PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

They found a loophole so good for them. However the one to watch is their offshore payments investigation which they have aready admitted. Apparently the premier league investigation is nearly concluded. The ramifications of this are much more serious than a PSR Breach. Let’s see.

That's what fans of other clubs who blame city for dragging out the PSR case for so long need to remember.
Chelsea wrote to the PL and admitted they broke the rules and sent the evidence. 2 years later the PL haven't even charged them.
The PL clearly don't do anything quickly.
Then there is the paqueta case that's been going on for more than a year.

Just watched Stefan on Talkshite on you tube. Is it me or is he becoming more negative with regards to the potential outcome of City's case?

I think the sheer amount of people calling him bias in favour of City and the constant leading questions wanting him to label us as guilty is starting to have weight. I don't know they guy so this is obviously a guess but maybe he's trying his hardest to not appear bias so he's erring more on the side of caution

Wouldn't get too carried away on that. The appeal will find it ok to reverse issues of legal interpretation but findings of fact will be hard to reverse.

Can I ask you a question Stefan? Having just watched you on Talksport you didn't seem as confident with regards to our case as before. Am I right or are you still thinking that it will be really difficult for the independent panel to find us guilty of what they are accusing us of.

He was being a little mischievous about the quality of the independent panel which won't help those on here of a more nervous disposition. But, as always, the outcome will depend on the evidence of the two parties (presumably clearly in the club's favour) and the ability of the two sets of lawyers (at worst a score draw). I wouldn't worry about the panel members, Rosen will put his strongest team on it.

Edit: I just had a look at the three members of the initial Leicester panel: O'Leary, Hunt and Odogwu. Very much a B team. The three members of the appeals board, on the other hand, were two judges and a KC. I suppose you get what you pay for.

Edit 2: This Leicester fiasco is a bit of a black eye for Rosen, imho. He won't be making the same mistake again.

There are three bars to limitation. Concealment, fraud and mistake. Regardless, I agree that the Mancini payments would be time barred, unless they can be proven to be part of an even bigger act of fraud.

Are you sure mate?
I understood that in CRIMINAL cases as you state there is a bar.
But In CIVIL cases it's six years?
