    Fake news... the Saudis are going to buy Leeds instead and get in through the back door. The media will all say it's great for the city, great for football and they deserve it.

    Yes and they then have something to hide behind. The top 6 clap their hands and all of the premier league has a wry smile on their face.

    No evidence of failure.

    The WTO report is a confidential document until released publically. If it has been leaked then use of it in the public domain is breach of confidence. In other words, if the PL were to make a decision to fail using that report prior to official publication they would be sued.

    Mate we will be ok. We have had Ashley for 13 years so we are used to have our pants pulled down. Plus it’s Ashley who suffers the most on this one if it fails so that will be good for once. The ****er will still probably sell to this American chap.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if he has already negotiated the deal with the American and the premier league are conducting the fit and proper test on him in quiet!

    They don't need evidence, they need reasonable doubt. They already have access to this report.

    the crowing ,patronising and joy in the media will be released like an atomic bomb through the release of relief

    Who would you rather own the club - someone like Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, a group like Fenway Sports or Saudi?

    I'm as pissed at this whole sorry affair as anyone, but Ashley seems certain to leave and Saudi isn't the only option.

    Reasonable doubt only applies to criminal law. Balance of probabilities applies. If they refer to the WTO report, by quoting evidence of links from it they cannot use it until it is public. They are not a party to the dispute as the WTO deal with trade disputes between states, not private companies.

    The PL has to give a written decision, provide disclosure of evidence considered and give a right to appeal. Use of a leaked confidential document would be frowned upon.

    It's in one of their clauses, bud. In the handbook.

    Where the PL not given the report by WTO for them to take into consideration? They would stipulate that no comment can be made until the document is in the public domain which of reports are correct is middle of June.

    That's just it. No-one knows. If the WTO gave them it then that is different.

    people seem under the illusion that there's no connection between the last minute information from the WTO and the 4 weeks of nothing since! let's not keep ignoring the fact it was 100% getting done that week...

    go figure
