Fantail Breeze Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Just now, LV said: Yeah it caused a delay (if you’re talking about challenging the chair of the arbitration panel) but it was a risk they had to take. The fella pretty much designed the Owners and Directors test. They couldn’t just not try to have him removed. What it also does though, even though it wasn’t successful, is to put the spotlight on him a lot more and he’s going to have to be squeaky clean throughout the whole process and not be obviously biased towards the PL. Oh I absolutely agree. But to point to the PL and accuse them of delaying by putting forward a case to throw out the CAT case is a bit weird when considering NUFC’s actions. Still no explanation as to why NUFC took so long to lodge the CAT case too. They could’ve been through the jurisdiction challenge and disclosure etc. by now. That’s why it appears, from my point of view, to be a last desperate attempt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t a delaying tactic like the PL have used. Why would the PL proceed with CAT when they believe they have a credible case to get it thrown out? It’s the same argument. Not withstanding the fact that I do think the PL have caused a lot of unnecessary delays… my point being that NUFC have too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think you are quite understanding (or you are choosing not to) that we had no choice but to try to get him removed. It wasn’t a tactic to delay things, why would we? It was an entirely necessary delay if you want to try to win a case or arbitration or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the PL think challenging jurisdiction is a necessary delay. Your argument falters a bit because we were told so strongly after NUFC failed in that case that it wasn’t a problem and it was likely to fail. The point being, if NUFC wanted to progress quickly, they didn’t need to challenge. It also doesn’t answer why NUFC delayed to lodge the CAT case.

Both cases are being carried out by the club and do you think Ashley gives two shits about Rafa. Also who is to say, he is the consortiums first choice either. He may have been Staveley’s first choice in her first takeover attempt, but as linked today in one of the threads, the other consortium members were looking at Poch and Arteta.

Guest reefatoon Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Gotta love Fantail. I actually like him posting and don’t mind reading his thoughts at all. But it does make me chuckle how these takeover threads always seem to go to shit once he starts posting . You seem to have an amazing knack of rubbing some folk up the wrong way lad, and then off it goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he said was that when disclosure comes they’ll fold like a pack of cards. Think you’ve jumped the gun a bit based on Ryder’s article. Quote me away. Yeah I believe it’ll get interesting if case is given go ahead. Do I know they’ll fold for certain course I don’t, but i would hazard a guess it’ll greatly increase the chances of a settlement during arbitration if it gets go ahead. Keith also said he’s been told Martinez & Jones were going to be joining spurs. Can we just put to bed that that dafty knows anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead he has went on a total display of self importance and arrogance. I stopped taking notice of him months ago. If the takeover happens and if some of the information has been of importance has been helped, as you say fair play, but I will still think he’s an arrogant, self centred knob.
