Apparently we are being represented by Blackstone Chambers who were recently voted the best law firm in The UK.

We're not fucking around

The media think it’s an outrage that we even bother to defend ourselves. We got away with at CAS because we turned up with lawyers and refuted the allegations. disgraceful.
 
Just a point.... do you think that we sat around waiting for the PL to charge us then make a few calls to appoint a KC, let alone one of the best... these guys are not sat in their office wondering if they have work for the next few years, they are booked solid!

Our legal team were booked a long time ago and put on retainer ready to go into battle when needed!

This is brilliant. I'm writing my next missive for KOTK so have been going through the rule books to see exactly what we've been charged with, and it's clear the Pl have fucked it up big time. For example, in 2011/12, they've charged us with a breach of Rule E11. That rule in the 2011/12 Pl Handbook says "Each club shall enter the FA Cup".

I've looked at a few others and it's a similar story. They've seemingly charged us against another rule which says that, except for televised games, all PL games will be played on Saturdays at 3pm.

It's an absolute fuck up.

I tried going through the handbooks yesterday so I could list each breach and make it clear for others but I thought I must be doing it wrong when I kept coming across the same shit.

They got the statement wrong the first time, wouldn't surprise me if there is still errors in there.

So we’re guilty of everything but get off on a ‘technicality’? I’d imagine the PL would love that…….

If only our left back planning was this organised! Lol

You make a good point though
 
Finally caught up (again)
Not really learned anything new.
However one thing is very clear to me.
We need to ban all the cunts in the media from our ground, give them no information, give them fuck all!!
The same goes for the hateful 8, playing and coaching staff are welcome and the rest can get to fuck!
Stop inviting these cunts into our ground, giving them first class hospitality and pandering to their every need.
We’ve had trial by media since the takeover and the hateful 8 have been pushing behind the scenes to not only stop us winning the league, but now it seems they want us gone entirely.
You wanna fight back, start with these cunts!

No f*cking about from City! He was probably approached a while back and has been preparing our defence for some time.

Lord Pannick KC is one of the UK’s most highly regarded advocates, practicing in a broad range of areas with a particular emphasis on Public law, Human Rights and Constitutional Law and specialising in appellate advocacy in most areas of law, from commercial disputes to trusts law. He has acted in a large number of the leading public law cases of the last 30 years, appearing in 100 cases in the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords (before it was replaced by the Supreme Court), more than 25 cases in the Supreme Court since its creation in 2009, more than 25 cases in the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg and over 30 cases in the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. He appears both for Claimants and for Respondents –whether government departments or other public bodies. He acted for Gina Miller in the Supreme Court in September 2019 when the Court held, by 11-0, that the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, had unlawfully prorogued Parliament and so Parliament was recalled the next day. More recently he has advised Mr Johnson in relation to the inquiry by the House of Commons Committee of Privileges into whether the then Prime Minister misled Parliament about parties at No. 10 Downing Street in breach of Covid regulations. His recent cases in the Supreme Court include litigation in the fields of employment law, trusts law, patent law and commercial law, as well as public law. He regularly appears in the courts of Hong Kong both for and against the government.


Lord Pannick KC is recommended in both of the leading independent legal directories:

  • Administrative and Public Law - "He has a brain the size of a planet and could turn his hand to anything." (2020) "Mesmerising to listen to in court." (2021) "He is the most brilliant advocate at the Bar." (2021)
  • Civil Liberties and Human Rights - "David is the leading barrister in human rights." (2020) "His level of skill and ability is astonishing." (2022)
  • European Law - "Unbelievably knowledgeable about how different areas of law interact; there is nothing he can't turn his hand to." (2020)
  • Professional Discipline - "He has an impressively broad practice and is an extremely good advocate." (2019)
  • Telecommunications -"A brilliant advocate whose analysis is just excellent." (2020) "He is, as is universally recognised, one of the great barristers of his generation." (2021)

Lord Pannick - and others - will have been on some kind of retainer for his services in the future, as City knew it was only a matter of time before some more shit hit the fan.

High Court is where this all finally ends.

It isn't just our Club future on the line here.

There is 50 Billion of UAE investment in UK on the line here.

There are politics that will come in to play.

Those Cartel Clubs might feel smug right now. Knowing full well they are going to win the "Battle" at Premier League Level literally "Match Fixing" the out come beforehand which they are very good at.

When this gets to the High Court they will lose the "War"

The Judges will be well aware there is much more on the line than our future.

It's not that dramatic. They're saying we broke financial reporting rules not international agreements. UAE investments will be just fine no matter what happens.

Wouldn't surprise me if he's been on retainer since the der Spiegel leaks.
