- The issue here is the 60m NOK that Lyn received, not the total 195m NOK that Chelsea paid.
- Because the settlement between Lyn, Chelsea, United and John Shittu was done after the filing for a court case against Morgan Andersen, Chelsea will not make any claims.
- The settlement was done with the knowledge that the case could be tried in Norwegian court.
So after all is said and then, we get to keep our money, and Mikel is now wasting away on the Chelsea bench. Back to square one, and everyone (including Chelsea) is happy.

Except Taipan apparently.
