So just to be clear:

-EFL threatened with action over their alleged OK-ing of the sale of Hillsborough then backtracking

-Leicester to have action taken against them for George Hirst

-Local council taken to court with a ruling pending based off of perceived overzealous Hillsborough restrictions

 

Have I missed anything?  

 

 

What ever happened with Mike Ashley and Bruce's compo?

Think we need a line up thread for our legal team, so we can discuss tactics etc.

 

Some of them must have made more appearances than some of our players.

 

Got to be some legal experts on here. 

 

With a name like yours maybe you should look into it!

SWFC set to be in court more than Tommy Robinson.

I might have missed something, but while we might argue it was morally wrong, what regulations or laws were breached?

 

I hope our case against the EFL is much stronger than this appears to be.

No but the timing is slightly ironic don’t you think 

In what way is it ironic?

The only people who will make any money here will be the lawyers.

My thoughts exactly. 
 

I’m genuinely interested in knowing what we’d be pursuing them on here. 
 

It’s pretty scummy and unbecoming from a club in Leicester’s position to be pulling that kind of stunt over (absolute tops) a couple of million, but that’s the morally bankrupt world of football. And the higher up the pyramid you go, the sharper the sharks’ teeth become.

 

You could even draw parallels between what Leicester did with Hirst, and our own actions around the sale of Hillsborough to circumnavigate P&S rules.

Need to put Brian Laws in charge of the legal team.

About time we stood up for ourselves. Had too many years were we've just bent over and passed back the lube.

 

That’s quite a suitable summary of today’s performance.

Principles are very expensive. We are right here but legally probably don’t have a leg to stand on.

I'm left thinking that unless we officially resolved this at the time we may very well reignite it.

 

My interpretation of the news about Hirst junior is that we are opening another front where we can quite easily point to a blatant rules manipulation by Leicester and the player. I'm guessing that in the event we lose our stadium/accounts dispute we're going to claim there are double standards going on and that the rules in general are a bo!!ocks. 

 

Or......DC just feels like fighting every f***er ATM, a feeling I can relate to.

It's got to the point where we can no longer take the wee wee out of McSue. 

 

DC's on a different level.
