Ashworth - taking us to arbitration

[Zippity]

So can we tell him to fuck off and just stick to our guns?

You'd think that the contract would be watertight now we've got serious owners. He knew what any release clause would be when he signed the contract. Plus, those cunts at Man U know what the release clause is but just don't want to pay it.

I really don't see how they have a leg to stand on.

Be interesting to see how this goes to be honest.

Edit: In theory and I could be talking out my arse here but couldn't this set the precedent of doing this for player sales. . . We want say Saka, and offer £10 million. Arsenal who have him on a long contact so "no thanks, he'll be £100 million". Can we then take them to arbitration.

That seems same scenario?

I don’t think so because, as said, no-one can TAKE anyone to arbitration. Both parties have to agree to it.
That being the case, Zip, I think we could tell them to f off (by not agreeing yo go to arbitration).

There really isn't a case to answer. I'd hope we still have Nick DeMarco on retainer who will get this thrown out hour 1 of the case.
