Wandy Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 This still on then? "The Saudi takeover of NUFC no longer exists as a going concern. Ashley is pursuing damages on the grounds of restraint of trade. No-one should give a shit whether he gets what he wants on that front." IMTTS said no. Think this statement proves he is, as suspected, full of shit. He wont be seen round these parts for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candi_Hills Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 The statement says that they may appeal this High Court decision. I wonder how long that would take. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this statement proves he is, as suspected, full of shit. I'd imagine there will be a few posters go ghost on the back of this information. Doesn't hurt to have an opinion or want to think a certain way, but name calling arguing opinion as fact just makes you look a bit daft in the long run. And the place will be better for it. so many fucking odd ball's signing up to just pour misery in the takeover thread, bunch of weird cunts that they were.

PlymouthGeordie Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I've read it twice now still havent a clue ? Could somebody break it down for the halfwits of the group, is it good news, bad news ? And what's this about ashley on SSN thanks ? It's both. Good news = The deal is still on the table and the final result of the hearing will be made public. The club also won on the fact they were allowed to make the most recent judgement public. Bad news = The club were unsuccessful in removing the chair of arbitration who they suspect could be biased. Additionally, the club lost when requesting the whole hearing be made public. Unknown news = If casting public doubt on the chair of arbitration will prevent them from being bias. The fact the result and some details of the arbitration hearing will be public should help prevent that. I'm far from an expert but the above is my high level takeaway from the clubs statement. Happy for others that are more knowledgeable to correct me if my interpretation is wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 That judgement is good news.... i think and will be exactly what the bread baker wanted. The panel will have to be seen to be fair without the meerest hint of bias, as mentioned earlier. Also, the being made public thing is good because if the PL say they did A, B and C, and someone (ashley, bishop, MBS, random leak or published stuff already on the web) says they that they did B, C and D it will give demarco ammo to use and will call into question the fairness on the panel and its chairman. Being made public will hopefully force the PL to stick to the already established version and timeline of events. Its possible that demarco may already have the ammo ready but is waiting for the PL to slip up. The bias angle here is potentially HUGE and if proven, perhaps even strongly hinted at, it could force the PL's hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 So basically they have decided on the size of the pitch and chose the ref and linesmen, we just need a kick off time sorting . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhtoon Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Bit shady that he didn't offer to stand down when we requested it but offered it up to the EPLs lawyers if they wanted him to. Doesn't mean he's dodgy though, and he will have to be seen as whiter that white in the case... which is definitely happening!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Appreciate positive spins being applied to this. However bit concerning that this was the first step for our highly esteemed legal team to flex their muscle and it looks like they failed. Sounds abit QAnon to start saying it doesn't matter as they just wanted to get the bias out in public. I don't think they would have done this if then didn't intend to win the case but they haven't, they've lost. So were essentially right up against it now when the arbitration starts. The positive is that this is clearly still going on in the background of course but with relegation looming its not as exciting as it could have been. Seems abit irrelevant now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 The only real negative is who Ashley is up against. Beloff, Neuberger and Dyson are proper heavyweights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzz Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Good to get some confirmation that things are actually ongoing (and surely totally disproves whatever info Luke Edwards was fed), but doesn't exactly seem to bode well for the outcome of arbitration.

Yorkie Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Edwards wasn't wrong, he just chose his words in such a way to drive people into a bit of a frenzy, with misleading connotations about how it had all gone to shit and that no takeover existed any more in any sense. Just being a daft little wum at usual, important to remember that about him before giving any time to what he's actually saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
