The club and Premier League confirmed in a joint-statement on Monday evening that the arbitration hearing has been adjourned until ‘early 2022’ due to issues with the disclosure of evidence.

The tweet seems to be a thinly veiled criticism of the Premier League’s handling of the situation.
Both Staveley and Newcastle owner Mike Ashley have called for transparency from the Premier League and for the hearing to be held in public.
Now all parties will have to wait until at least next year before the situation is resolved.
