I think there is 0% chance of this being dismissed / thrown out.
A settlement would seem to be the most likely outcome. Burley get something and avoid a protracted and delayed outcome, and we limit the damage.
Burnleys claim is for £50m (!) and that Borson guy (yes I know) is saying £10m could be the final figure.
Even if it was half that, it would be a very significant payout. I imagine the legal fees are substantial too.
Unless the case is...
It becomes all too subjective, different panels, different ideas.
Example - our benchmark was higher than Forest and you only get one appeal. Forest went in, bigger more arrogance breach, at a lower level from the off.
We also were thankful and...
With my legal hat on I can address a couple of the points you make Bri.
Firstly I am not well enough acquainted with the rules that were in place at the time to give a valued opinion on the likely outcome. As with most cases - ask 2 lawyers and...
We built a stadium, and the interest got us.
£19.5m, the majority of which didnt include transfers is ludicrous.
The non-legal matter says there's no leg to stand on. But im sure there is something in it, as @Lanolin mentioned.
Just hope the...
I agree, the consequences of a judgement in Burnleys favour and any degree of a significant reward would open up a huge can of worms.
It was interesting to begin with that Leeds and Leicester decided not to pursue this. Was it a case of people...
"International Dispute Resolution Center".
Makes it sound like trying to end a war, not a spurious complaint from Burnley ffs.
My concern is that this is going to automatically result in some agreed settlement - not too much for us, but not...
I’d give them 1p in compensation. Make a big deal of it. Send a delegation to Turf Moor. Take some pictures of the coin being handed over. Piece in the local papers. Commemorative plate. The whole shebang.
1p is too much to give them, let alone a couple of million or more. Can't rule anything out though because it's us.
No hospitality for Burnley when they visit. I'd offer them some mouldy leftover pies from the bin and they can have them outside...
Not the best result but I get an instant feeling that something big is going to happen to us.
That STADIUM is a masterstroke. Obviously teething issues and settling period to bed in traditions but WOW blown away.
My only gripe was I left mine...
