PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

That c... Lawton just been on Talkspirt, Brazil just said come on 2011 just move on, Lawton disagreed saying City are now reeping the rewards based on what went on in 2011, Brazil then mentions come on Real Madrid & others in which Lawton agreed but washed over it bringing City back into conversation

One thing for sure it's not going to get done anytime soon

Lawton also mentioned Martin Samual bigging City up regarding the establishment but yet again changed his tone into basically City are cheats without any outcome complete

When the likes of PB and Projectriver don’t seem overly confident in us getting off then I think we should be worried - neither of them have given us any confidence that things will go our way , right now I’d take fine, and that feels like a win right now.

Why what did they say in particular? Maybe I missed something but that's not the impression I got. But also not that this is easy for city to win.

I know some/most of us are worried about their independence and that this could be a kangaroo court. However, if they were to find us guilty of this, would they then be left with no option but escalate this to the relevant authorities and then potentially a proper court case with potential legal convictions? If this is the case, it does actually make me feel a little more at ease, because I would doubt that the panel would want this going higher up the food chain based on them wanting to "do City".

For the panel to find that the Etisalat payments were disguised owner investment, they'd effectively have to call the chairman of Etisalat a liar. Bearing in mind that this is a publicly listed company on the Abu Dhabi stock exchange, with thousands of ordinary shareholders taking up a 40% stake, the ramifications of any such ruling would be significant. I'd expect the share price to take a hit and calls for a change in leadership at the executive level. Put simply, I don't think Etisalat would take it lying down and would fully expect a counter-action to be brought.

Where have I indicated that I don't think things will go our way? You can never be 100% confident in any court or tribunal of course (as @projectriver knows only too well after his own recent legal travails) but I've always maintained that these charges are paper-thin at best, and completely specious at worst.

Cheers for the reply Colin, its the independent panel that bothers me the most, there is pressure from all and sundry to slap our wrists like a naughty child.

Has anyone watched this Moron shite so the rest of us didn’t have to?
What’s the gist of it? (In 10 words or less)
I’m guessing it’s a nothingburger.

The Etisalat thing really isn't going anywhere, imho.

But it's interesting that more than one "client" journalist has raised this in the last few days, almost as if it's coordinated. \0/
