Yes, though I’m sure it will have been agreed with the legals, part of a strategy. I’m also sure the legals will have agreed to the wording before it was released.

I wonder how anyone could think that the statement was made by Ashley and Chanchanman in panic mode scrambling for words. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Jackie Broon said: I thought that on first view but I think it can be interpreted either way. Particularly with it saying "that too should be held in confidential arbitration", the CAT claim is not arbitration. What I think it is most likely actually saying is that the PL are trying to prevent the CAT case, which would be public, from going ahead arguing that should be dealt with under the arbitration instead. That suggests to me that the PL's jurisdiction challenge is still yet to be decided. This is what I couldn't make fit, but that does make alot of sense. One point of note though, is that it seems the PL are no longer arguing for it to be 'thrown out' because of both cases being materially the same, but now arguing it should be absorbed into the arb case (I suspect to avoid public scrutiny) which does suggest a different tact and a significant come down from their initial positioning which was that this case shouldn't even be heard in the first place.

Guest HTT II Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) As much as Ashley is a fucking whopping hypocrite for wanting transparency and communications to be public, it does piss me off that the media in general haven’t exactly pulled him up on neglecting to inform NUFC fans of what’s happening or not at NUFC over the last decade plus, I think that Spider-Man meme is apt for all of the cunts, they are all hypocrites.

Fuck them all. Exactly mate the media are all whingeing about the double standards of statement. I couldn’t give a fuck if this is hypocrisy from club and I couldn’t give a fuck about journalist’s. We all know Ashley has fucked us over for 14 years, it’s a bit late for transparency now. What do they want us to do be up in arms ? No ones barely listened to us for 14 years. It’s all well and good thinking it would be nice to see the roles reversed on Ashley, but he’ll quickly get over 340 million whilst swanning it down Miami Beach. We won’t get over this takeover though, it’s all that fucking matters, the be all and end all for NUFC in the short, medium and long term. Fuck the journalists self pity, I support Ashley entirely at this point and I’ll also be delighted as anyone when the cunt finally goes.

Pons Alias Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) Ashley may be a cunt, but the PL enables him to be a cunt. They are the cuntmaster general. Edited July 2, 2021 by Pons Alias Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyBlanco Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 4 hours ago, Wandy said: It was noticeable that De Marco tweeted about the statement last night. Remember, it was him a few months ago who said he always advises clients to come to an arrangement before arbitration goes ahead because it can be a lottery. I think the statement was a call to the PL to accept an arrangement that has been offered to them by the club. The main reason I think the PL are resisting is that they have come too far down the line to be seen losing face by backing down before legal proceedings. More importantly though, if they lose then they can go back to their six overlords and say "we tried lads, but the law took it out of our hands". Have to agree with all of that.

But the "At the moment" bit stands out for me They said exactly the same thing to the "Newcastle Evening Chronicle" and to "Sky Sports News", when both of those organisations contacted them this morning. That pathetic "no comment" comment, was made by the EPL despite the actual thing they are not commenting on being a request that they DO comment. This is exactly why I have always known that we will beat them and that our Takeover will inevitably happen, as they have just 'proved again today' the sum total of all the intellects at the top of the EPL adds up to something less (well less) than that of a dead goldfish. They are a 'less than nothing' group of moronic people. Edited July 2, 2021 by manorpark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
