Yeah, surely it isn't. Looks like it was written by chat GPT and/or a complete moron.

Arbitration agreements don't usually stop urgent court relief and one that does may not be valid.

It won't stop interim relief measures.

Plus, that is the EFL appeal process. There is nothing stopping us pursuing a court injunction as well whenever we like.

One thing we definitely know is that Adam Johnson is a nonce.

Sorry, to be clear, I mean the fans more than anything.

Good. The more tickets are sold ASAP, the better.

I feel a bit sorry for Hull. Only a bit.

I don’t think we would need to pay him anything at all. He would have to prove a loss, which he can't.

This. It would mean not just Boro have a grievance and any action should not be limited to playoffs. So if we get a retrospective points deduction that means we wouldn't have finished in the top 6, then Boro should have to play a semi against Wrexham, not get a bye to the final. If we got a smaller deduction than that it would mean no reason for Boro to be reinstated as no reason why they should get special treatment. Plus an investigation spanning multiple games over the whole season needs much longer than about 10 days to conclude.

They do for a compensation claim but it's not a prerequisite to a regulatory investigation or enforcement. Doesn't hurt to raise awareness.

This won't happen unless lots of us complain. ICOnews is the Twitter handle, I think.

Ah just wanna getabitta water on tha pitch for me playaaas.

Probably matched the transaction time to CCTV. Yes, in terms of credit card data, they will have nothing other than a time, date and transaction ID Number. They can't identify any person from that at their end. The whole "he bought a coffee" thing is bollocks designed to create the impression that there will be a paper trail linking the chap to premises near other teams training grounds. It's desperate stuff.

I really hope he was wearing Saints gear on his walkabout.

This isn't a court case yet.

Why? That just exposes the EFL to legal action and the possibility of the final not going ahead as scheduled. Will be a 'mare for them. Also, worth considering the impact if this is, in fact, quite a common practice and the precedent that a sanction other than a fine and maybe a small points deduction sets.

The more the actual detail comes out, the more this looks like a very minor technical infringement at worse, and the more the Mboro manager and hierarchy look ridiculous.

Send to SFC!

Adam Johnson, he's one of your own.

Classic footballing lack of logic if it does. Play an entire season without it: play a semi-final without it; bring it in for the final. Mental.

If anyone wants to ask them on public channels why they are handing personal data over to newspapers without a lawful basis.

Sounds like bollocks.
