While Wednesday waits for the hearing, which The Athletic understands is imminent, they can take some confidence from a small victory in the arbitration stage of the proceedings that saw all the personal charges against Chansiri, former chief executive Katrien Meire and finance director John Redgate dropped. So we lost the arbitration in regards to charges against the club ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mental Well the press are usually biased towards their proprietaries political view which gives a lopsided view of events. Nothing to much wrong with our fans some are nice, some are not so nice. Edited May 20, 2020 by Inspector Lestrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 OK and I know I’m going to get negged to death for this but this particular article and the general negativity towards us since this process began could be used to our advantage? For instance usually in court cases, the jury is usually told to ignore any outside interference or certain comments that may be uttered during the process, yet I’m pretty sure despite told to, it’s very difficult to do this? We could quite easily claim that articles like today’s are putting pressure on the commission to find us guilty. Two clubs featured in this article stand to gain should we get points deducted or are automatically relegated? And someone from another club has arguably made a personal attack on Chansiri? Yes, and before the someone turns around and say well we could be guilty? I take this on board but from the outside looking in there seems to be pressure from outside to make sure we are? Anyway as I said before only time will tell but I think the fact the individual charges were dropped suggest it’s not as clear cut a case as some might think?
