For example, if the CAT tribunal dismiss their jurisdiction claim or if they're forced to disclose damning evidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The premier league delaying tactics are annoying but I'll tell you what is more annoying, the fact they're legally allowed to keep delaying.

And it will eventually bite them in the arse. For all that the judiciary are meant to be impartial and not let stuff like that influence them, they're only human. Part of our case will be about them deliberately delaying things, if they constantly delay and ask for extensions in this process it will not look good for their defence.

Nobody Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I'm just happy we've got some concrete dates for when this shit is going down. Just need to get a conclusion either way and stop all the baseless speculation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Might be wrong, but it reads to me like the document the PL really wanted to get access to related to the value of the club, and hence how much they would stand to lose if they lost the competition case. If that's right, then despite the extension, the judge basically said that this isn't relevant to the actual rights or wrongs of your defence. To my mind, it's an odd question for the PL to ask if you're confident of your case in the first place. I.e., how much will I have to pay? Of course, I may well be misunderstanding all that, since I had a beer at lunchtime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Yeah, I think people's frustrations at the length of time it is taking and still likely to take are more down to the false hopes that have been spouted about it being some time last year, then early this, then March/April... This is just how it was always going to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Irritated we’re likely going into the new season without a conclusion and given the last few weeks of results it also means it’ll likely be with Bruce.

There's no 'likely' about it, it absolutely will be Bruce and I think we can assume a contract extension will arrive at some point next season, even if just for a year.

I'm dumbfounded that people still think he won't be here next season. This is Sports Direct FC, the only way out is if you resign or you stay in the bottom three for a period of time, unless your name is Chris Hughton (Sam Allardyce doesn't count as Ashley hadn't ripped us apart yet and was a footballing decision). Bruce won't leave without a payoff and Ashley won't give him one, so there it is in a nutshell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Broon Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I don't get why everyone is so negative about this news. We now know that arbitration is well underway and the hearing will be in July. We didn't even know whether it had started before today, or that it was an expedited process (in which a decision is typically made within 6 weeks of the hearing). This means we will likely have a decision either just before or shortly after the start of the season, if the CAT case doesn't force a settlement before then. For the first time we have a pretty definite timescale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't clear that the CAT case is going to court yet, they're challenging the jurisdiction of the case. If they lose that challenge they could conceivably throw in the towel at that point.

The PL are going to delay, delay, delay... and even if it gets to a position where they have to defend themselves, they will. They’re clearly unmoved and all of the noise created by people around this whole saga is nothing but that, noise. Worth noting we opposed the extension. So thats 0/2 for court decisions now for the unbeatable legal team we have. Arbitration in July. Decision probably in August. If that goes against us, years and years of legal arguments before it even gets heard. Fuck all chance of this happening. If the PL were going to fold, they would have by now.
