Absolutely impossible to say whether the cards are stacked in NUFC's favour or not. There are two ongoing cases but that does not necessarily make the resolution being in NUFC's favour a more likely occurrence. None of us have access to the details of the case so it cannot be stated which side has the advantage. Legal commentators may have commented PL have a leg to stand on. Doesn't mean they're correct. Conversely I'm sure you can find legal commentators who say NUFC don't have a leg to stand on. The Tories did indeed want the takeover but that made no difference at all back in the summer of 2020. If anything that points counts against it going through. Also, you must consider the possibility that the PL have not actually misbehaved and that's why they're so bullishly confident. By their account, they asked for extra information to be able to ascertain whether or not MBS is a shadow director and that information was not provided. It's possible they are and always have been in the right. Ashley is taking a punt on this because it's not his money to spend. He'll be using Staveley's £17m. If he wins he's laughing, if he loses he's not out of pocket. Don't get your hopes up based on no evidence.
Very few legal commentators are actually supporting the PL's position. We're talking experienced barristers for the most part. Re the PL. The consortium reportedly supplied evidence from the Saudi Royal Court and our own Government but the PL refused to consider it. Whether that is true or not it will come out in time. I think we all know that there was outside influence. BEin lobbied the PL and the other 19 clubs. Hatice Cengiz wrote to the PL via her lawyers. There were meetings between Richard Masters, Hoffman and BEin after the takeover had reportedly been verbally agreed. There is also the part the top 6 played. It will all come out.
Lads seriously just stop! PIF is 320 billion of the states money set aside... Look who the chairman is for gods sake man.. Our governments ruling didn't work and the royal courts in Saudi would be chopped up of they grassed mbs up. It's never going to happen...
Crikey bud you can read! I said there was no evidence, but that the indications were that something was supposed to be happening. That’s my position today.
