I just have a feeling that Freshfields knew that if TS said/implied that his takeover was dependent on todays outcome then it would be used by Chaisty as a reason to give an injunciton.
I don't know how anyone can be so confident that today doesn't have a bearing.
Wasn’t TS giving out hugs or something when we won the original case? Didn’t seem like it had no bearing.
I think "our side" have been very poor imo. No criticism of LK (although surely its in her power to ask for more evidence) but wouldn't you go into bat with ;
A sworn statement by TS about the sale. NDA is rather irrelevant at this time I would think. A statement from the EFL about where there are in relation to the OADT for both TS and PE, as well as source of funds etc.
Just seems rather amateurish.
We were all told TS is dealing directly with Roland by those ITK. If that is the case, PM wouldn't be privy to negotiations.
If they give a decision favouring LD, they will basically be saying Judge Pearce made an error.
That error taking Charlton Athletic into the equasion?
Have a hard time wrapping my head around why thats not supposed to be allowed. It's literally whats being fought over
No it isnt... Its Lex Dominus and Panorama Magic fighting over East Street Investments
But is ESI is an empty shell. It has no employees, does not trade and has no assets other than CAFC. To argue that CAFC is irrelevant would be akin to saying it's fine to shoot holes in a shirt without considering the well-being of the person within
Not to be a downer but I'm pretty sure they'll favour an injunction for LD. This is going to November lads
For what reason though? What has Chaisty said today that makes Pearce original decision incorrect?
I’m not saying they should win, I’m saying I think they will. There’s no way they should win, but I think PM have been awful the whole way through - they have very little evidence to back up any of their claims (same goes for LD but a bit less so) and they’re so poor at rebuttals.
The judges seem far more sympathetic towards LD than PM - and LD do have a fantastic point that PM is just an Abu Dhabi shell company that will run for the hills as soon as they can. The only way to protect LD is an injunction until it’s decided in court, and I think that’s the way the judges will see it.
Personally I’d like the solution to be the proceeds of a sale to be frozen for the victor in November, but neither parties want that.

My issue is those that are ITK source is TS - who I don't actually think is ITK himself.
We're slating Mihail rightly for piss poor evidence. But items such as a financials and deal stage - wouldn't that be for Lauren to say X Y and Z will help if you can provide it?
I think personally the outcome will be to allow the sale of the club to Thomas, but freezing the money until the November court date. Only sensible option to take.
To me all of this is a charade both parties know that there has been a deal done with RD and TS it’s been all over Twitter for ten days , this is purely to see who picks up the costs of court case 1 and subsequently court case 2

It’s going to swing either way, I’ve seen people say the judges are more sympathetic towards LD than the last judge, that must be saying something as Judge Pearce was very sympathetic, that didn’t stop him making the decision he did and that will be taken into consideration. Neither side produced new evidence and neither performed well but what will sway the judges to overturn their colleagues decision?

But a deal has not be done has it. It seems dependent on the EFL who I assume will not approve TS if this case goes LD way??

Panorama provided some good evidence, some incorrect evidence and quoted Sky Sports news.

we are more likely to get some bloke called 'Jack' from Wiltshire!
£12m is not football club owner money, just goes to prove he has no interest in "making Charlton great again"
