et tu brute Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Just now, Wandy said: On the contrary. We now know for certain that those running the game are in the pocket of six clubs, and therefore those clubs will receive all the assistance they need to maintain their position, wherever possible. The only people who will know that 'for certain' are Ashley's legal team based on the documentation they have (which nobody has seen). You are not certain and basing it on opinion. Which brings me to the point I made, let the legal teams fight their cases based on actual documentation and arguments that they can present. You're like a rocking chair back and forwards the last few months, just let it play out man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Here's the Ryder piece https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-takeover-mike-ashley-confident-20777907 Here's the PA piece he's reporting from https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/newcastle-owner-mike-ashley-receives-144421784.html Mike Ashley has had encouragement ahead of his big legal battle with the Premier League - after Saudi Arabia were taken off the American government’s piracy watchlist. - Ryder The report, which keeps Saudi Arabia on the US government’s priority watchlist, adds that illicit streaming devices “are widely available and generally unregulated in Saudi Arabia”. - PA PA are reporting that a £300million Saudi-led takeover should get the green light ahead of his Competition Appeal Tribunal and an arbitration battle penned in for July. - Ryder The matter is now the subject of arbitration proceedings, with Ashley instructing lawyers last September. Documents related to a separate Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) claim by St James Holdings Ltd against the Premier League stated that the arbitration was due to start in July. - PA, not an explicit mention of green light just stating what will happen. The quotes he's sourced in the article are from the PA one I linked. Not cans in the slightest? Edited June 9, 2021 by nbthree3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply referring to the levels of corruption within the halls of power of the PL. If you can't see that after today's "punishment" for those clubs then I don't know what else I can say really.

I wasn't referring to our case at all. I was just highlighting what we are up against. There is simply no logical reason for anyone to be anything more than 50/50 in the confidence stakes, based on everything that we have seen play out over the last 12 months. I've already said I am 30/70 against, but that 30% still gives me hope, otherwise I wouldn't be hanging around here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 52 minutes ago, Wandy said: If today's events are not taken as a warning shot by the super-optimists then nothing will be. We are massively, massively up against it. The game is rigged beyond belief and the events in April have made no difference to who pulls all of the strings. I don't think there is a man, woman or child who doesn't think we aren't up against it. What's the alternative though ? Just be miserable as sin ? The super optimists just want to believe. It's in a football fan's nature to believe positive things in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. "This year might just be our year" has been a fans mantra since the sport originated.

"This year might just be our year" has been a fans mantra since the sport originated. Have to disagree. It seems there are people who are convinced without a doubt that it will happen. I'd just advise caution against that because if they truly believe their conviction then it will really, really hurt if it falls through. I'm have optimism too. It's only about 30% but it's still there, which is why I occasionally post a link or comment in the Positivity thread. The occasional good news story keeps me going, and posting it in the other thread bolsters the hope that I still have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
