Yeah, saying it's just the amount of loss that's in question, depending on what happens eventually. Of course he has to say that, because otherwise it would play into the PL's point that this isn't the right forum and/or it should be postponed until after the arbitration.

SUPERTOON Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 He’s pretty much accepting that he may have to sell the club for less than the original agreed price as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda vital that he argues that too tbh Doesn’t it depend on how much he (or the company known as St James’s) sells the club for. If it’s less than what it would have been if it had passed straight away then he may be entitled to damages for the difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) So obvious even before that comment he only wanted to sell to PIF as long they are still willing to buy, because it'll make him more money long term with the contacts etc in the middle east. Willing seller*, but with terms and conditions attached. Edited September 29, 2021 by neesy111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 It’s more to do with the fact that PIF will pay up front and will give him the inflated price he’s looking for imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can buy property in Saudi Arabia with a valid business visa and local commercial partner (which he already has). Unless you’re suggesting the government of KSA will partner up with Mike Ashley in some capacity or facilitate something for him? Just don’t see it personally.

Guest reefatoon Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 If nothing comes from this, at least we now know exactly why it wasn't passed and why it is going to arbitration. Also that PIF are still there too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the point of them mentioning the importance of analysing the market that they may be credible now for Xm, which is what the club is currently worth, but actually that's less than the PIF agreed 340m?
