The moonhowler J James has a password protected blog out stating a 'costly divorce' between SD and us.
my own view is that if the club have had to pay even a few million in damages, to get rid once and for all? Price worth paying. We'd make that money back with upcoming shirt releases etc
We already paid them £3m did we not?

%^*& sake. I'm not saying I want him dead, I just don't want him to be alive.Rumours of an £8m out of court settlement?
Wasn’t that to get out of the 7 year deal ?
Plus £1m capped ,which I hope is the true amountSo thats us had £4M, £22M and now £8M, all of which are made up numbers being posted on twitter by idiots.
The tims are foaming at this court case, so do not believe any figures until it comes from RFC or someone connected to us.
Rumours where?
So much shoite from folk who don't have a clue but pretend to be ITK.
We will find out soon but the situation is very frustrating.
So much for the new regime being open and transparent and keeping the fans informed.
Our club business is as secretive as ever.
Plus £1m capped ,which I hope is the true amount
It won’t be as much as that . I’m just guessing it will probably be around £4 , based on nothing really but I cannot see us paying £8 mill
He can’t remember.Who’s the rumours from Kevin fucking Kelly?
I'll raise you a pound lolI'm also going to make up a number that we've to pay to sever the agreement.
Hearing that we're actually going to have to pay $1tn in order to sever the agreement. Pay up Mr King!!!
Don't be throwing around ridiculous numbers on here pleaseI'll raise you a pound lol
Did Mad Phil not say £22 million?
Much nicer reading, I’m sure the club will provide an update soon. Occam’s razor and all that - let’s wait and see what happens before going into meltdown.The only facts so far:
Case has been heard
A judgement has been passed and delivered to the parties
The sports direct megastore at our stadium is closed.
£10m then £22m a couple of days later
Must be trueDid Mad Phil not say £22 million?
Bravo Sir, Bravo best quote of the day.All of a sudden the mentally challenged hordes want to talk compensation figures.
So, let’s just call it £44 million and be done with it then.
He knows as much as Kevin Kelly does.Did Mad Phil not say £22 million?
He knows as much as Kevin Kelly does.
But Kelly knew everything.He knows as much as Kevin Kelly does.
Incorrect.He knows as much as Kevin Kelly does.

The only sure thing about settling litigation (if indeed it has been settled) is that nobody walks away happy. But the reality here is (a) it appears that we have had a weak hand at every turn, (b) the cost of litigating is significant and (c) for so long as Ashley hangs over our heads we can’t get on and maximise revenue from a proper, fair retail deal. So if it costs a good chunk of cash to get rid of Ashley then we need to bite the bullet, pay through gritted teeth and move on. Best in the long run that we get shot of him once and for all.

Hahahaha BrilliantDon't be throwing around ridiculous numbers on here please
Is the megastore definitely closed today?

Mean to say the outcome, with the fewest assumptions made about it, is usually the right one.What’s an Occam razor ?
