My money is on Jose making a face to face apology to Eva.

 

Not at all. Read the club statement. He has merely wished her well & thanked her for her time at the club.

The only opinion I gave on this whole thing is... what's with the weird faces she keeps pulling outside of court

Anyone thinking that Jose apologiesd is outa their minds. The man would blame it on flying mutant pigs rather than apologies.

 

carniro was just holding out for bigger payout from Chelsea. Seems like she got paid enough. 1.2m or 2.4m, hardly an amount worth fighting for the club.

The duchess thinks she's pregnant, heartburn or some such.

I don't think any personal interaction between the two would be a part of the official club statement.

Yeah must have a personal apology from Jose. I wonder if United had something to do with it, they must have.

Exactly.. Money grabbing bitch.

that amount wasn't my quantum takeaway at all and was probably much much less. My understanding is that the "open" offer of 1.2 was made some time ago (ie months) by the club & that the offer lapsed of its own accord. Of significance concerning that amount is that there is absolutely no way the Tribunal would (had she won) made an award of that amount to her. And so leading up to the hearing, the club and its lawyers must have felt rather comfortable in terms of its position regarding the ultimate outcome of the litigation whilst Carneiro & her team would have felt increasingly uncomfortable. And so it played out. In an act of desperation less than 2 weeks before the hearing, Carneiro and her team, no doubt realizing that the club's offer should have been accepted, filed new evidence from her in an attempt to bolster her claims (& most probably as an attempt to have the club renew its earlier offer and/or accept a late counter-offer). That was a critical mistake since the filing & reliance by her on this "new" (somewhat hyperbolic) evidence opened significant new doors to the club in respect to her cross-examination & indeed the club's lawyers made much of that fertile new ground in its opening submissions on the 1st day of the hearing. And of course, the other point of note as the hearing progressed was that the language expert testimony as to what was said - ie. was it son or daughter, seemed to me to be pretty open and shut that it was the former and/or that the Tribunal would find as much. And so, Carneiro & her team, in consequence of this & faced with the prospect of some very damaging cross-examination of her to follow, then...."blinked" ie. settled. In litigation in these circumstances the vernacular attached to such mid-trial settlements in the trade are the "coward's settlement" or "the desperate settlement". Rest assured - she ultimately took much much less than the 1.2 in order to avoid what would have been a disaster for her.

Interesting stuff..I just assumed because Chelsea's statement is so contrite, Eva cleaned up

Exactly.. Money grabbing bitch.

On that, now this matter has been settled, I'm closing this thread.
