Just saying fact does not make it so.

In his judgment, J. Briggs said:

"The Club’s evidence discloses a real prospect that it will be established at trial that Langston’s governing mind and will at all material times was that of a Mr Sam Hammam."

This was summary judgement application, not trial. The actual documents were not seen. But the club argued in pleadings (the club's evidence) that, in a trial, they would show this to be the case. Therefore this was an argument that the application for summary judgement should be turned down. The judge agreed.

The judge did NOT give judgement that SH is Langston. That, my friend, is a fact.



"The Club’s evidence discloses a real prospect that it will be established at trial that Langston’s governing mind and will at all material times was that of a Mr Sam Hammam."

good enough for me FACT

Read it again. The clubs evidence was a pleading. It was an argument put forward by the club in a legal document. They said they would demonstrate it and it was a material fact that should be argued IN A TRIAL, and therefore summary judgment was not appropriate. The judge DID NOT see HOW the club would establish it.

I was at the RCJ every day for the hearings. Were you?

The tide has turned.

If this isnt sorted soon, any lingering respect the fan base had for Sam will
be gone for ever and i'd cringe at the kind of reception he'd get if he ever
did show his face in the ground (or City) again. It could be embarrassing
for him.

Sad end.

Is this what the Malaysians want? To destroy any memory of Mr Hammamm so are they pushing him?
Like wise vice versa


Come on Doug? 9mil up front. plus 2 plus 2 plus 2.

How much closer do you think ANYONe would go in a negotiation??

How is that 'pushing him'??

People will make their own minds if its a decent offer. They will also make up
their own minds as to why he's turned it down

What the judge is saying is that on the evidence presented to him, he was left with a pretty strong
suspicion that Sam was Langstone. Certainly enough suspicion to deny Summary Judgement!!!

Langstone appealed his decision.

That means it went past that judge, and was STILL turned down.

You being there or not makes no difference at all.

There all crooks out to make money at some point like i have said many times in this thread it makes no diffrence where it come from or if its there personal petty cash we are being loaned to the hilt, Sam needs paying for Vt to convert and we all move on untill then nothing will change, so its the same as last season and the one before it where we was no better off but a few players for a rebrand so far :ayatollah:
