    How long were they initially given for disclosure? Surely not 6 months? If not why would you need that much time to get the missing information? The only thing I could think is that it is to give “stability” to the club to finish the next season in the knowledge that Ashley will be in charge for all of it. But I dont believe that.

    Staveleys fella clearly saying it’s the PL dicking about.

    And there was me about to get a ST again.

    If that Twitter account of Staveley's husband is genuine then no, because he posted an arsey tweet about the Premier League:

    Bird & Bird have played a blinder here, like. Masters of obstruction.

    If you lot really wanted to get the PL attention you should do what we did and stop the games being played. You’re almost certainly getting relegated anyway, so.

    What's everyone flapping about?

    It's only a few months.

    I agree with that course of action 100% but I doubt enough people would go along with it. For the most part our fans don't want to rock the boat and a lot of them are probably fine with Bruce and more of the same.

    It's a good idea though especially since Man Utd did it and arguably received support in doing it (in some sense, at least). Although I doubt NUFC would get the same sympathy from the pundits somehow.

    "Early 2022" is at minimum 5 months but it could well be even longer than that, as much as 9 months! It's over. PIF are in the process of leaving the building.

    The club statement is quite short and blunt and says no further comment will be made by either party.

    This differs from the tone of previous club statements on this matter, and it’s quite clear the club has agreed to this delay.

    Is this part of a bigger picture that we are not privy to yet?

    Will see what happens with the CAT.

    Potentially that is it for me and football.

    Well i don't understand the issue.

    It's Ashley fur another season with a chance of him going after arbitration.. Arbitration win will still come alot faster than finding another buyer..
