PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[The blue phantom]

maybe so but from a career perspective this is very high profile and will come under scrutiny

Would they let a Kings Council who was a seasoncard holder at City be in charge of this panel?

They would, but I expect that he would not select himself on the panel, and would take care to keep his panel choice neutral.

I expect that one of the 3 will be an accountancy expert rather than a lawyer.

I've just edited my post mate. I meant to say A Kings Council City Fan.

Out of interest, how many people do you think would be a suitable number to ruin a £5billion company?

At least 4

 

[spider blue]

OK Len. (one for the oldies) :)

Fair enough

 

[mosssideblue]

Fair enough

close enough

 

[Centurions]

At least 4

Well there you go, a 3 man panel plus Richard Masters, jobs a good 'un ;)

At least 4

Glazer, Ferguson, Woodward and Arnold?

Suicides, leaking brains, strip clubs, flirting with clients, all-night Amsterdam drinking, testifying at US enquiry, great people, stupid people, learning priority to the right in Holland, flirting with French teachers, trying to get in Danish junior's knickers, inevitably marrying a secretary, taking the world's most beautiful (non-English speaking) coffee girl out for lunch, FDs who testified against the Krays, dating his 6 foot 4 inch daughter, taking the punk receptionist out for lunch, luxury hotels in London, Paris, Munich, Madrid, Milan, LA, NY, Miami, HK, Tokyo, Singapore, Hippopotamus, learning how to spell separate, Sun Tzu, French arseholes, Swiss arseholes, South African arseholes, minuting French board meetings, cricket in Holland, Indonesian secretaries. Just a few. Choose one :)

I’d imagine a man of your calibre very much knows the rules by now……

Glazer, Ferguson, Woodward and Arnold?

Don't call him Arnold, it's Trent.

Rather we were not linked with that corrupt piece of slime in number 10, would prefer to be relegated to the vanarama than be associated with this government :-)

That’s a bit daft

I am in no way legal so probably gonna show my naivity here and it is likely to just be the nuance of language but “the balance of probabilities” does not fill me with confidence.

Seems like you don’t need absolute proof that City did X & Y but just need to be able to say the City probably did X & Y.

Do you want to repeat that question in the other thread?

Im happy to answer it, but I'm keen to keep as much of the discussion of these issues in the main thread as possible.

Sorry. Professional auditors have flirter / flirtee confidentiality to consider .....

 

[eastmanc]

I wouldn’t call it spurious as such, Uefa, ourselves and CAS all agreed that the content of the emails if deemed admissible would mean we had a legitimate case to answer.

CAS themselves in their final summary said that and I paraphrase, " The panel believes there to be something of a witchhunt going on" or words to that effect.

Presumably the answer is that, yes every human being is susceptible to bias or undue influence.

But having KCs is probably the option least option to bias due to their experience, expertise and legal responsibilities.

Maybe one day we’ll have AI justice systems but until then we’re stuck with us mere mortals…

I don’t reckon AI is all that. I was thinking the other day, while out and about that I’d stop off for a bacon roll. When I got there, I saw they had some pasties, So I grabbed a couple for the next day’s lunch. AI might have got me the bacon roll, but I wouldn’t have thought it could have the afterthought to get a couple of pasties…

I remember this one time a crazy Norwegian auditor passed a set of accounts for a company which stated they had bought 40 boxes of staples that year when the CEO had told him he only bought 39 because they got the 40th for free!!!

Those guys are crazy.

Fixed for you

Strictly in the interests of accuracy

AI might do wonders for the waistline though if it doesn’t buy you extra pasties!

They didn’t, not sure where that has come from.

Jeez…hope no-one from the NHS or the Government is reading this!!!
