So what do they hope to achieve in the next 7 days?

that the Court of Appeal will give them the right to appeal the granting of an injuction to stop the sale. If the court of appeal refuse then sale can go ahead, if not they can appeal against the injuction ruling and if they win will likely get an injuction until the full hearing in November. 

1st sentence is right. Not sure about the second. Court of appeal could decide whether injunction appropriate on an expediated hearing as per the case I linked to earlier.

Sweet fucking Jesus. Another kick in the bollocks. It's not the 7 day delay that concerns me so much as the risk of that being extended.

This absolutely bizarre, what's with all the pathetic delaying tactics when there's a willing buyer waiting to complete? Another week without signings now too 

Why every time something good happens we are met with a storm, literally each time.  I’m fed up honestly, this isn’t just a short term problem is it, cos between now and the start of the season would have been perfect time to announce signings in prep for the season but no we can’t even do that.  Bowyer patience wearing thin, and who knows I’m sure they’ll be some legal bollocks stopping it’s happening after the short term injunction, I really really cannot be fucked..

So yesterday we were surprised that the judge didn’t take into account the speculation that the club was about to be sold to TS. 

Chaisty objecting to increase from £16k since original submission and highlighting individual items.

A week is fine. As I said earlier it's annoying, but a minor inconvenience.

Isn’t it just a week to obtain leave to appeal? I.e. if that’s granted the potential delay would be significantly longer?

An appeal which is highly unlikely to be successful, but the judge felt it fair to give Lex a week to attempt it

tbf it's a fair decision, not long enough to really hugely impact the sale and throws out a bone to the douchebags at lex. 

It's not that though. They'll find something else and/or appeal to the court of the court of the appeals and if that doesnt work apply for a 7 day injunction whilst they appeal to the court of the court of the court of appeals.

It never ends.

I wish they had any moral compass and realised what they were doing to this community.

There is probably something that they will come up with on the 9th to prevent it further more . It’s bloody ridiculous 

This. Even knowledge of a date at the court of appeals will mean they can grant extra time. 

It's an injunction and the judge has basically fully backtracked on his verdict yesterday. 

The week is to appeal to the court of appeal to get a date, not to have the actual hearing there. Any hearing would be months, even a year away

It's incredibly unlikely to be granted

TS could still buy the club conditional on the outcome next week. Risky though.

Naaah, he aint gonna do that.

ESI1 and ESI2 fighting over who gets TS money.

My hunch is that the Judge thinks the crooks should split their ill gotten gains between them and fuck off.
To my mind, Nemer and Elliott must have agreed this in the first place - hence the deal for Elliott to buy for a £1.
Nemer then sees the opportunity to keep all the money himself by cutting out Elliott and doing a deal himself - which I guess nets him more money than he would have got from Elliott.
Elliott gets his investment back and a three way split after costs.

Today the judge has refused permission for the plaintiff to appeal his decision, but given the plaintiff wants to then appeal further to the Court of Appeal, the reports of an imminent takeover IS relevant and he will allow them an interim injunction for 7 days.

I am no expert but then shouldn’t the judge have taken this into account yesterday?

exactly

That’s exactly what it is and they do not give a fuck for collateral damage 

Essentially it could only be a 5-day delay, since the takeover was only expected to be complete by Friday at the very earliest.
