But if they are 100% innocent all this noise is damaging their brand and image. They absolutely do not want that and the perfect response would be to let people see they are not at fault. I mean it's like an innocent person being questioned with a murder charge sit there and say "no comment" to everything.

Both parties will sling plenty of dirt in the coming weeks, very little of it will be relevant or it'd go before the panel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) 38 minutes ago, Abacus said: Luke Edwards now seems to be saying these are desperation tactics. As opposed to yesterday, when there was no takeover at all, and this was all just a smokescreen to avoid spending money on transfers. Regardless of what that click-baiting fool thinks, I'd like full transparency on all of this too. Luke Edwards is a desperation tactic.

Abacus Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 21 minutes ago, Joey Linton said: I get why the club might want it done in public, but can anyone explain why the Premier league would ever go for that?

No one knows the motive or where the fuck it's at. I'm just posting how I interpreted it or is that not allowed. It is impossible to truly judge and second guess whether its positive or negative.

Manxst Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 18 minutes ago, Joey Linton said: No, i mean why would the Premier League ever say "yeah ok" to something in which they are effectively a defendant? Because it would show them to be honest, fair, virtuous, non discriminatory, and non prejudiced or influenced by outside sources…..lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fucker apart those very very close to this have no idea what this means. The cynic in me is it's Mike Ashley just reminding fans that he wants this done, however as other have said rightly it could be putting more pressure on the PL.

From the Premier League's perspective there's a perfectly valid reason to not hold the arbitration in public. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandy Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 That statement reads like a warning to me. Get this over the line or the whole shit show will end up in the public domain. Notice how government intervention and the recent handling of the ESL is prominently mentioned. Reads to me like Ashley saying he has the ear of the government.

nbthree3 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Written in the rules, I do understand the need for privacy. The line about "both parties can agree" is interesting as I didn't know that.

Abacus Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Also, the statement refers to the legality of the decision making process. That's a clear reference to the CAT case, I'd have said. It's like a penalty shoot out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
