the road block, then it’s likely a simple pass of the test - like the consortium was told a year ago - then you’d assume that’s about it. The contract, the plan, literally all was ready for an approval, funding, and a close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 My take which is probably miles off is Qatar and the big 6 told Masters to not let this happen, they then brought in Hoffman who advised them to do nothing and the Saudis would eventually walk. Ashley was obviously furious and hired lawyers to see if the deal could be restructured. It looks like he has a strong case based on anti competition laws and the EPL could be liable for Ashley's losses, a deal now needs to be struck where they can save face but also not go through the courts in case sensitive information comes out.

Cannot take another season of Ashley and Bruce. .com put it best at the end of their Fulham (a) match report; Quote Today's 90 minutes encapsulated much of what we've exhibited in 38 games this season: a reasonable result but an unconvincing performance that at times verged on the unwatchable. On the fourteenth anniversary of his gaining a controlling stake in the club, Mike Ashley was present here to witness our highest finish since 2017/18, matching the 45 points collected in 2018/19. What he thought of that isn't recorded, but it's hard to believe that he derived any more enjoyment than the fans watching from afar: trapped in a loveless marriage, saddled with a club content to exist, never seeking to prosper or actually develop. He can change that. Anywhere else there would be optimism that this better-than-anticipated finish would signal genuine forward progress next season. Instead though, our own bleak take is that we'll be firmly back along the also-rans. Something desperately needs to change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
