If the Glazers are indeed, trying to sell Trafford. It wouldn't surprise me if Brady was a part investor. It seems to be the trend among multi, multi millionaire American athletes to invest in the sports/entertainment industry, generally away from their own sport

Brady will soon be a pauper. He is being sued in a class action by investors in FTX a bankrupt crypto currency platform. The cause of action is that Brady did not declare he was being paid when recommending FTX, contrary to US regulations.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

They are celebrating a jammy derby win like they just won the quadruple.

That's how mediocre they've become.

They‘re not celebrating a jammy win, they’re celebrating the return of the PL and PGMOL as their 12th man.

And getting divorced again?

And getting divorced again?

I expect the two are connected.

Not that Giselle isn't worth £300m in her own right!!

She will easily be able to claim she has earned his brand major money just by being married to the vain prick.

It's very annoying have plastic RAGs who have never been to a game trying to get a rise out of you at work. I suspect one cnut might need to update his CV soon.

That lawsuit will go absolutely nowhere.

This is correct, Brady was more than likely paid in crypto currency so in effect could join in the lawsuit against himself.

It's just a nonsense idea. You can't sue Thierry Henry if you cut yourself with a gillette razor.

It was a very heavily publicised endorsement deal as well, I don't know where OP got the idea it wasn't disclosed.

Don’t be too sure. SEC is tough in these cases. Kim Kardashian was fined over a million dollars and Floyd Merriwether settled out of court for 600,000 USD.
With the implosion of the crypto market and SEC’s attitude to celebs endorsing them, there are plenty of cases in the pipeline.

US regs have a special rule for celebrity endorsements of investment schemes, because investors might be persuaded by their fame. Without full disclosure celebs are breaking the law if they endorse investment schemes. So it’s not a nonsense idea to sue under those regs. Gilette razors are not investment schemes!
The fact that there was no disclosure is in the stated cause of action and it is open to Brady to knock this down in court. The plaintiffs would have to show that Brady’s actions amounted to endorsement; that Brady was paid; that there was no disclosure; and that they suffered loss as a result of being persuaded by the endorsement. There are half a dozen celebrity defendants in this class action. Plenty of other cases queuing up
PS Google ”Celebrity Crypto ambassadors sued over FTX”

Giddy as fuck, all i keep hearing is " i wonder if Shaw has let Haaland out of his back pocket yet" ?

I’ve just noticed that Giselle is named as a defendant in the case. She may be in for paying big damages too.

It's a bullshit lawsuit that you will never hear about again.

Reasons it's obviously bullshit - 1) There was complete disclosure that Brady and co were being paid to endorse FTX and paid via shares (that was the whole point, they couldn't have publicised the details of the relationship more). 2) Only the name grabbing celebrity endorsees have been named, not the many businesses and non-american celebrities that partnered with them. 3) FTX was primarily an exchange, not an investment scheme. 4) Actual investment schemes and funds sponsor hundreds of companies and athletes and that ecosystem wouldn't exist if the people getting sponsored were liable for what happened inside those businesses. 5) Anyone who would have invested would have had to sign the normal disclosures about how they could lose all their money.


I guess we'll see what happens.

Complete nonsense. You appear to be making it up as you go along. You are ignoring the cases that have already been decided which I referenced for you.
Point 1. Non disclosure is alleged in the writ. I suspect you are misremembering something. Even if there was widespread publicity, the non disclosure concerns payment.
Point3.
As well as being an exchange FTX was a proprietory coin.
Point 4:
Not pari passu. Opposite direction of movement of consideration.
I spent too many years wrestling with marketing regs re investments than I care to remember, so I think I probably know more than you do.
Point 5. Even if this were the case, a signature could not overcome the regs.
I await your mea culpa when the case is heard!

FIFY

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

To be fair, there was a protest on Saturday before the game. I should know as I ended up walking right into it when making my way to the ground!

Did you have your best zebra's on?

 

[richards30]

Fucking unbelievable that in a days time they could be above us and in two days time they could still be above us and having played the same amount of games!

more likely they draw and we beat Spurs then Arsenal batter them and normal service is resumed. It's been a shite weekend but by Sunday things will be back to normal and the green and gold will be out for the 15,634th time. They are fickle scum, let them enjoy their cup final win, we have real fucking trophies to compete for and in the cabinet. They have cheated their way to the Trafford Cup

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Giddy as fuck, all i keep hearing is " i wonder if Shaw has let Haaland out of his back pocket yet" ?

There's no room for Erling in his back pocket, too full of pies and soggy chips.
