putting the cringe rant aside, this is probably one of the two reasons why the process was stopped. if there's no chance of getting any money out of the process, you just save the legal costs. and if you paid any lawyer, let alone an expert, not some generic one who will put a stamp on a standard rental contract, you know that those are very expensive.
again, as a fan it is disappointing. doesn't mean we have any reason to believe it was premature.
also you want the club to be sold. you should be happy as there's no one to pay a billion for a club with pending legal issues left and right. that's probably why we announced to leave the superleague, and that's the 2nd reason why this process ended. celebrate the upcoming sale
