Just for the record (and I know I said I would leave it there....) but there is a world of difference in terms of your having reached a firm conclusion between the phrase "however it seems that the terms of the period of exclusivity were breached" and the phrase you used which was "however it seems undeniable that the terms of the period of exclusivity were breached" .
The latter phrase would be regarded in a court by any judge, any proper lawyer and even any wannabe lawyer (with one exception it seems) as constituting a firm opinion.
Sometimes mate it really is better to stop digging......
I used the caveat 'it seems', because at this stage we haven't seen any actual evidence, only the initial pleadings. If Couhig is correct, Renhe have a case to answer, but we need to see their response to that allegation.
However, I do agree with your assertion that this is a tactical move by Couhig, which prevents any other party from buying Reading FC while this case remains live in the High Court.
Busy trying to convince my daughter that my MENSA rating was off the scale (without mentioning which end).
But the present dispute between @DevC and @bargepole, our resident legal expert, is a matter of linguistics and the likely difference in interpretation in a court of law of the wording of two similar statements.
Apropos of nothing, I asked Chat GPT who was the best poster in the Gasroom. It replied:
Determining the “best” poster on the Gasroom football forum is subjective and varies based on individual preferences and criteria. The forum comprises a diverse group of contributors, each bringing unique insights, humor, and perspectives to discussions about Wycombe Wanderers and related topics.
Some members are appreciated for their in-depth analysis and detailed match reports, providing valuable insights into team performance and tactics. Others are recognized for their humor and ability to lighten discussions, making the forum an engaging place for fans. Additionally, there are contributors who offer historical context, sharing anecdotes and experiences that enrich the community’s understanding of the club’s heritage.
The Gasroom thrives on this diversity of voices, and the “best” poster is often a matter of personal opinion, depending on what each member values in the discussions. Engaging with a variety of contributors can provide a well-rounded perspective on the topics at hand.
It’s worth noting that the forum has experienced instances of heated debates and personal conflicts among members. For example, a discussion thread from July 2023 highlights a disagreement between users ‘ChasHarps’ and ‘bargepole,’ which was described by another member as “becoming increasingly boring and rather pathetic.” This suggests that while the forum is a space for lively discussion, maintaining civility and respect among members is important for the community’s overall health.
Ultimately, the strength of the Gasroom lies in its collective membership, where each poster contributes to the vibrant tapestry of discussions that make the forum a valuable resource for fans.
Can we do Xmas first and the Last Supper in a few months time please. I want to see the look on Mary’s face when having finally got the kid to sleep a non-present-bearing urchin with a drum appears on the scene. Hope he isn’t quite as enthusiastic as some of our terrace fayre of yore.
I’ve quite enjoyed this to be honest. So far Dev has been the snarkier but hasn’t landed a knockout blow. Is Bargey trying ropeadope, waiting for Dev to land a low and libellous blow before unleashing his legendary legal action threat counter-punch?
Excellent entertainment. Well played gentlepeople. Where were you on those long international breaks though?
Genuine question @bargepole - why the late(ish) life decision to move into law? (And feel free to pass on answering).
And also another genuine question - and absolutely no disrespect intended - have you been tested for ASD? (It feel it fits with the tone and content of a lot of your posts). (Ditto on pass)
When I retired from full time work in sales and marketing, I decided to do an Open University degree course in Law, as I'd always been interested in it, and had dabbled with trying to help people. I started my company in 2017, and enquiries came flooding in, mainly because most solicitors won't touch small claims cases, as there's no money in it for them. I charge a reasonable fee of £295 per case, and that provides me with a steady income to top up my pensions.
As for ASD, I've never been tested for it, but am probably on the spectrum, as I can remember my home phone numbers from all the houses I've lived in, and the registration numbers of all the cars I've owned. My daughter can memorise the order of a pack of cards in 10 minutes, and one of my grandsons age 11 can tell you the capitals cities and flags of all the countries in the world. So I guess it runs in the family.

I'm not in a hole, and not digging.

Oh you are.
No you said "it seems undeniable...." not just "it seems.....".
Two very different meanings....
Anyone who does a Mensa test should have their score divided by two.
@micra where are you when needed?

I’m keeping out of it.
devc and bargeyp could write a bad romance (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It’s a scam playing on petty vanity and I’ll never get that £65 quid back.
absolutely terrible thread this
Depends if you're trying to fall asleep or not.

Very astute I think!
Okay, our slogan now needs to be 'A Vibrant Tapestry of Discussions'.
Christ this is bad... bring on tomorrow evening fast!!
Jesus' mates at the underwhelming house party before the last supper
Should definitely limit both to that one thread.
We could have a dedicated 'Adventures In Red Tape' thread for us all to
ignoreavidly read.What time is Dev's open-top bus parade?
Perhaps Bargepole and DevC should try to beat the 11min 20Sec face-off between Usyk and Fury at half time on Friday.

Does that mean there are also three wide men in the terrace?
I meant *wise - I don't doubt that there are three wide men in there.
This town ain’t big enough for the both of us.
btw thanks for the idea for my listening tonight.
“……..& it ain’t me who’s gonna leave”
said Dev and Bargie both!

Don't knock Ron. One of the very few people who stood up to Saville and stopped him taking a young girl 'behind the scenes' at Top of the Pops.
We are all wise on the terrace, whether it be matters of tactics or having a fair idea of who ate all the pies.
Some area of the terrace are more Morecambe and Wise
