He’s a Hillbilly. Go easy on him. Difficult for him to understand big words or long sentences or, in fact, English to be perfectly honest.
Yes, however Reubens used Rb sports and Media for their NUFC shareholding. The JV1 is the shared ownership company. This latest one is something new. It's either takeover related, or could be for property purchases in Newcastle?
It's an argument from ignorance to simply say "oh well I can't think of anything else it could be" This is nothing news... We already know the owner is confident and we know arbitration is close.
Maybe its The Platinum Club Toilet renovations project. It will likely be one of the biggest building projects in the NE for many years and Ashley was not going to commit until season was done.
Its sad how you have gone from trying to persuade us that a picture of a loaf of bread cut three ways, posted by our representative in an arbitration hearing with the PL, was evidence that the deal was done, to this.
I have simply taken a position of uncertainty. There's no more clues required. At that time the deal was suggested to be dead and plenty to ponder, but we now know its a 50/50 arbitration case.
Disclosure is 9th June. All evidence to be in by then. Question do both sides get a copy of each other’s evidence after evidence has been submitted. Is it possible that MA has stuck to the original deadline for disclosure of evidence. This has passed over. MA team believe the evidence is water tight and he has said to the Pl (off the record) come on. The case is water tight for us you don’t have a leg to stand on. Pass it now, we drop ARB. Complete on 1st July (@Darren Peacock's Ponytail) and I drop the CAT case.
Look I know it’s the sun and mail. But that’s where mikes paper contacts are. My previous post is what I think has happened. These reports are popping up everywhere by the way.
Possibly. Disclosure is the key in this one. If it is damning the PL may wish to avoid arbitratiin/ XAT and reach a settlement.
Do you know if each side gets a copy of each other’s evidence? From what I have read it doesn’t sound like they argue about the cases in front of the judges etc. They just assess what they have received and make a decision. I.e the legal work is done etc. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that MA has said to the PL make a deal now pre ARB or I’m pushing the CAT case even if the PL lose ARB. That’s a carrot dangling that the PL could not turn down.
That’s my point. Maybe it’s not! They (PL) will only have just received all of MA evidence? Possibly?
