sherlyegg Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 20 minutes ago, prowl said: If we win the court will order that Newcastle must pay our costs. Not always... '.....very rarely enables the winner to recover their costs in full; there will almost always be a shortfall. It is for the Court to decide on the amount of costs payable. The court will disallow costs which have been “unreasonably incurred” or “are unreasonable in amount”. On the usual (“standard”) basis for assessing costs the Court will only allow costs which are “proportionate to the matters in issue” – with the benefit of the doubt going to the party who is paying. Often this means that the costs to be recovered have to be in proportion to the amount in dispute – though that is not the only factor to take into account. A Judge can also punish one or other party (or even both!) in relation to costs if there has been unreasonable conduct – for instance, unreasonable failure to take part in mediation.' I guess if we went to court we might find out who was being unreasonable....don't think lashley would give a shyte about that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are contracts in place we are entitled to the compensation stated in the contracts. If Ashley is not prepared to pay up we can ask the courts to enforce the terms of the contract. This is the way English law operates. If the amount shown in the contracts has been paid we are on shakey ground but we could possibly be able to go after Newcastle for an illegal approach. I'm not at all sure about the rights and wrongs of that. The pursuit of a case against Newcastle isn't relevant to the start of the season. It will be in the hands of the solicitors now. The football management side is insulated from that. The club administration will deal with it not the team manager or coaches. We don’t know what is actually in the contracts do we. Even then we don’t know that the content will definitely be legally binding given that we don’t know what discussion took place between us and Newcastle about the 3 individuals and their resignation. How would a court interpret the value of any loans or other offers that Ashley has made if we don’t accept them. If it gets as far as the courts then it is certainly not a 100% slam dunk so who knows about costs. Given the hands on approach of our owner he will be knee deep in this, getting our manager and negotiating with agents for any new players we might be looking at. Also if the solution involves loaning players that has to be done quickly and certainly impacts on the playing side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand theit manager has a magnificent moustache and DC was wondering if the guy could do a job for us. Negotiations are proceeding well and it should be a good deal for us, so far the wage negotiations are 3 goats per month with a signing on fee of 2 camels. That's great for us as livestock don't count for P & S. I'll keep you informed. probably better off keeping the goats for a better deal, instead of settling for one of the merry-go-round has beens in the betting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 All this talk of animals that mixes well with our apocalyptic drama-queens, could point to the next manager being called Noah something, which goes well with the ITKnoahNothing's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is it in a nutshell IMO. for NUFC to have done what they did ie forced it. They must have surely paid what they believe is the legal requirement in contract for all 3. Bruce has said as much in his interview. However, this has generated a lot of negative PR for Newcastle and Ashley and even their own fans are using it against him. So I think they could do without it and may just think getting rid of a few players they’d loan out in any case to close it off may be worth doing.

Sonny Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Thankfully I’m starting to feel sure that Bullen will not be given the job, barring us literally being unable to find anyone else to do it. I don’t think he’s a choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we give permission to approach him or authorise the move? That seems to be where it gets ambiguous. Others hint there were talks as soon as Rafa left. Don’t know if that’s true but even Shearer said he’d had dinner with Bruce weeks ago and discussed it. Edited July 21, 2019 by Bluesteel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
