this is the key point. It will open the floodgates which in turn will cause the league to fall apart. Now the big 6 have been exposed the only way to disprove the theory that they are the ones running and influencing the PL is to pass the deal

And thus allow the legal case to be dropped. A “phew” moment for the PL?

I did say on page 10@@ that this type of thing may have been an option to Ashley: back when I was in the “it’s a compo claim and not arb for approval”.

Yes good point. I don’t know how the legal world works.

Now that the case has been made official can the PL say “ok let’s negotiate the arbitration, we give you the official go ahead with certain clauses. One of which is you drop the legal case!”

Can that be done now it has been brought up?

They can agree anything they want. I suspect they will.

I suspect that even if NUFC does drop it then another club will take it up. Particularly if the six aren't punished.

The failure of the PL to impose immediate sanctions is disgraceful.

this.
At any point a case or claim can be dropped.

Mike will just ask the PL to cover his legal costs thus far which they will.

like I said a few weeks ago the ESL thing is a massive boost to the takeover as it draws attention to the influence of the big 6.

That right there is evidence of pressure. A commercial partner involving themselves in a takeover. The IP infringement angle is a separate issue.

One of which is completely unconnected with PIF, MA, NUFC, AS and the Rueben brothers.

Not only that, MBS is not legally involved in the takeovers. He is so far removed from it.

I just think that, under pressure, the PL had to come up with something that they thought might swing it in their favour. Make the Saudi kingdom (or MBS) a director and bang the next step is then to use the O and D test to block it.

I bet they didn’t envisage what happened thereafter and now they are so far down a hole they cannot recover.

the arbitration and that new claim are separate. Looks like Mike has indeed upped the stakes to try to avoid having to Fanny around with arbitration.

my guess is masters will agree to pass the deal and cover some of mikes costs.

Everyone’s a winner. Well. Everyone but the rest of the PL. Mhaw ha ha ha ha

everyone would be a winner mate. Remember that all clubs are skint and all of a sudden a big injection of money etc in the PL, and potentially future tv rights from Saudi can only benefit.

a strong NUFC playing good football can only enhance the image of the PL globally.


Would a dude in a hut in Lahore want to watch a Brighton or a NUFC in a sold out SJP.

We still have a lot of global fans remember.
