PIF and RB Sports & Media

[Yorkie]

PL believes cat claim and arbitration involves same conduct, issues and complaints, and are in effect the same. 

[Numbers]

This is a comedy like, break, break, break.

[Yorkie]

Definitely gonna use 'bedevilled by mutes' on my next Teams meeting.

PL decided that ksa would be a director, PL did then not proceed to question of OADT cos PIF was not prepared to proceed with the transaction unless PL decided that KSA would not be a director. 

 

What's arbitration actually for then? To decide whether KSA is a director or not? If so there's no chance we win that.

Yeah I assume your right there, Or to arbitrate that the KSA doesn't need to be down as a Director from the PL's point of view. So not to argue if they are or not, to argue that obviously they are but they don't need to be?

[nbthree3]

Pretty much, it's using the words "control" and "director" in section A of the PL rules to apply those terms to KSA to see if it meets the criteria.

 

PIF would refuse to proceed as it stands if KSA needed to be a director, it opens up piracy talk and it gets complicated at that stage. But it is the KSA's sovereign wealth fund so it'll take some proper manoeuvring to get around the definitions

Lost now, like. Dunno what he's going on about. 

[Lazarus]

Hes setting the stage that the actors act on.

 

Has De Marco spoke yet?

It's just a load of words to me at this stage, like.

[Guest reefatoon]

look at all those words

[Fantail Breeze]

How the fuck has Matt Lucas got on the stream?

[SUPERTOON]

Does whoever is representing the club get a turn to speak ?

Basically NUFC have agreed to and are therefore bound by the PL and FA rules which state arbitration is the sole method of settling disputes like this. 

He’s just reading the rules and past examples.

 

Will be surprised if this doesn’t get paused for arbitration imo.

No wonder they've kicked the can so far down the road over the last year or so, he'd talk a glass eye to sleep 

[Wandy]

Lewis is arguing that SJHL and NUFC are one and the same and, to be honest, it sounds convincing. I hope DeMarco has got something good in his locker as he is going to need it.

He's basically saying every holding in the company is classed as a controlling party and thus bound by the PL rules.

[Fantail Breeze]

NDM sat there looking like I do on Teams calls when I’m trying to blag my way through something I have no idea about  

Sure he’ll be class though. Go on lad.

[Ashley17]

This is supposed to be what NDM is good at so I’m hoping for some sort of Jim Carrey in Liar Liar routine 

[Mattoon]

So SJHL is not a named director but he's making as many arguments as possible to say that they have to be.

[El Hozzo]

anyone dared to record this yet ? any knocks on the door ...?

[RS]

It’s almost like watching Newcastle. That Constant sinking feeling something dire is just around the corner. 

[Numbers]

Bloke seems to be struggling a bit here.

[Wandy]

Daniel Jowell is not impressed like. 

[Mattoon]

I feel like he's flapping at the moment. He's nervous about the actual standing of SJHL.

Because Ashley is using SJHL to skip past arbitration and go straight to CAT.
