I still have a solicitor's practising certificate and continue to give professional legal advice sometimes, but it's some years since that was the main thrust of how I earn a living. Teaching and training is one of my principal activities now, and, as well as topics of substantive law, I teach legal writing.

One of the first things I tell students is to check what they've written and make sure that it can be read in only one possible way, no matter how easy they may think it should be to discern their actual intention. I explain to them that the last thing one wants as a practitioner is for one's output to be litigated before a court or tribunal because it's ambiguous, with the only argument being that it should be obvious what was really meant.

It's utterly pathetic that the PL should found itself doing that very thing in a case such as the one at hand. The principle is so basic that I try to instill it into not only legal professionals but even university students who have yet to start in legal practice. For the PL to fall foul of that principle is nothing short of humiliating.

Cartel want rules to entrap competition but allow a loophole in case they ever need it. Quite common in US, it’s the reason wealthy strong politically backed get away with it.

So do teams have to abide by the pl rules in the championship as well as the championship rules in case they get promoted.
Do Premier League teams have to abide by both the pl rules and the championship rules in case they get relegation ?

Because Leicester changed their accounting end of year to June, for accounting purposes they were in the Championship in 2022-3 (when they were in the Premier League) and in the Premier League in 2023-24 (when they were in the Championship. So they have to submit the 2023-24 accounts to the Premier League by the end of December so they can be charged all over again, though the sale of Dewsbury Hall might just save them

that caller nailed it from leicester premier league winning team they had sold all best player marhez and co to stay within rules what they really ment to say was you done it once now know your place in football pyramid
 
QUESTION -:

Is there a protocol whereby, if a certain threshold/number of citizen voters is achieved*, their subject can be raised in Parliament ?

If so, a campaign/protest should be started to generate voters names, to demand an independent enquiry into the (mis)Management of the PL.

There appear to be many rotten things happening at the core of the league.
 
It looks like Leicester simply waited until post relegation (PL share forfeited) to publish and submit their accounts, then said, “We are no longer subject to PL rules, so do one!” Independent Panel finally agreed, because the rules were so poorly written Leicester had driven a tank through them!

Good for them! Not sure it has ANY implication or corollary to City and City’s situation regarding any investigation.

Don’t know what you mean mate, he was very insightful on transfers deadline day. “What I can tell you is this….If Chelsea, Arsenal and Sterling all agree then I can see this deal getting done!” No shit Sherlock!
