This is exactly my concern, if we put all deals as Pending the investigation and then the decision goes our way there is only one way this will be portrayed in the future.

Suspicion without hard evidence is normally not enough to charge someone. Unfortunately the PL rule book was conveniently rewritten to embrace the concept of reasonable suspicion. I looked last night for comparators… like people chucked out of golf clubs for all allegedly cheating. The EPL is a cosy golf club in my view. There are one or two cases where folk have gone to court but I can’t follow the trail as things were probably settled out of court. This is not a golf club and the stakes are immeasurably higher. This is uncharted territory.

Kind of sums up what I was repeating in earlier posts.
This is not a court of law. If it was I don’t think there would be enough evidence to make so many charges against us.

And as such it is totally up in the air where this could lead.

I certainly haven’t a clue but I do trust the board regardless. They and our legal strategists will already know where they want to drive this.

Yeah, that is something Simon Jordan and others have said: if you've not got anything to hide why don't you show us? But for a major corporation to basically hand over all its emails and communications is just something no one is going to ever do gladly. And like you say, City and Liverpool obviously hate it each other at a boardroom level. The more I think about it the more I think there is something very similar to CAS happening.

Christ! Like anyone is going to listen to Simon Jordan on corporate governance.
 
Sly reporter asking Arteta if he’d ever seen anything untoward…..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA What an absolute thunder-****, I can’t believe anyone is getting paid for that, was it that Gary Cotterill ?

What amazes me is that these accusations have been around since the first window of the takeover, people talking about inflated sponsorship and people being paid by second accounts etc..

We don't use some grubby back street 1 man band accounting company, we use highly respected experts and they no doubt knew of the accusations and would have dug deeply to ensure everything was above board, if they didn't believe it to be they are then duty bound to report this as they can not sign off on what they believe to be false accounts.

Now imagine this happening for 9 years, either these experts are extremely guilable and incompetent in there roles or maybe they found that everything we did was above board. I know where my money is.

The accusation they have made against us is huge, and to win the case they are going to have to have irrefutable evidence that we just can't defend. Our club are claiming we have our own irrefutable proof.

The one thing that really concerns me though is outside of football, the Government and UAE are building strong relationships and I am worried that political pressure is brought on the EPL, they then are forced to back down behind the scenes and once more we are the big bully's.

No matter what happens the scenario is already written.
1. We are found guilty and everyone will label us as cheating cunts.
2. We are found not guilty and everyone will claim we won on a technicality due to having the best Lawyers and we are still a bunch of cheating cunts.

The shit has already stuck to the wall.

As long as we are cleared I don't give two fucks what others think. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but not entitled to their own facts. The only thing that matters is that we are cleared of this farce. Everything else is white noise. When you get to the top of any pyramid there will always be jealous rivals looking for excuses as to why you are more successful than them. Personally, I don't need or even want any sort of acknowledgement from our rivals. I rather enjoy celebrating while they boil. Fuck 'em...fuck 'em all...
