They're currently challenging jurisdiction, that is a get out of jail free card for them if it's successful. It wouldn't make much sense for them to settle until after the outcome of the jurisdiction challenge is known, but it would make a lot of sense for them to settle at that point if the challenge is not successful.

Let's hope that jurisdiction goes our way then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokerprince2004 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Aye Ben Jacobs did a Q&A this morning for an hour on Wraith's podcast, was pretty interesting. He seems to think the BeIn letter isnt important but did mention that NUFC should try and delay arbitration in july until after disclosure phase of Ashleys claim. If arbitration is sorted before disclosure then it wont effect sale he reckons as PIF will be long gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess by late June things might be a little clearer although I doubt anyone other than the lawyers will know what’s actually happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 They will certainly keep Bruce in charge. It happens often with this type of takeover scenario. But the first standard Bruce style horrible run with see him gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Sorry if I've missed something but is Ben Jacobs some kind of law buff? Feel like we hang on his every word as almost gospel, yet I'm not sure how or why he is so involved in any of this other than being a shady fucker who worked for Bein a while ago.

Keeps spouting stuff about the takeover because he knows our fans react to him, before this saga he was a journalist no one had known much about except from the time the BBC said he isn’t fit to be a journalist.

nufcjb Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Bruce loves money just like Ashley. I'm sure the Saudis can pay him more than he can earn anywhere else should he need another job. Give his some pocket change and perhaps a nice holiday villa in the Middle East. Plus a pair of tickets to a boxing fight in the Saudis too and he'll leave with his head held high (in his mind) .
