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

Guest reefatoon Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-more Mag Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 26 minutes ago, Wandy said: So the PL didnt actually meet the deadline of the 28th did they? They applied for an extension two days late. 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). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandy Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Why have the club stated that the PL want the CAT behind closed doors then? Its not on record on any of the CAT website notes is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 .

Guest reefatoon Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) Love how they only handed out tiny fines to the arsehole 6 because they would deem it “unfair” on the fans for any stiffer penalty. Yet here we are, practically a year and a half down the line being shafted by these same bastard people. Bunch of utter cunts and corrupt as fuck.

Dr Jinx Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Just looking through the PL accounts, it seems they really can’t afford to have any sort of financial judgement go against them. They have about 1.5 million cash in the bank, the rest of what they get in gets passed on to member clubs. You think they are going to be happy to share a 300m penalty between them to stop a takeover? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
