I dont get it. They filed their evidence on June 28th. Then asked for another extension for the "filing and service" of its evidence on June 30th. What the hell does that even mean?


How do we know they filed their evidence? Because a journo posted it on Twitter?

 

If this process has taught us anything is that they know fuck all when it comes to this. The only difference between them and us is that they are getting paid to speculate on all this bollocks

PL filed its application on the 11th.

 

St James Holdings filed its response to the PL's application on the 28th.

 

PL has received an extension of time to reply to St James Holdings' response.

"AND UPON the Claimant filing its evidence in response to the Jurisdiction Application on 28 June 2021"

 

That's what it says in the update.

Claimant or defendant?

I just don't fucking understand any of it 

 

The delay makes sense. Newcastle sent evidence against the PL having it overturned. The PL now get extra time to submit their own evidence in reply to that.

So the PL didnt actually meet the deadline of the 28th did they? They applied for an extension two days late.

We submitted evidence contesting the Premier League's jurisdiction claim. The Premier League would usually have 1 week to reply but they wanted an additional week which they've been given to respond to Ashley's counterclaim. Both claims get heard at a hearing later

I'll be honest I can understand why Mashley and Staveley are going public again.

 

I know there is a process, and I'm sure this is just how they play out, but it's just ridiculous really isn't it?

 

All this for a takeover, of which the PL seemingly acted out of the norm and yet us the fans, potentially the city, are being dicked about something rotten.

 

Club is at a crossroads and if this doesn't happen, I'd imagine that life support can be turned off.

So by submitting evidence, we gave the PL an opportunity to delay the process even further. Marvellous.

Had no choice though as it wouldn’t have looked good if we hadn’t countered their reasons for wanting the case chucked out.

It’s crazy how much they are fighting this takeover. That in itself just leaves you feeling very suspicious of it all. Something just isn’t right in all of this.

So what next. The PL appeal against the appeal? Then we appeal against the appeal of the appeal?  :lol:


I think this is one is the reasons for the club and Staveley coming out. If I was Ashley I would just start releasing the stuff he has to his chosen newspapers bit by bit, fuck them

Well this is different because it involves money. If they lose this case they stand to pay Mike Ashley millions. I can understand them using all available time to prepare the best case they can.

 

I would imagine if this becomes obvious to them that there is a risk of a large financial penalty coming their way, they will settle.

 

Actually, I’m more optimistic about the whole thing now than I was earlier. We were all working off an assumption that we had won the jurisdiction and that now if was going to be about it being behind closed doors which would have been terrible.

 

But we’re actually not there yet. The case is still live and I would imagine the judge/president will be a little annoyed at the constant requests for more time considering the club are in the same process but have not asked for this at any stage.

 

It’s also occurred to me that tying the PL up in all of this weakens their preparation time for the arbitration case too.

The 28th was when Ashley's company responded to the PL's jurisdiction application. The PL's subsequent reply to that was originally due today, but it has now been extended to the 12 (a seven day extention).

So bloody boring, this.

 

Totally agree. The PL are never going to let this happen . Sooner we accept it the better. Just like Rafa not coming back , good stuff never happens to us .

 

Forget NUFC , it's better for your health and pocket .
