PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Not sure about that but, in any case, they don't have much time before the regulator is in place to prevent just that scenario from happening. Or, at least, to completely ruin the clubs that join such a thing along with UEFA and FIFA.

Have a longer sleep :)

The regulator needs to bring the rags to book for failing by overspending, no faith in them either. When you see scruffy Jim with Burnham, Starmer and the ghoul Lord Coe you know it's all pretty much a fix.

Start date is September 16th, expected to last 10-12 weeks, that puts the end date end of November/December. Another month or 6 weeks to reach and write a judgment puts the announcement around new years. Even give them an extra month or 2 and we’re talking about end of Feb.

Stefans been fairly certain there’ll be no appeal likely because of the rules, so I can’t see a situation where the table in April is relevant. If we lose the punishment will be so severe that we’re instantly out of any title race regardless of an appeal, if we win then obviously it’s not an issue.

Given that Everton and Forrest both appealed and Leicester won their appeal, and many outlets expect us to appeal when discussing timescales, we cam safely say that stefan was wrong with his certainty on that one.
 
Bound to be questions from the media scum today at the presser but Pep will take it in his stride. He’s got their number.

Was Stefan's point that we couldn't appeal to someone else eg CAS or a proper court. It all has to be done via the Premier League
 
Another hatchet job by Sky Sports, big article about the charges, heavily slanted to assuming we are guilty. Nothing whatsoever mentioned about what if we are innocent.

Didn’t they appeal the actual sentence though and not the findings/judgement of the panel?

Not sure he was wrong.

I think he said an appeal may be successful on a matter of judgment (ie the level of sanction as in the two Everton cases and the Forest case) but was unlikely to be successful on a matter of fact (such as jurisdiction, like the Leicester case).

Which is why everyone was surprised by the Leicester appeal verdict, and some disappointed :) So I guess there is a little hope, and there isn't much downside to launching an appeal. You don't have to ask leave to appeal either, I think, so it's a good way of tying the PL up for another 3 months .....

Started off with that, but no it extended to no appeals.

I think we should move on from that and accept appeals Are possible and stop parroting 'stefan said' on that one and go with what has since happened.

When we get cleared the media will be in a state of disarray and totally unprepared about what to broadcast as this scenario (1 of 3 potential outcomes: cleared of everything, guilty of some, guilty of all) has not even entered their heads. I need to get a big bag of popcorn in for that day.
