Apparently we are being represented by Blackstone Chambers who were recently voted the best law firm in The UK.
We're not fucking around
We can't afford to mess around.

If only our left back planning was this organised! LolJust a point.... do you think that we sat around waiting for the PL to charge us then make a few calls to appoint a KC, let alone one of the best... these guys are not sat in their office wondering if they have work for the next few years, they are booked solid!
Our legal team were booked a long time ago and put on retainer ready to go into battle when needed!
PMSFL, in fact first time I’ve laughed in ages, see you at RottersIs Placemate 7 still going?
Lord Pannick - and others - will have been on some kind of retainer for his services in the future, as City knew it was only a matter of time before some more shit hit the fan.No f*cking about from City! He was probably approached a while back and has been preparing our defence for some time.
Lord Pannick KC is one of the UK’s most highly regarded advocates, practicing in a broad range of areas with a particular emphasis on Public law, Human Rights and Constitutional Law and specialising in appellate advocacy in most areas of law, from commercial disputes to trusts law. He has acted in a large number of the leading public law cases of the last 30 years, appearing in 100 cases in the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords (before it was replaced by the Supreme Court), more than 25 cases in the Supreme Court since its creation in 2009, more than 25 cases in the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg and over 30 cases in the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. He appears both for Claimants and for Respondents –whether government departments or other public bodies. He acted for Gina Miller in the Supreme Court in September 2019 when the Court held, by 11-0, that the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, had unlawfully prorogued Parliament and so Parliament was recalled the next day. More recently he has advised Mr Johnson in relation to the inquiry by the House of Commons Committee of Privileges into whether the then Prime Minister misled Parliament about parties at No. 10 Downing Street in breach of Covid regulations. His recent cases in the Supreme Court include litigation in the fields of employment law, trusts law, patent law and commercial law, as well as public law. He regularly appears in the courts of Hong Kong both for and against the government.
Lord Pannick KC is recommended in both of the leading independent legal directories:
- Administrative and Public Law - "He has a brain the size of a planet and could turn his hand to anything." (2020) "Mesmerising to listen to in court." (2021) "He is the most brilliant advocate at the Bar." (2021)
- Civil Liberties and Human Rights - "David is the leading barrister in human rights." (2020) "His level of skill and ability is astonishing." (2022)
- European Law - "Unbelievably knowledgeable about how different areas of law interact; there is nothing he can't turn his hand to." (2020)
- Professional Discipline - "He has an impressively broad practice and is an extremely good advocate." (2019)
- Telecommunications -"A brilliant advocate whose analysis is just excellent." (2020) "He is, as is universally recognised, one of the great barristers of his generation." (2021)

High Court is where this all finally ends.
It isn't just our Club future on the line here.
There is 50 Billion of UAE investment in UK on the line here.
There are politics that will come in to play.
Those Cartel Clubs might feel smug right now. Knowing full well they are going to win the "Battle" at Premier League Level literally "Match Fixing" the out come beforehand which they are very good at.
When this gets to the High Court they will lose the "War"
The Judges will be well aware there is much more on the line than our future.
