PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Groke]

It’s part of the narrative that we need to pay 100 lawyers £100k an hour every hour every day till a case is heard. In reality, we’ll have a team of in-house lawyers(my neighbour being one) working on the every day litigation.,
And Lord Panic will have his team review our evidence and then present it at trial.

Lord Panic won’t be digging through emails looking for the loophole they all claim.

any hint of how it's progressing?

Jarndyce and Jarndyce drones on. This scarecrow of a suit has, over the course of time, become so complicated, that no man alive knows what it means. The parties to it understand it least; but it has been observed that no two Chancery lawyers can talk about it for five minutes without coming to a total disagreement as to all the premises. Innumerable children have been born into the cause; innumerable young people have married into it; innumerable old people have died out of it. Scores of persons have deliriously found themselves made parties in Jarndyce and Jarndyce without knowing how or why; whole families have inherited legendary hatreds with the suit. The little plaintiff or defendant, who was promised a new rocking-horse when Jarndyce and Jarndyce should be settled, has grown up, possessed himself of a real horse, and trotted away into the other world. Fair wards of court have faded into mothers and grandmothers; a long procession of Chancellors has come in and gone out.

It's really quite strange that all of these football fans were caught completely by surprise by the corruption of the FFP system, 14 years after it was implemented against City.

It's human nature, I suppose, only to be concerned with things that directly affect you. None of those fans thought they would caught up in this mess, but, yes, they could have listened more carefully.

You do realise Manchester is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe don't you? I'm not saying he's perfect but if you're expecting a mayor from another party to be in charge here then I have news for you. You could pin a red rosette on a wheely bin and it would win.

Personally, I can see the changes he's trying to make, but it's too early to decide if they're right or not.

You think it's growing because of him? - Rather despite him or inconsequentially at best.
I realise I should have put a line on about - "that applies to most politicians", I know how precious people get.
Anyway - not for this thread.

I didn't hear his TS interview so can't say for certain what his viewpoint was but sadly politicians are very rarely experts in any subject matter, they are by very nature of the job, jacks (and jills) of all trades. We have seen lots of people struggle with the nuances of the financial rules of the PL and politicians are no different. Up until they started handing out points deductions, nobody other than ourselves invested much time into it, so we're far ahead of the game and it makes us look superior to the newbies, Burnham included.

No. Most tribunals don’t have an overarching ‘costs follow the event’ principle like civil courts do. Sometimes costs can be awarded when a party has acted unreasonably, such as in an employment tribunal, but that power is provided by statute.

Parties will almost certainly have to bear their own costs in this particular jurisdiction.

I seem to remember that CFG paid our costs re UEFA . Can anyone confirm?

The real life case on which JvJ was based was eventually settled. No heirs received anything, the whole inheritance was expended on ……..oh, lawyers fees.

Burnham is just a symptom of a wider issue with people finding they NEED to talk about things they clearly dont understand and thinking if they say it enough times and shout it loud enough then the faux air of authority that they project is enough for them to speak on subjects they know very little about.

Our charges are rife with this, the amount of people who feel that they must speak about them despite have little to no experience on the subject is ridiculous, i get coming on here and discussing but its wound its way in to the media, podcasts, youtube, absolutely everywhere, i mean this week alone we have had tony bellew (scouse boxer who wasnt to intelligent before a few blows to the head) and burnham (career politician with no real expertise on any matter) speak on it, what on earth do either of those bring to the table apart from noise, what happened to it is better to remain silent and be thought an idiot than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Andy Burnham has just been on the radio talking about Everton and Forest. They tried to lead him down the City route but he wisely swerved it and skirted round the edges of the issue

Which station?
