TK-421 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Didn’t someone come out claiming they were behind the account? More than one did that... Aye if I remember right, Puke Edwards had threatened to out the person behind the account, and then the account claimed something legal had happened and they had to stop tweeting (or something), and then there seemed to be a bit of a 'Spartacus' moment on Twitter with loads of account posting the same 'Its me' message.

FloydianMag Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 So NUFC confirm they are undertaking legal proceedings, but haven't confirmed on what grounds? I wouldn’t think they have to say what grounds, just that they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Broon Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 So NUFC confirm they are undertaking legal proceedings, but haven't confirmed on what grounds? It's been widely reported that the only issue is whether the KSA / MbS should be disclosed as a director, so that's very likely to be the only issue they're arbitrating on.

Do you think they’ll get arbitration on the whole deal and not the single issue of MBS/govt. After rejecting arbitration on the single point it would seem that’s what they’ll be aiming for. I still think a major point in our favour is the PL’s own rule book, which correct me if I’m wrong directed them to reject deal if all information wasn’t provided, as opposed to kicking into long grass ?

xLiaaamx Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 You couldn't get compensation without it being shown that the PL unfairly stopped the takeover, making the takeover then possible, surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candi_Hills Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 The Money Mike Ashley account went into radio-silence back on 30th Oct...just saying... What’s the significance of 30th October? I think he was suggesting that Money Mike's disappearance may have coincided with the inception of the legal proceedings, which would put us close to three weeks in.

wibble Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Yeah, just theorised it hints at a possible timeline. Assuming MMA shut up because of impending legal action, that might indicate a rough start date for this kicking off...PL rules are that both sides then have 14 days to each appoint arbitrator, another 14 days to appoint a 3rd arbitrator (the chair), another 14 days for directions of conduct, and the chair then sets a date for the tribunal. So, we're possibly quite far into that process. Would assume PL are dragging it out, given the latest NUFC statement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the "because of the way Bird & Bird are proceeding" line makes it sound as if they're being right awkward gits. I wonder if this will effect us in the future. They might hold a perma-grudge against us and go through Mbappe and De Bruyne's paper work with the finest of fine combs to try and catch us out.

Ankles Bennett Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 It's significant that the PL held up the takeover by offering arbitration which some say could take up to two years to resolve, by which time the "Big 6" would have grabbed power and would then veto our takeover. It's so obvious that was the reason behind the delaying tactics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 “Nevertheless, the club will continue to use its best efforts to press for a fair, full and timely hearing of its claim.” Any such process would require pre-hearing disclosure from both parties and sources close to the failed deal suspect the Premier League is anxious to avoid the need to make such revelations. Given that PIF had pledged to invest hundreds of millions of pounds in regenerating the north-east and are believed to remain committed to the idea of buying Newcastle, the government is understood to harbour hope that the takeover can be resurrected.

Nah you missed the killer line - 'Any such process would require pre-hearing disclosure from both parties and sources close to the failed deal suspect the Premier League is anxious to avoid the need to make such revelations. So according to the PL handbook, both sides have 14 days to assign people, and then another 14 days for chair and then 14 days to disclose info.

Stifler Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 The government have been applying pressure on the Premier League all along, they aren’t listening. Government should just say that Premier League won’t get any help or be allowed fans back for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
