Absolutely agree. If you are so confident, what need is there to start a media offensive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Its more than likely a coordinated strategy they've had planned for a while, to pile public and political pressure on the PL prior to arbitration. I fully expect the PL to leak some dirt to try and undermine them too. Its neither good nor bad, just a bit of public cat and mouse before things kick off.

Wandy Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 We have known for months that they aren't happy with the arbitration panel. This feels to me like a message to those on the panel themselves. I still don't understand why they have left it so long to suggest that the arbitration be played out in public. I'm guessing it's because they know that has no chance of happening so, at the very least, start venting about it just as the process is about to begin to apply scrutiny to the panel.

It’s all coordinated pressure. It’s not a sign of weakness. We have been wanting to get some solid information for months, they are now starting to talk, pile the pressure on and let us fans know they are still there. I personally think it’s a great move.

Because all that is happening is the PL keep trying to kick the can down the road. I’ll twist it round and say if the Premier League are so confident, then why do they keep trying to stall everything again and again.

Yes, I'm sick of it too, but I have always felt (at the same time) that a lot is happening all of the time, and also that they have never stopped it, they have just slowed it down. It is clearly 'speeding up again' right now though, exciting times ahead for us NUFC fans, and BOY do we deserve it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They think they can just get away with letting it run and run and fizzle out. They thought they had achieved that last year when PIF pulled out in July. They haven’t went away though and now they are being very vocal. This will be real big pressure on the premier league. They will need to act either way here, it’s gaining too much traction for them to just let it go on and fizzle out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club was sold in April 2020 ffs and yet has been stopped in it’s tracks for no real reason Careful !! I've said exactly that on here loads of times, and some members here just "cannot stand it", they just pull you to bits for fun, it is so self-destructive for NUFC.

Kanji Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Sucks that a league approval (that appears more about their interpretation about who will run the club and their inability to give it over 15 weeks) has stalled a legal deal signed between two willing parties.

geordie_b Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I really dont understand this "'We know nothing about the arbitration, We can't be part of the arbitration, and we don't know what's going on. By having it in a public forum, we have a chance to understand what's going on, and how we deal with that.'" How aren't the buyers part of the process? Do they just submit their evidence and then hope, I figured they would all be round a table discussing/arguing it once it starts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they just submit their evidence and then hope, I figured they would all be round a table discussing/arguing it once it starts? Until the process is completed then the only parties engaging in the D&D test are the PL and NUFC. It is the club that officially puts the potential D&Os forward and therefore the arbitration has to be between the PL and NUFC. Of course PIF/PCP/Reubens know what's going on, but officially they don't. Same as Man U, Liverpool etc, they 'know' but they don't know whats going on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
