NCSL & NUFC Anti-Corruption ... Takeover Thread

1/ From the outset, letâs make it clear that this is a POSITIVE for the takeover. The club have absorbed the NCSL case and can take that forward with a bottomless pit of funds and the best legal team money can buy. Thereâs no way this is a negative move!
2/ first and foremost - the fact that a FAN LED battle has teamed up with the football club clearly highlights thereâs real public interest here. This goes beyond a takeover too and concerns itself with the conduct of the PL (fan-led reviews of PL are a very current topichttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đĄ" title="Elektrische GlĂŒhbirne" aria-label="Emoji: Elektrische GlĂŒhbirne">...)
3/ For MA to take an NUFC fan seriously means NCSL must have some pretty damning evidence. NCSLâs evidence alone is reported to be enough to bring the PL to their knees. Throw in the evidence NUFC have been gathering for 9 months and youâre looking at a mountain of solid proof.
3.5/ (as a side note, a top qualified TEAM of QCâs will not take on a case that doesnât have legs. Yes, this is a huge case and it can seem daunting ... but surely the evidence speaks volumes to be progressed this far with absolute confidence).
4/ Staveley knew the best way to bring Anti-Competition to light was to make sure this is firmly in the public interest. She put out the rallying call for fans to stand up and gave us the tools to unearth the corruption. Project Big Picture and the ESL have underlined that.
5/ And so now is the perfect time to bring this action. The ESL has massively changed the landscape and fan eyes are open to the collusion and corruption throughout the UK now - itâs there in black and white. Itâs been international news.
6/ With that, thereâs a tonne of question marks being fired at Hoffman and Masters outside of the NUFC camp. Karen Brady didnât hold back in her assessment and you can assume that other high profile directors are also incensed. The scrutiny has never been more intense.
7/ (back to NUFC) ... Ashley has played his hand perfectly here. His wording of âdark forcesâ and the fact he publicly calls out the the PL as having not safeguarded its clubs is very clever and relevant. Fans and clubs throughout the UK all feel this way at the moment.
8/ and so suddenly itâs less âpoor NUFCâ and more âhang on ... the âother 14â are being capped and weâre not allowed to be competitive. Weâre being stopped and the NUFC Takeover is a clear and obvious example of thisâ. Our circumstances are now very relevant in the larger picture
9/ Yes, MA is going for damages. But we all know MA and heâs completely money focussed and has every right to hit the PL in their pockets. Whatâs more important is 2). âThe Injunctionâ to change the PL stance on the takeover. He wants this remedied in court. Heâs wants everything
10/ Our biggest positive? The PL arenât in control of this. They canât delay and they canât hide and obscure anything at all. The silence weâve had for months has been GOLDEN. The club have meticulously lined up and cross examined their own evidence to be watertight.
10.5/ The PL havenât seen this coming. Theyâve been so focussed on arbitration and the rest of their circus that this case will come at them faster than they can handle. And this is a BIG one. Theyâll have to rebut all evidence put to them beyond reasonable doubt. Thatâs mammoth.
11/ The PL have so much to lose here. This goes beyond a takeover and could unearth some serious PL misconduct with jobs, reputation and power all at risk.
12/ Most likely, the PL will be squirming and will do everything in their power to avoid court. Why? They donât want anything coming out. Thatâs been a theme from the start. Theyâre desperate to keep everything confidential and under wraps. Outside of court settlement? ..Likely.
13/ Add to the fact that Man City have just brought legal action and thereâs massive pressure from the Government and probably FIFA/UEFA re: the ESL and youâre looking at the perfect storm. The constant throughout? Masters and Hoffman.
14/ It wouldnât surprise me at all to see a lot of internal and external pressure for some resignations on their behalf. Cut off the head of the snake and you can grow something different. This is a huge power play from MA and I see a takeover on the horizon.
